Now that the 2014-15 season is over (except for WTT), what were your favorite moments/programs/performances of the season? This can be anything from someone finally using a piece of music you love to a funny/touching kiss-and-cry reaction to an impossible element being completed to a performance that brought you to tears-anything goes! (Please try to keep it under ten, though, if you can-15 is the absolute upper limit, for those of you who can't decide )
For mine:
7. I remember being super-excited leading into Skate America-it was my second season as a fan, and the first where I would see any GP events-and when I saw that the Shibs, my favorite dance team, were skating to Asturias, which is one of my favorite classical pieces, I was jumping up and down like a rabbit who had just downed a pitcher of espresso. Good times!
6. Another SA moment (it was a really exciting time LOL), except it isn't one decisive moment: the pairs event at SA was really what raised my interest in watching pairs. A/S's awesome SP and D/F's silver medal-not to mention K/S's throw quad sal-made me think, "hey, this is pretty cool stuff-I should really be watching this!" And that was a great decision!
5. Joining Golden Skate, of course! (hey-not all the moments happen on ice!)
4. My personal skating accomplishment of getting four singles (salchow to flip) and most of the major spins (except back sit and back camel) this year.
3. C/B's world silver. It was a bit of a "let-out-a-collective-sigh-of-relief" moment for the American fans who were a bit desperate after last year's near-depressing worlds, and they both beat their main rivals (W/P) and posted the season-record SD score.
2. Gracie Gold's FS at worlds. I stayed up extra-late just to watch it and I was literally shaking from the nerves of hoping she would skate well, and when she skated that program the best she ever had, I went totally berserk. It then took me an extra two hours to fall asleep from the adrenaline.
1. Attending nationals! There were so many moments here that I don't know where to begin-Karen Chen's epic come-from-behind FS, watching S/K make history as the first US pair to execute a quad twist, getting to witness the mindblowing superificness that was the Shibs' SD in person, meeting everyone in the lobby of the hotel (and Gracie signed my phone!)...it was truly one of the greatest weekends, and experiences in general, of my life.
