1)Wakaba LP
2)Deniss's LP
3)Anna and Luca FD
4)Savchenko/Massot LP :Bruno's face on the GS homepage cracks me so hard whenever I see him.
5)Loena's SP+LP
1) Loena Hendrickx, both SP and FS; what an amazing competition for her!
2) Savchenko/Massot LP. It's simply amazing, out of this world. Watching that program makes me forget it's a competition - it's that good
3) Mikhal Brezina FS. It's been a long while since he skated that well and clean, I'm so happy for him!
4) Misha Ge kissing the ice after his last competitive FS. I shamelessly cried like a baby.
5) Wakaba Higuchi's redemption FS. That program is imo the best this season, hands down. And she finally nailed it, when it counted the most. I was heartbroken for her when she bombed nationals and couldn't appear in PyeongChang. But she showed everyone in Milan
-Hubbell/Donohue everything and finally claiming that World medal in record fashion : those scores, so deserved !
-Aljona/Bruno everything : Please don't leave.
-James/Cipres getting that MEDAL ! (and staying one more season !!)
-Carolina SP was breathtaking.
-The Dance event was spectacular, everyone was so good ! Got me surprised, but this is amazing, since it's my favourite discipline.
-The Crowd is one of the best, ever. It was predictable because Italian are so full all life, but seeing or more likely hearing them was heartwarming after the Olympic crowd which was a bit subdued.
1. Nathan Chen FS
2. Mirai Nagasu FS--judged too harshly and underscored.
3. Carolina Kostner-SP
4. Max Aaron's FS--low tech but well done to secure 3 spots
5. Satoko Miyahara FS--exquisite, even with the fall.
1) Anna and Luca's FD - I cried through most of the program and cried more once they were done.
2) Wakaba's FP
3) Aliona and Bruno's FP
4) Satoko's SP
5) Nathan smiling in his FP spread eagle
1. Savchenko/Massot's entire worlds, not often an incredible Olympic skate is followed by an even better worlds!
2. Kaetlyn Osmond's free skate and world title
3. Wakaba Higuchi. I haven't seen her skate before as I haven't watched in four years, and I think I have a new favourite Japanese lady. Looking forward to seeing more of her this coming quad.
4. James/Cipres. I've liked her since she skated with her previous partner. I think they bring some originality to the table and it's great to see them finally have this kind of success.
5.Deniss Vasiljevs! Like Higuchi above, I'm glad to have discovered a young talent that's engaging to watch and I can hopefully look forward to for years.
My favourite is, as it always is, watching with you guys. Thanks. Especially my fellow Pairs and Dance fans. Thanks for the sanity you show.
1. S/M FS. Just wonderful and I was very moved.
2. J/C FS. So wonderful to see them put it all together.
3. Misha Ge, Deniss and Tomono were my stand outs in the men.
4. The Free Dance. Really great skating lead by P/C doing what they do best. I also really enjoyed G/P, G/F, C/L, H/D, K/R and W/P
5. Kaetlyn and Wakaba. The rest of the ladies free was too sad to enjoy.
