Re: 2003 MENS LONG PROGRAM OF THE YEAR
Evgeny's "St. Petersburg 300" was a great program all year, heads and shoulders above the rest. Yet, it just happened to not be performed to its highest level at the year's most important event. Takeshi's "Riverdance" didn't do anything for me. He's a wonderful skater and one of my favorites, but that's a piece of music I feel has been overused and he needs something unique or more powerful. Klimkin's freeskate was innovative and interesting, but I prefered his technical program.
