That was 4CC :laugh: their seasons best is from the GPF and I think it was overall the best version, with COC coming a close second :)

1. Papadakis/Cizeron RD everywhere. even with mistakes. I get why the judges favour this. It's so different. Wonderful!
2. Papadakis/Cizeron FD everywhere. Again, I just love the originality.
3. Chock/Bates FD. That snake dance is just superb. And their joy in skating it is a bonus.
4. Gilles/Poirier FD No comment. Just good.
5. Fear/Gibson FD disco Brits. I want to dance too.

Does this mean I don't like others? Of course not, I love the Italians' Ground Control, I always love Stepanova/Bukin....but to me these 5 are the best.

Ah, you're right. For some reason I was thinking GPF was 4CC and was really surprised, lol. 4CC was where a couple of teams wiped out.

1. Gabriella Papadakis / Guillaume Cizeron FD NHK (amazing, WR breaking performance)
2. Charlène Guignard / Marco Fabbri FD IdF (SB/PB even with Marco's injury. Barbara cried, I cried)
3. Piper Gilles / Paul Poirier FD SCI (lovely performance, and her reaction to winning their first GP gold was wonderful)
4. Alexandra Stepanova / Ivan Bukin FD Europeans (delivered this impressive performance when they needed to, to grab the overall bronze)
5. Charlène Guignard / Marco Fabbri RD Europeans (they looked like they were having the best time, and won the small bronze too)

If I could cast an additional fifth-place vote for Kaitlin Hawayek and Jean-Luc Baker's marvelous rhythm dance from the U.S. Championships, I'd happily give up a fifth-place vote elsewhere (pairs, I guess).

I'll actually have to try and put a list up of my own, but the thing is, for me the best ID performance of the year was Nguyen/Kolesnik's FD at Junior Worlds. Breathtaking. And yes, Kazakova & Reviya's FD at JGPF would be on that list too, if it wasn't a Junior's performance.
