I also liked Dmitry Aliev or Deniss Vasiljevs's programs.

Kolyada's SP, Miyahara's SP, Higuchi'LP.

And of course, anything skated by Kostner, Hanyu, Fernandez, Rippon, Papadakis&Cizeron, Savchenko&Massot... is a pleasure to watch !

[screech]

Anything Liam Firus does is a favourite of mine - his skating is just so smooth!! And he finally landed the 3A a few times this year, PLUS quads!

I thought Chan's FP was absolutely stunning this year. I'd love to see it without jumps.

Savchenko/Massot FP was stunning. I also loved Tarasova/Morozov's SP. I hope they stick to more classic skating next year, though I completely applaud them trying something outside the box (however disasterous)

I didn't like Moulin Rouge the first few times I saw it, but I rewatched Virtue/Moir's Olympics performance many times. I loved their individual event performance of it.

I also loved Papadakis/Cizeron's FP. I'm not generally a fan of them, but I found this program beautiful.

I also loved the Shibs SD. I love the music they went for and thought they performed it so well.

 

[Mad for Skating]

Some really great picks, guys!
I know it's not a popular one but I have to add Bobrova/Soloviev's FD. They may not have Virtue/Moir's technical precision, but they performed it with so much power and heart that I fell in love.
