[TontoK]

My current favorites? As of right this minute? I'll give it a shot:

Men (tie): Malinin because of his World's short, Brown because of his World's long
Women: Liu because of her World's short
Pairs: Vacant, although I am most interested in Efimova and Mitrofanov for next season to see where this goes
Dance: Vacant, although I am most interested in La/La for next season to see how they rebound

My "current favorites" change frequently. I'm fickle, and my goodwill must be re-earned every single time a skater takes the ice. The owe me, not the other way around.

To make my all-time favorites list, a skater must retire so I can evaluate the career as a whole - to make that list, you better be in the realm of Protopopov, Irina Rodnina, John Curry, Michelle Kwan, Torvill and Dean, etc.

[ladyjane]

I have many favourites, but:

Jason Brown (but many other candidates like Kevin Amoz, Dennis Vasiljevs and Junhwan Cha, not to mention other skaters who maybe score higher/less high but so enjoyable. The men's event as such has become my favourite!)
No woman (there are a few I like, but I don't really follow the discipline)
Minerva Fabienne Hase and Nikita Volodin (but I love watching so many pairs: Sara Conti and Niccholo Macii, the Anastasia's and their partners, Deanna and Max, etc. etc. Love Daria Danilova and Michel Tsiba too. Also a much beloved discipline).
Marjorie Lajoie and Zachary Lagha

 

[iluvtodd]

I can't limit it to just one! It's even hard to narrow it down to two!

Men - Jason Brown, Deniss V., Yuma K. Lukas Britchi, Andrew Torgashev, Matteo Rizzo, (French) Adam, Donovan Carillo
Women - Isabeau Levito, Kaori Sakamoto, Katia K. (Poland), Maddie Schizas, Bradie Tennell, Loena Hendrickx, Nina Pinzarone, Mone Chiba
Pairs - Deanna & Maxime, Ellie Kam & Danny O'Shea, Alisa & Misha, Minerva & Nikita, Conti & Macii, Miura &Kihara, Pereira & Michaud
Dance - Chock & Bates, Piper & Paul, Lilah & Lewis, Christina & Anthony, Allison & Saulius (heartbroken about their not making the cut for the free dance @ Worlds), Olivia & Tim, both Czech teams & the Finns!

the love for your children can't compare with the love for your jolie garçons

 

[TallyT]

Don't have any big favourites at the minute (which may change as several juniors move up), just a handful, mostly singles, that I like enough to download and keep. And actually... that's not a bad feeling.
