And there certainly have been some this year! Both Chinese pairs and everything Johnny Weir owns. ;)
I'm more of an avid watcher than an actual fan; I still can't tell a triple axle from a triple salcau. But I do love pairs skating the most. I can't watch the side-by-side spins any more after the accident that Canadian pair had a while back. *shudders*
OMG, the one Russian team, too. The swan ones? GAH! *hides*
I can, but I watch it for the moves and the music. If the music is crap, I'm not interested. Shen and Zhao's short program to Who Wants To Live Forever had me totally freaking out. Queen?!?! Queen at the Olympics?!?! They own me now. XD
Yesterday, I watched the Olympic Figure Skating Gala performance, and damn if the routine of Canadian ice dance gold medallists Tess Virtue and Scott Moir didn't make me think of Cutting Edge, Canadian style.
For your watching pleasure, here is a recording thereof from the Canadian Championships gala: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q3Ak7HZJ6J4
