I can’t do it! ☹️ Lol #dumbbrain
I don’t have an automatic response, I think I have a program/s for nearly any mood or mindset, like how a certain song will pop into your head when you’re doing something (like, Rocky theme song for boxing 😉)
Adam Rippon was the only one who I thought of without thinking, but I’ll be damned if I can narrow it down to a program! Just saw him spinning. Possibly because I just read the spins thread ;)

Plushy - LOL this is sad, I can't even think of specific SP and/or FP, but when someone says "Mens Figure Skating" that's all that comes to mind :laugh2:
Actually I can think of lots of FS answers, but SP's are elusive... His Carmen and Tribute to Nijinsky immediately come to my mind LP/FS wise

Ladies
SP: Medeveda one with skipping - Wikipedia tells me its Melodies of the White Night
FS: I can't think of one?! (Gee brain...)

Pairs
SP: Maxim and Tatiana's Indian Dances
LP: T/M's Candyman

Dance
SD: ???
FD: Torville and Dean's Bolero (I think that answer is the law)

The CandyPeople are etched into your brain!!😂 Somewhere, T/M are saying “see, we said it was great and timeless music!” ;p
Love it :)

I wanna edit mine now to say Bolero, that was the example that an overworked, adequately antibioticed, underfed/rested Olympic-watching brain gave to people as the answer to the whole “wait, but we’re watched the *couples* already/what do you mean, there’s a difference? Oh! They’re doing another round??” question. Thank you :)

OK, I am struggling with translating and therefore procrastinating and thinking about skating. IF you had to name the first long and short program that comes to mind in each of the disciplines (for Ice Dance I am saying OD or SD depending on the era) what would you say. This is not the best, worst or anything like that; just what do you instantly think of .

Great thread. Posters hit the jackpot.

Now it is too late for me to think of something "off the top oif my head," so I will contribute:

Rugby Match: Springboks versus All Blacks, 1995. :)

I have no idea why these are what popped up in pairs especially. I was trying to think of B&S Lady Caliph, but I&Z's SP from the same year popped up - then B&S occurred to me with their Chaplin

Pairs:
SP: Tatiana VOLOSOZHAR / Maxim TRANKOV - 2014 - Waltz --> it's perfection
FS: Elena Berezhnaya and Anton Sikharulidze - Chaplin - 2001 --> the reason I follow pairs in figure skating ..... and Tatiana Volosozhar-Maxim Trankov
