I would definitely give Johnny the edge - cleaner axel, more centered jumps.
Johnny was a bit slow, but Evan was a bit wild and uncontrolled in his movements.
I am glad to hear that someone who was there felt that Evan was faster and had a better performance quality. In other words, that there was some fair justification for the result, since I was yelling a cussword at my TV last night. I would prefer that Johnny wins, but if he doesn't, I really want it to be fair and square, not because it's Evan's turn, or because the powers that be think Evan will be a nicer champion who "takes it seriously." That just makes me mad to hear that Evan said that. I really like him, too, but Johnny's smoothness, gorgeous line, plus the landing postion and run out on his jumps, have me very much rooting for him.
They are both terrific skaters. May the best skating (not the nicest, most PC guy) win.
