Season 2015-2016 is over. We saw joy of victory and tears of defeat, hardest comebacks and farewells to the sport, long ways to the top and unexpected breakthroughs at senior level. This season skaters showed extremely complicated technical content, interesting choreographic ideas and memorable performances. So in my new video there is something like nominations: the best comeback, breakthrough of the season, the best program and the best skater.
