Favorite programs this year

[ImaginaryPogue]

Yu-Na's SP
Jeremy's SP
Nobu's LP
C&L's Requiem- that scary smile she does just makes it for me!

SERIOUSLY!!!!!! During that lift, she turns and gives that grin... I swear, it sends shivers down my spine. But seriously, if she ever smiled at me like that, I might die.

In terms of junior ladies, I really love Anna Ovcharova's SP. She has such great musicality and presence for a 13 year old and her jumps are really strong too . What a cutie! I can't wait until she's on the senior grand prix circuit. Plus I worry about her losing her jumps less than Polina Shelepen, who has weird technique and shaky landings and is extremely thin. I bet Polina will end up getting really tall in the next few years and struggle with her triples.

 

[Ladskater]

Virtue and Moir - Mahler program

Aliona Savchenko and Robin Szolkowy - Out of Africa program

 

[ae9177]

Yu-Na Kim: sp + lp
Lepistö: lp
Suzuki: lp

Takahashi: sp + lp
Lysacek: sp + lp
Lambiel: lp

My pick exactly. I also like the choreography of Yukari's SP, Asada's EX, Verner's LP, Bradley's LP and Rippon's SP.

For pair, S/Z's SP is my absolute favorite. I become a big fan of Lori Nichol this year.

For ice dance, I'll go with D/W's OD and V/M's FD. Look forward to seeing what both D/S teams (the French and the Russian) can bring to the table at Euros.

SERIOUSLY!!!!!! During that lift, she turns and gives that grin... I swear, it sends shivers down my spine. But seriously, if she ever smiled at me like that, I might die.

I love how this program really works with the theme- he's the addict, she's the drug. C&L do a really good depiction of addiction with this FD.
