Meryl Davis and Charlie White's "Die Fledermaus" by Strauss

How much do I love this program? Enough to have posted it three times in the last few months. Effervescent and joyous!!

I feel this is the superior program in the Davis/White vs. Virtue/Moir rivalry this season. This program is special. I am rooting for Meryl and Charlie at the upcoming World Championships in Nice, France and will be hoping that they will sparkle with this outstanding program in their repertoire!

Lynn Kriengkrairut & Logan Giulietti-Schmitt's "Walking in the Sand"

I love this dance team! They had one of the BEST freedances at Nationals this year, in my humble opinion. They finished fourth this year, which was one step up from last year, however I was really rooting for them to win the bronze. Their freedance "Walking in the Sand" is soulful, warm, and delightful. Just plain enjoyable and GOOD ice dancing!!

The first video is from this fall's NHK Trophy.



The second video is from the U.S. Nationals in January.

In Honor of Michelle Kwan's World F.S. Hall of Fame Election: "Taj Mahal" Freeskate

This is one of my favorite freeskates that Michelle Kwan ever did: the 1997 World Championships freeskate to "Taj Mahal." It is intricate, sensual, sophisticated, beautiful, and brilliant!! The music--and Michelle's skating--has tension, passion, and command beyond compare.

The interview package from ABC Sports that introduces this video also served as an inspiration for me in terms of tenacity, good attitude, and the heart of a champion while growing up and competing in sports myself.

This performance was remarkable considering the difficult season Michelle had had leading up to this point. This freeskate was a personal triumph!

Thank you Michelle for all the inspirational moments you've provided your fans through your magnificent skating and your sterling character!

Celebrating the Change of Seasons with Kristi Yamaguchi's "The Seasons"

Here Kristi skates a lovely program to music from the ballet "The Seasons." Kristi is always the epitome of elegance, class, and sophistication on the ice. I thought it would be fitting to post this program on the eve of the first day of Spring.

One of my favorites: Todd Eldredge's 1996 World Championship Win

Just adore this program. One of my all-time favorite skaters and performances.
