Favorite early 23/24 CS skating programs

[Frau Muller]

My favorite early 23/24 season Sr programs so far (both programs per skater(s)). What are yours? This is for programs, not execution:

Malinin
Fa
Broussard

Sakamoto
Levito
Repond. Also with My favorite costumes! They fit her perfectly: long bodice & ribbon-like arms. WOW!
Hilmer

Guignard/Fabbri

Stellato-Dudec/Deschamps
Hase/Volodin

 

[Sylvia]

Why limit to just "CS" (Challenger Series) competitions?

 

[Frau Muller]

Pre-Sr GPS. The main arena leading to Sr GPS and worlds.

 

[BlueRidge]

I've mostly only watched dance and that not comprehensively.

Ladies: Kaori & Isabeau

Dance I'm not getting any real favorites so far. (Favs not CS Bashinska & Beaumont FD, Neset & Markelov RD & FD)
But I liked Guignard and Fabbri FD
Am interested to see how Bratti & Somerville's FD develops
Love Lagouge & Caffa, but that's because I love them!

I’ve just watched the Lombardia men & happily added Yuma Kagiyama’s two programs to my list!

 

[AngieNikodinovLove (ANL)]

Sara and Niccolo. Both programs
hase And my husband. both programs
hocke and Kunkel SP

Ilia both programs

and we still have not seen Loena or Amber or Starr , and dance needs to grow on me for a little bit

…and Bradie Tennell at CS Budapest, in a couple of weeks.

I will add a couple more. Of course, Lucas, and his short program and free program, man that guy can do a bierllman like no other.

I have my first dance submission, Turk and vers. Their free dance, stunning in every way. I hope they are in the final flight at European so I can see Maurizio and Babs next to each other.

Sidenote, I think it’s time to get versLuis as a bonified PSOTY winner

I’ve just rewatched Ilia Malinin’s new programs & love the symphonic quality of the Spectre FP more than ever. Funny that it did not hit me so hard when I first heard/saw it. It stays on my list with two stars! So my list, adding Yuma from yesterday, is:

Men:
Malinin**
Fa
Broussard
Kagiyama

Women:
Sakamoto
Levito
Repond**…with my favorite Sr costumes
Hilmer

Dance:
Guignard/Fabbri**
Adding Tuurkila/Versluis…especially the FD

Pairs:
Stellato-Dudec/Deschamps
Hase/Voludin special light angelic quality that I like even more now, having watched a lot

In the coming weeks, I hope to add some US couples (Pairs/Dance)

 

[Cachoo]

I have watched so few events so far. But I like Carreira/Ponomarenko’s “Perfume” program.
Repond and Levito have been a pleasure to watch. And the Belgian skater Nina Pinzarrone has a bright future.
Ilia’s strong “Succession” progam is a winner and Adam Siao Him Fa’s free was sloppy but that will be one gorgeous program when it comes together for him.

After the Shanghai invitational, I’m adding:

Bradie Tennell to my Women’s list. Best from US, no doubt. Nessun Dorma FP magnificent!

Peng/Wang (China) to the absolute top of my Pairs list!!! Magic from their Sorcerer’s Apprentice (Dukas)!

Lopareva/Brissaud heightened, even better than at the CS Canada event. Absolute best 1980s RD I’ve seen & now I love their Rachmaninoff FD too.

 

[nuge]

Guinard Fabbri's RD and FD. FinsT/V FD.Lopareva Brissaud RD.

 

[AngieNikodinovLove (ANL)]

Also, really, really loving the short programs of

Ava Marie

and Starr

After CS Budapest, I’m adding Tomoki Hiwatashi (US) to my list…especially with the Finlandia FS! I also love his Romani Holiday SP, returning from last year.
