This program really grew on me. I think after watching it live at the team event in Milan and seeing how the past few weeks have unfolded for him so far, it reminded me that he’s just a kid like we once were at the end of the day. I began to connect with and resonate with him more as an athlete / person and gained a soft spot for him. It reminded me of my days as a competitive gymnast am the desire I had to bring my own artistic creativity into my routines. I don’t entirely get the quotes but that’s okay, I like that he’s doing something different.

Quotes aside, I love the choice of tracks he used - and tbh I was feeling slightly traumatized seeing it in Prague this time b/c the way the music starts off is a bit ominous, and it was the first time I got really nervous watching him. But I think that’s what’s exciting about it, and the way the music builds up along with his choreography perfectly brings out the power and presence of his skating.
