At the end of last season, I expected this news because I knew he struggling to keep up technically. But, maybe because he delayed the announcement for a while... I started consider the possibility of him coming back. Upon this announcement, I'm both glad because I don't think his body could take much more... and sad because competition just won't be the same without him.
Hats off to this incredible man: a determined champion, a pioneer for his country, and to me, possibly the most artistic men's skater of all time.
