1. Virtue and Moir. Just everything. From the opening ceremonies to the team gold to the individual gold. Just loved everything they did these last 2 weeks.
2. Aliona and Bruno winning gold. I mean, Aliona finally has an olympic gold medal. So happy for them.
3. Osmonds bronze with a clean SP and an almost clean FP, which she had been struggling with all season so it was great to see her lay it down
4. Patrick Chan finally getting an OGM.
5. Duhamel and Radford getting gold in the team and bronze in the individual. After last season I had some doubts on whether they'd make it even close to the podium so I'm so happy they went out and performed to the best of their abilities and are going out on a high note (if they don't go to Worlds)

Special shoutout to Gabby for the composure she kept during the costume malfunction and then going out the next day and not letting what happened to her the day before affect her in the FD.

Top 5:

1. Virtue/Moir FD – The moment I saw on the NBC live tracker page that they did enough to win!
2. Savchenko/Massot FS – Aliona finally getting her gold.
3. Marchei/Hotarek Team FS – That scream she lets out after their first perfect skate.
4. Hanyu FS – His expression in the choreo sequence and successfully defending his gold after an injury filled season.
5. Team Canada wins team event – Fully deserved for our star-studded team.

Bottom 5 (not part of the question but unfortunately not everything is happy at the OG):

1. Men’s Team SP – As the opening event, got me worried after all the anticipation for the OG. Fortunately, the skaters got their bugs out and killed it in the individual events.
2. Wang/Lui missing the FD – Love their improvements over the years so bummed that we didn’t get to see them perform their fabulous FD.
3. Sui/Han missing gold - By less than a point.
4. Chock/Bates FD - shocking double fall in the spin.
5. Evgenia Tarasova after FS - breaking down into tears after realizing they missed the podium.
