Javier is a vastly superior skater to Candeloro in almost every way.
i agree with that... javier had to work very hard for that too... i didn't believe much in him at the beginning... skating wise he left me very cold, but he has improved a lot. I still do not believe he always deserves the huge scores he gets ...
I never liked Candeloro... i thought his programs were so empty and never thought he was attractive in the first place... so all his sexy tricks made me think about cheap acts... but back then, the field wasn't as deep and he did deliver when it counted so kudos to Philippe.
