Thanks for this VB.
I'm struggling with the way the Ref handled it.
In my, albeit limited, experience at the music and announcing end of the stand, we would have been looking to the Ref for a decision to stop the music as soon as he stopped, pulled up his pant and pantomimed pulling st his laces and looked for a signal.
In this case, I was wondering if the Ref wasn't concerned to be transparently fair and waited for him to skate over to the stand as indicated in the rule. But it didn't take him 40 seconds to get to the stand, and the music just kept going and wasn't returned to the correct point.
And some say Hanyu suffers unfair treatment competing in Canada. This Canadian skater certainly didn't fare any better.
