If you could choose 10 skaters/teams to skate in an international version of Russian test skates so you could see their programs earlier, who would they be? Limited to 10 in total across all 4 disciplines.
Mine would be:
Men:
1) Yuzuru Hanyu - the king
2) Nathan Chen - he had really good programs last year, interested to see his artistic growth over the off-season
3) Daisuke Takahashi - his programs are always beautiful and I love his SP last year so I hope his new one lives up to that one
Ladies:
4) Evgenia Medvedeva - her programs sound really promising and she's working with my favourite choreographer, Shae
5) Rika Kihira - both programs have interesting concepts and what I've seen of them thus far sounds promising
6) Loena Hendrickx - I loved her SP last year and Fever sounds like a great choice for her
7) Wakaba Higuchi - I really want for this to be her year to rebound and magic is created whenever she works with Shae
Pairs:
8) Sui/Han - you just know that whatever they skate to will be glorious
9) James/Cipres - they always have great programs
Ice Dance:
10) Gilles/Poirier - always original

Guess what my favourite discipline is. I could probably have done 10 just for pairs, but I tried to incorporate the other disciplines as well.

First of all I'm putting Yuzuru in of course even though I know that even in a dream, it's a pipe dream unless the other nine - whoever they turned out to be - agreed to combine it with media day (and promptly be backseated by the Japanese press, which heaven knows I wouldn't care for myself)

1. Elizavetta Tuktamysheva
2. Satoko Miyahara
I'm not much into the ladies, but if I was going to head that way these two and Eunsoo would be at the forefront of pushing me into it.

3. Sui/Han
4. James/Cipres

5. Yuzuru Hanyu
6. Kevin Aymoz
7. Shoma Uno
8. Jason Brown
9. Junwhan Cha (come on, after JUNLIEEEEEET, aren't you all dying to see what he comes up with next?)
10. Boyang Jin or Sergei Voronov, I can't choose!

Sorry, no room left for dance... maybe we need a baker's dozen instead of ten.

Tarasova/Morozov - odd choice, since their programs are usually bland and/or bad, but I want to see what Marina has done with them. She usually has very good taste.
