Hello

I'm new here, so apologies if this isn't the right place to post this.
I've recently got into watching Ice Skating via Sochi, and started going off to watch videos of previous performances. Out of the things I've watched I've loved

Yuzuru Hanyu - R+J 1.0, Change, Hana ni Nare
Daisuke Takahashi - Garden of Souls, Blues for Klook, Amelie
Julia Lipnitskaia - Schindler's List
Mao Asada's - Smile/Wonderful world

I've not really watched a lot, so I'm hoping to get some recommends for youtube videos to watch :)

Don't forget to check out Lucinda Ruh if you're a fan of spins. She's not the best skater technically but her spins are outstanding.

I can't recommend that Nathalie Krieg video enough!! You don't have to win a medal to put on an amazing skate. Plus I love spins and booing judges!

I second that on Lucinda Ruh! She was a glorious spinner indeed.
I loved watching Grishuk & Platov 1997 Libertango. Used to watch it all the time.
