No one is saying anyone is done. Only a skater can say that about himself. What I am trying to convey is that every skater reaches a prime position in figure skating and how long can he hold on to it. If we use the term peak, we will be talking about competitive prowess, and that's not what I am driving at.
Maybe, if i saix, a Skater who has skated his 'best', could he maintain that perfection for more than one showing? (Nothing to do with medals).
I've seen Takahashi at his best in 2007 Worlds and again in Worlds 2010, but he lost it in 2011. For that reason, I thought he is not skating his best. I am not trying to put him down - just thinking about the differences in the two Worlds. He may bounce back in 2012. We'll see, but I'll be looking only for the spark - not the medal.
