Takahashi has extraordinary abilities on artistic expressions but to me, the article has grossly exaggerated Takahashi's performances.

The writer is expressing how he feels about Dai's skating, yes he is gushing but that is what fans sometimes do. I am curious to know if you inserted Patrick's name instead of Dai's in the article would you still think the article was grossly exaggerated. It is all in the eyes of the beholder.

I don't think it's exaggerating, because it's talking about a different quality from point-by-point evaluations, and it's using the language of art and soul. Besides, writing this enthusiastically about one skater doesn't signify a lack in any other skater. No comparison is implied. It's as if for this essay, Daisuke is the only skater in the world, which is how a good skater should come across while he (or she) is skating.
