We all have those programs that just draw us in. You just love watching them and could watch them non-stop! What are yours?
Mine are:
Alina’s FS at Olympics (my favourite performance ever!! so much spring in those jumps and the save of the 3Lz-3Lo is amazing)
Zhenya’s FS at Worlds (a great comeback!!)
Anna’s FS at Russian Nationals (just spellbinding! so excited for her senior debut)
Any performance of Anna’s SP - her musicality is amazing!
Kaori’s FS at Japanese Nationals - sensationally artistic!!
Rika’s SP at WTT - the triple axel is to die for!!

The Queen's Gershwin Concerto at Vancouver takes the top spot for me, just, long live the Queen. My Youtube playlist unfortunately has been bombed beyond recognition :( but to list some others:

The Queen's Bond at Vancouver
The Queen's Dance Macabre at Worlds
The Queen's Send In The Clowns at Sochi
Yuzuru's Seimei at NHK and Pyeongchang
Yuzuru's Otonal at GP Helsinki (or Rostelecom)
Jason's Riverdance at US Nats
Jason's Love Is A B(bleep) at Worlds
Piper and Paul's Vincent at 4CC (or Canadian Nats)
Sui/Han's Hallelujah at Pyeongchang
Sui/Han's Rain, In Your Black Eyes at Worlds
Savchenko/Massot La terre vue du ciel at Pyeongchang
Peng/Jin's Ophelia at GPF
Sakamoto Kaori's The Piano at Japanese Nats (it's half for her reaction to the scores tbh)
Alyona the Angel's both performances at JrRusNats
(Tomono) Kazuki's West Side Story at Worlds
Avonley and Vadym's Demons at US (junior) Nats
Virtue/Moir's Mahler at Vancouver
Evgeni Plushenko's Tribute to Nijinsky at RusNats (I think, it's the one where he got 11 6.0s)
Sasha and Mitya (aka Boikova/Kozlovskii)'s Nutcracker Pas de Deux at RusNats (It's 80% for Mitya's fistpumps I admit it)

And then some more, there are too many of them. And now I'm off to rewatch the Queen's coronation for the umpteenth time

I’m just gonna choose one. There are a lot of great performances from a lot of great skaters that I keep watching but for some reason this performance from the 2012 JWC is a chronic go to. Years later I still find myself spamming it all over GS and I think it’s one of my favorite 2a passes ever. Sometimes we can’t explain why and maybe we don’t need to but this is just a great performance that encompasses everything I find great about this sport.

Yuzuru Hanyu's 2012 Worlds FS. I watched it without any expectations to begin with and ended up blown away, asking myself what is this that I just saw. The commentary below captures my reaction. "What talent! What generosity!" It was my introduction to Yuzuru Hanyu.

https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&sou...BMAB6BAgFEAU&usg=AOvVaw1UjqCNj5pQGvqX9REqH69r

That is my most watched Yuzu program too! other ones include 2014 Olys Parisian Walkways, 2015 NHK Seimei, 2018 Olys Chopin, 2018 Mission Impossible EX, 2018 RoC Otonal.

For girls they are Yulia's 2014 Olys team, Yuna's 2010 Olys Bond, Alina's 2018 Olys Black Swan, Kaori's 2018 Japanese nationals FP, Marin Honda's RJ
