Fair enough! Be encouraged to finish
etc., he had definite thoughts on who had "it". He basically said that "charisma" was one of the greatest gifts any person could have...
There's nothing like body language (rhythm) and so few skaters have it. I could name: Kwan, Stephane, Rohene, (maybe Rachael - I have to look seriously at her this year. also Brandon Overett who, imo, is the closest skater to a Premiere Danseur. Then there is Johnny and Adam. Great skating is not just about Quads. However, Jumps win competitions no matter how stiff the performance.(Sigh...) - I too hope that Rohene Ward has a great season. You said it great, Zanzibar - he moves like no one else, I could just watch him endlessly.
I understand why you have to succeed competively to make the big bucks in shows and the like, but it makes me sad in a case like Ward. I have noooooooooo idea what he would like to do, but I personally wish him to do well competively not just for the sake of comps, but for the shows and possible coaching/choreography jobs that might come out of it - he is just so, so talented. However, the two might be totally unrelated - and just as a fan, it would be awesome to see him on the elite competitive circuit.
