Figure skating 2014 - 2015 season

2014 - 2015 Figure skating season is already coming up ! Since this year's Sochi Olympics , several top skaters are not competing this season for a variety of reasons. We both miss Daisuke Takahashi 's skating in competitions. also it's something strange feeling Mao Asada is not in the competition this season, who had been always competing in seniors almost for 10 years. Also Brian Joubert .  He had been continuing to compete for a long time. I always love to watch veterans skating.  My favorite times are still from 2006 ( it's the year I started watching men's skating )  to 2008.  but I enjoyed to watch 2004 to 2005 seasons as well.  In any case, there is a fresh feeling  in the air this season's skating competition world. This season, my husband and I are looking forward to seeing the programs and performances of Jason Brown, Alexander Johnson, Samantha Cesario,  Polina Edmonds, Eelena Radionova, Katelyn Osmond , Kanako Murakami, Haruka Imai,

Especially, in Olympics seasons, all the countries put big scores for their best skaters to show how impressive their own country's skaters are.  All the countries want to win or get medals at Olympics. and it looks like scores are getting higher and higher every olympics since   the COP system. Maybe 10 years from now, the world record for short program score will be over 150 ?? , for  Long program will be over 200 ??  lol Actually, when we recently watched around 19

We've been enjoying watching Grand Prix Figure skating competitions every weekend !  Most of the time, my husband and I have same taste and often agree with each other while watching all the performances.  Here are my top favorite performances so far after watching all the grand prix competition.  Men  Jason Brown  Congratulations for winning a first senior grand prix medal in TEB competition !  I'm a huge fan of his skating now !  His short program and long program are my top favorite programs this season.    Jason Brown Short Program at TEB 2013 Jason Brown Free Program at TEB Both of them are awesome , fun, artistic, beautiful, exciting, wonderful musicality with excellent body moves and choreography.  At the age of only 18, he already has his original style, Jason skating style.  Skating which is full of personality is always interesting to watch.  The music is growing on me every time I watch his performance.   His Irish dance is fantasti
