Your favorite Kiss&Cry moments

Finlandia Trophy 2009.

Daisuke Takahasi is in the K&C after his SP and a flower girl gives him some gifts from the audience. He kisses her in return. The poor girl just can't believe she's been kissed by a Skating God. See her reaction here:

Haha I've never seen this before, adorable, I love how she kind of fanned herself after, I would faint on the spot if that was me
 
- The pissed Yuna's face after she finds out she loses to Sotnikova. Never been so satisfied when watching figure skating. Actually it would be more satisfying if it were Yulia instead of Adelina, but you get what you can!

- Happy Tara after she finds out she beat Kwan: "I am so good, I am so good..!" :)
 
- The pissed Yuna's face after she finds out she loses to Sotnikova. Never been so satisfied when watching figure skating. Actually it would be more satisfying if it were Yulia instead of Adelina, but you get what you can!

I recall Yuna smiling and chuckling, not being pissed off at all.
 
It has to be for me: Joannie Rochette after bravely skating her short program at the 2010 Vancouver Olympics (2 days after her mother passed away) and collapsing in her coach's arms.
 
- Angelika Krylova's reaction/crying to Weaver/Poje's skate to Je Suis Malade at worlds was awesome to watch, imo. She was so proud; and I'm right there with her. And then Kaitlyn running over to hug training mates, P/B, when they ended up taking the bronze position.
- When H/B found out they'd won junior worlds this past year - her reaction was priceless.
- I think that when V/M won in 2010, they were pretty adorable in the kiss and cry...her surprise and delight was cute.
- I also think Jason Brown and Kori Ade in the k&c at the Olympics was just the sweetest!

I could keep going on, lol. I feel like the k&c is full of so many great moments!
 
The team K&Cs at the 2012 WTT were a lot of fun, especially Team France and Team Italy. Favorite moment was when skaters from every country were cheering for Takahashi after his totally awesome FS.

Tomas Verner pelted with plushies at the 2008 Euros
More K&C antics with plush toys, this time involving Brian Joubert: 2008-9 GPF and 2010 CoC.

I liked Zhang and Bartholemay's coach (Jim Petersen) reaction during their entire 2014 Nationals LP. I also like the Shibs when they won bronze at World's in 2011. Always loved how Igor would clap with hands above head when Davis and White did their twizzles. Love Poje and Weaver's gracious and exuberant celebration when they barely missed gold but won silver at 2014 Worlds. Loved when Meryl shhh'd the crowd when they booed when they missed the podium at the 2009 Worlds. All classy! Not kiss and cry, but disliked Virtue and Moir's chatty, disrespectful demeanor on the podium during the 2014 Olympic flower and medal ceremony. I get it...you didn't win so talk and laugh because no one else should get the honor but you.
This is supposed to be a feel good thread, not an opportunity to whine about whoever you happen to dislike.
 
At the 2011 U.S. Nationals, Ryan Bradley had a great SP, but in the FS his quads didn't go as planned. This video reminds me that, when our dreams come true, life won't necessarily follow the picture perfect script we've always imagined. So never give up on the performance! The K&C sequence starts around 8:25.

This is one of my all time favourites as well! I love his "Whaaaaaaat is going on ???" :laugh:
 
This was also cute at the 2013 World Team Trophy after Gracie's SP.

:laugh: I just realised Jeremy was tangoing in the back of this. Even better.
 
The normally stoic, calm Yuko Kavaguti's eyes widening and her mouth opening just a tiny little bit when she saw the world-record-breaking score she and Sasha posted at 2010 Euros, then she turned to look at Tamara Moskvina and was stunned at what they'd accomplished. That's the most excited she'd ever been in K&C IIRC!
 
... One of my favourites, Joshua at Omaha in 2013 - he and Damon have a quick conversation where Damon tells Josh that Max is going to be champion and Josh is happy...when he realises he got a medal, almost falls backwards off his seat, and Max starts crying because he realises that he's National Champion, and Ross gives him a big hug...and Jeremy sits in the corner sulking.

I'm having trouble finding the video. I think it was the NBC broadcast that showed the cutaway to Max.

Thx for your great post, karne.

I think most -- although maybe not all -- of what you describe is in this video of Josh's FS kiss and cry at 2013 Omaha Nats (NBC HD).
At approx. 5:30, Josh Farris is taking his bows on the ice, and then Max Aaron and Jeremy Abbott are seen waiting to learn their fates. The video continues for three more minutes, ending immediately after an emotional Max receives the great congratulatory hug from the gracious Ross Miner.

The Japanese version of Josh's kiss and cry is better at showing his happy reaction to his score and placement, starting at approx. 6:45. He is a sweetie.

And ... for Max's wonderful amazement and joy when he received his huge FS scores earlier (without knowing yet that they would eventually win the championship for him), here is his kiss and cry in Omaha (NBC HD), starting at about 6:00. He is another sweetie.

The NBC version of Max has the money shot of the moment of hearing his scores, but it is an edited version of the kiss and cry. Starting at approx. 7:00, the Japanese video has some additional footage of Max bouncing around in the k and c as he is waiting for his scores.

ETA, Japanese HD version of Max's FS (he enters k and c at approx. 6:15; is seated awaiting scores at approx. 7:10):
