Favorite singles programs.

The most inspiring program, to me EVER EVER EVER was Stephane Lambiel's exhibition program at the 2006 Worlds, after he won the gold (which was an intense program, too). It was so breathtaking because he was himself out there, and completely let loose and showed his heart and most of all talent, which is the exact purpose of an exhibition. Plus, he wears JEANS.


Another program that amazed me was Yu Na Kim's long program in the Eric Bompard Trophee leg of the Grand Prix 06-07. She ousted favorite Kimmie Meissner for the gold. She was beautiful in it, and it still is unbeleivable to me that she is only 16 years old. She has such poise and grace, handling pressure so well and is, above all, extremely emotional for her age. Her skating is her expression, and she manages to bring us into her world. She is truly an exquisite skater.


And now, for a retro clip: Debi Thomas' 1987 Worlds long program. She recieved the silver medal. Her split-tripletoe-doubletoe is amazing, and I really like how she expresses herself on the ice. She has her own personal style and that really comes out in her performances.
