What do you think is your favorite skater's best performance?

[SkateSkates]

Mao Asada: tie between 2007 GPF Long Program and 2008 World SP

Mirai Nagasu: 2010 Olympics LP

Laura Lepisto: 2010 Olympics LP

Miki Ando: 2009 and 2010 World LP

[Megi]

Evan's SP in Vancouver.

[kwanfan1818]

John Curry's "Don Quixote" in the 1976 Olympics.

[miki88]

Mao Asada's "Nocturne" (2006 Skate America) "Fantasie Impromptu" (2008 4CC)

Michelle Kwan's "Lyra Angelica" ('98 Nationals) "Salome" (1995 Worlds)

Chen Lu's "The Last Emperor" ('95 Worlds)

[michiruwater]

Sasha Cohen's SP "Malaguena" at 2004 Worlds. I think it's the best SP ever skated.

Her SPs at the 2002 and 2006 Olympics are a close 2nd and 3rd.

[screech]

Jeff Buttle - Ararat LP, 2008 Worlds. Though I almost said his (almost) flawless 2005 Canadians Naqoyqatsi, which, though it had a turn on his triple lutz, still 'gets to me' more than his winning LP at Worlds.

[oleada]

Mao: 2007 GPF or 2008 4CC. I'm also partial to the LP she did when she won JW. Also, her 2006 SKAM SP.

Nagasu: 2010 Olympics LP. 2008 Nationals SP.

Sasha: 2004 Worlds SP

Daisuke: This is a tough one. I can't really pick one.

[stevlin]

Jeffrey Buttle's "Ararat at 2008 Worlds" was superb. I'd love to see more well rounded programs like this in the future.

[genevieve]

I'd say Buttle's "Ararat" at '07 Canadians

Kwan's '98 Nats Lyra Angelica, and also '01 Worlds entire performance, QR/SP/LP
