1) Memorable Ex. for me is: Katarina Witt's '88 'Love Story'
From the opening pose of her tying her skate lace, to the 1/2 way mark when she bows & acknowleges the audience, then the moment when she picks up some of the ice caressing it & then as she skates off looking back longingly at the ice.
To me the program confirms Katarina's love for the sport of figure skating that she often expressed verbally.
I loved her for loving figure skating & then showing it in such a program.
Always makes me happy.
(My thanks & kudos to lissa81 who posted this on youtube).

2) I couldn't resist posting this performance from '99 Sk. Can. Ex. of Takeshi Honda.
To me this whole performance is 'uniquely' Takeshi.
I was there in the front row to see it live.
All his movements in this performance (dare I say it) makes me 'uniquely' horny everytime I see it.
My favorite performance of his.
And no I wasn't the one who gave him the 'unique' gift at the end.
But I sure wish I'd thought of it.

3) Fumie Suguri 2006 Skate Canada free program Victoria B.C.
Because I like her & her skating & this performance in particular.
Plus that's me giving her a little polar bear as a gift at the boards.
