Of all time: Plushy (I know, shock, what a surprise ), I still enjoy little snippets of him skating at his school and love watching his old programs on YouTube.

Tarasova/Morozov are my favourite of all pairs! Such beautiful skating! I actually cried when they missed the Olympic Podium.

For the ladies Irina S and Liza are my faves, especially Liza I also like Zhenya Med a lot and from the younger skaters Sasha T is fierce!

For men, Sergei V for sure! It's so cool he's still skating, looking forward to his GPs. I also have soft spot for Andrei L, he did so well at Worlds last year, I hope he can keep improving! Mika Kolyoda is great to watch when he's on, I hope the sinus surgery goes well for him.

Dance I don't pay that much attention to, I did like Ekaterina B and Dmitri S I also like Nikita K and Viktoria for some reason.
