Since we're all relaxing and enjoying ourselves this Thanksgiving weekend, no better way to pass the time then to enjoy past videos. (And yes putting Evan in for now, since he hasn't announced WD and whether you like him or not, he is the reigning OGM).
Anyway, just for fun (and also to give you a sense of skaters' best), I present to you programs of our top Olympic team contenders in order of ISU personal best. I linked videos in first reference but did not include the link if the program is included other categories.
Of course, it's not a perfect comparison, because some of the personal bests came when certain rules weren't in place, but you get the idea.
