They really helped me,” Paradis said of the enthusiastic audience.The mishap aside, Paradis was overjoyed with his performance. “I’m really happy and really proud,” he said. “We’ve worked really hard, me and my coaches, so I am really happy. But, I never thought I would be on the podium today.”

I am so pleased....getting the chance to see him again!

Anthony's SP and FP are on YouTube (yes the comps are archived by Skate Canada, but here his programs have been saved separately)

I had not listened to the English commentary for the Free before, where Ted compares Anthony to Toller "Different, himself, authentic"

 

[CrazyKittenLady]

I discovered Anthony at JGP this season. So happy that he's finally got his own fanfest. He is such a special skater, or, as someone in the youtube comments put it, his artistry is insane!

Here are his programs from JGP Osaka:

The passion is evident no question and a joy to watch but his focus and discipline anchors everything. So thrilled for his achievement.. I miss the blond hair but really like his natural color a lot! Best of everything going forward!

This song is called

Les cactus

here are the lyrics
The whole world is a cactus
Le monde entier est un cactus

It's impossible to sit down
Il est impossible de s'asseoir

In life, there are only cacti
Dans la vie, il y a qu'des cactus

Me, I pride myself on knowing it
Moi, je me pique de le savoir

AIE Aie Aie
Aïe, aïe, aïe

Ouch
Ouille

In their hearts there are cacti
Dans leurs cœurs, il y a des cactus

In their wallets there are cacti
Dans leurs portefeuilles, il y a des cactus

Under their feet there are cacti
Sous leurs pieds, il y a des cactus

In their vests, there are cacti
Dans leurs gilets, il y a des cactus

AIE Aie Aie
Aïe, aïe, aïe

To defend myself from their cacti
Pour me défendre de leurs cactus

In turn, I put cacti
À mon tour, j'ai mis des cactus

In my bed, I put cacti
Dans mon lit, j'ai mis des cactus

In my underwear, I put cacti
Dans mon slip, j'ai mis des cactus

AIE Aie Aie
Aïe, aïe, aïe

Ouch
Ouille

AIE Aie Aie
Aïe, aïe, aïe

In their smiles, there are cacti
Dans leurs sourires, il y a des cactus

In their bellies there are cacti
Dans leurs ventres, il y a des cactus

In their hellos there are cacti
Dans leurs bonjours, il y a des cactus

In their cacti, there are cacti
Dans leurs cactus, il y a des cactus

AIE Aie Aie
Aïe, aïe, aïe

The whole world is a cactus
Le monde entier est un cactus

It's impossible to sit down
Il est impossible de s'asseoir

HAHA no i don't think that's where it comes from... but i thought it was funny to show @elektra blue that Anthony probably started the whole thing before her LOL including with a cactus shirt LOL

I think that's his natural hair colour but I wouldn't bet on it LOL I think it will be changing with the programs from year to year

In my book this has catapulted Anthony straight into the realm of figure skating legends!

He also has a proper sense of humour. Current insta story:

"Bought 2 more pairs of laces.... should be good for two more competitions."

This could be funnier if he indeed got two more events.... Will skate Canada him to a pre jwc warm up event

Maybe it's indeed a subtle hint to Skate Can?
