I will start with G and G. Who was like them and the epic love story and tragic death have left him in our memory as forever young. A big strong man who effortlessly lifted Katia to her full expression as a great pair skater and a young beauty in her prime. They are stuck in time forever.
Technically they were very good. It was not just their beauty or the great choreography by Zueva.. they had it all in spades. My second favorite team I think must be Elena and Anton for many reasons that should be obvious to anyone who watched. Another team that was spectacular over many years was the amazing Shen and Zhao who practically invented the sport in China. Remember beside Lu Chen these two really fought their way up from a country with no real federation when they began and wowed everyone with their prowess and then artistry. Amamzing to watch this transformation.
As far as North America goes I loved Tai and Randy and recall their heartbreak at the Olympics. They remain my favorite American pair. As for Canada well twomdifferent eras but there was the awesome Martini and Underhill and then Sale and Pelletier. How could one choose between these two beautifully talented couples?
Last I would have to say that Aliona Savchencko was amazing. A tiny dynamo. I preferred her first partner despite the fact she didn’t win her Oly Gold with him. Bruno was fine. A great frame to show off Aliona.
Pairs like Ballet will always have so many Russians that just are the best. That is my opinion.
If your had your choice of 4 teams the world over who gets you podium plus pewter medal for all time and why?
