I kinda want everyone to troll him next season by skating to rap.

He might retire on principle

I´m so nervous for this competition and I don´t even have a favorite fighting for the podium

The cap of TES is the physically possible. It is the highest pointed elements added up. The GOE extension has done the most damage in the last years in my opinion. Giving the judges more space in how to score TES is the least we need. I don't think a brilliantly executed triple jump should match a normal quad. But this is already possible nowadays. And yes, you see that the more freedom you give to the judges, the worse it gets because there is still the problem of them not distinguishing. It can only be solved by separate panels for judging TES and PC and by clearer instructions.

And well, I don't think that the three in the lead at the moment are boring in any way. And neither the competition itself. I think we should be thankful for so many skaters doing techinally challenging programs cleanly. Of course there could be more interesting and exciiting programs artistically, but one can't have everything.

Well, yes, there is that. I am not sure I'm explaining myself well. Remember when if you were in the final group you "controlled your own destiny?" I miss that.

He usually critisizes, when skaters skate to classical music. But if a skater skate to modern music, he often doesn´t like it as well.

Still sad that Michal Brezina missed the cut by one place

And Uncle By by 2.

I don't get Eurosport, so I don't know the interview people are talking about, but this is a piece the Oly Channel did on Donovan and everything he needed to surmount to get to the Olympics. Well worth the 10-15 minutes:

Figure skater Donovan Carrillo makes history at Beijing 2022

Watch now the story of Donovan Carrillo, first figure skater from Mexico to qualify for the Olympics in 30 years, to make his debut at Beijing 2022.

I wish they didn't have a cut-off just don't broadcast the first group on major networks but let them skate.

Why Mozalev a fall on the first jump? Don't give up and another ;(
