Let's put it this way. My dad (who dislikes skating quite a bit) still stopped to see what I was watching when he saw "that Harvard guy" would be on.
I think it's just a great Olympic story, how he accomplished so much at school and was able to squeak onto the Olympic team before he retired. He ended his career with a personal best competition at the Olympics with two of the best men's programs I've ever seen (in terms of choreography & music). He's one of the very few chill-inducing skaters I've seen. He was clearly thrilled with how he did, as opposed to the other men. I think that stuck in people's minds.
It is amusing how Viktor got away with that old recycled music, considering all the hubub from judges regarding S&P's recycled LP in 2002. It's not a deduction, it's all relative.
