I love OSP's and OD's when they're well choreographed and skated.

And this one is one of my favorite :
Delobel and Schoenfelder 2008,

Daisuke Takahashi's Cyberswan, Yuna Kim's Tango de Roxanne, Stephane Lambiel's William Tell. All of them managed to cross over well to be exhibition programs too.

I also loved P/B's Doctor Zhivago SD 2010/2011: www.youtube.com/watch?v=pxhcrd4oriE

2009 euros

Love the last spin.

The first one that came into my mind was this:
Mao Asada's "Clair de Lune" at 2009 World Team Trophy.

I remember one of the posters on this board (non-Japanese) wrote, " It was an honor for me to join the standing ovasion for Mao Asada." Here she succeeded in landing her first 3A-2T in SP, and everything is so beautiful.

About men's sp, for me the most impressive is Yagudin's "Winter".

a/p's 1998 (jive), 1999 (waltz), and 2002 (flamenco/tango) ODs

p/b's flamenco OD 2008

d/w bollywood SD

A big YES to both of those!

And this one is one of my favorite :
Delobel and Schoenfelder 2008,
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QNpwZOAIT3E

And this one!

And the Kerrs' Scottish OD as well, of course. (John Kerr's wearing of the kilt that season, of course, being much of the reason he won the PSOTY award )

I loved two OD tangos from the 1988 Olympics:

Klimova-Ponomarenko

Annenko-Sretenski

[Frau Muller]

Katarina Witt's Hungarian program at the '84 Olys. The brilliance of that program was underplayed by the US media, so fixated on Roz and Elaine (and Tiffany).

Carolina Kostner worlds sp 2007

[smarts1]

I can't believe no one has mentioned Lulu's Spring Breeze from 96 Worlds...

[eurodance2001]

Kwan's 1998 Rachmaninoff.. I don't think anyone has listed that one..

[Cheylana]

Matt Savoie 2006 US Nationals

Did you mean 2005 US Nationals? Matt fell in the short program at 2006 Nationals (but more than made up for it with his great freeskate! )

You could be right. I was so taken by Matt's LP that I may have forgotten his SP, and thought it was great (other than the fall, it was).

[Vash01]

Kwan's 1998 Rachmaninoff.. I don't think anyone has listed that one..

I knew I was forgetting something when I made the list in the OP. Definitely Kwan's Rach in 98- it could be my most favorite Kwan SP.

Michelle's Romanza
Sasha's Dark Eyes
Irina's Totentanz
Alexei's Winter
The Kerr's Scottish OD
Meryl & Charlie's Bollywood

Krylova & Ovsiannikov 1998 Jive O.D.

Heh. I know, Frau, I am a major fan of this program. After Chin's brilliant performance, Witt somehow got the judges to forget about it. Must have been that head flick during the step sequence. But what was up with all the ruffles? That costume was ghastly.
