Joubert's 2004 euros SP! skated like it was an exhibition...

 

[Tonichelle]

Although it was never skated to it's potential, Kurt Browning's St. Louis Blues SP from 1994 is a complete masterpiece.

ITA!!!!!!

Add Jamie and David's 02 SP... too cute!

Speaking of Jenny Kirk, how could I forget her Chicago SP at Skate America this year? Why ABC chose to show Sasha's rehashed program, I will never know. Yeah, she was in first, but JENNY rocked the house.

Well since you already put the ones I think were great, I think I will have to add

Ilia Klimkin "Swan Lake"

By the way did Jenny skated Chicago clean this season? Because I only got to see her SP at Worlds and I though it was great even with that fall.

 

[iluvtodd]

Michelle's Rach - US Nationals 1998

Todd's "Walk on the Wild Side" - 1997 Worlds

 

[PrincessLeppard]

By the way did Jenny skated Chicago clean this season? Because I only got to see her SP at Worlds and I though it was great even with that fall.

Jenny was clean in both the SP and FS at Skate America, and not only clean, but completely on fire. The audience was behind her all the way. Alas, ABC decided NOT to show Jenny's SP.

[Grgranny]

You mean we're supposed to remember??

 

[Rgirl]

Most of my favorites have been mentioned except:
Slutskaya: '98 Olympics "Piano Waltz"--She doubled the Lutz on her combo but the rest was spot on, and the choreography and tone of the program was so very *Irina*--playful, slightly tongue-in-cheek, yet powerful.

Candeloro: '98 Olympics. Don't know the title, but again, so very *Philliipe.*

[JonnyCoop]

Off the top of my head:

Boitano's "Les Patineurs" at 88 Nationals
Slutskaya's "Culture" at 01 Worlds
Slutskaya's "Piano Waltz" at SLC
Yagudin's "Winter"
Sale & Pelletier's SP at SLC (even with the big plop at the end; actually I think it added to the theme!!)

 

[mariana]

G&G's '88 and '89
B&S 2001
And D&S 2002 Memoirs of a Grand Ball (OD, I know, but still...)
