He was not only paying Nathan a compliment (which was funny, because it's kinda superficial, yet so true at the same time, because I would argue, that Nathan's curls really do enhance his performances, the same way a nice costume might do for other skaters), it was also a self-deprecating comment on the state of Kurt's own hair (and did he lose it rather early on as a young man?).
So... does the couple more years mean he'll keep skating after the '22 Olympics???Well technically he did not say he was working on it. It may be accomplished by someone else in a couple
more years
It probably just means it won’t be ready this season. He said “maybe” so I wouldn’t put too much weight into this. Plus there is a possibility that Beijing Olympics gets postponed.

I sense he's more becoming more noncommittal about retiring after the Olympics so I wouldn't be surprised if he continued competing at least for a few years. He's shown that he can combine school with skating and he had originally planned on going to Yale this season, which is insane when you think about it. Plus I have to think USFS will be doing their best to convince him to continue.

He took out two little things I happened to enjoy a lot!
At least I liked the little jump after his 4Lz, which worked better than what he did before.
Also, he either hasn't practiced his SP with a triple as his last jumping pass or he changed the entry steps into his step sequence, since he went into it too early/changed some things, which kinda lessened its impact.
If anyone wants a higher def version with a somewhat sharper picture, PM me.

Or maybe just 4F with the combo only in case he misses the 4Z3T.
Also noticed he missed the 3A because he added the spread eagle.
I didn't like the new choreo as much but it appears less rushed now.
I didn't think there were many changes to the choreo. He changed the few steps he does into his first jump, but he's actually been mixing those up each time so far, plus he uses a different set-up for his 4Lz anyway, compared to 4T.
He took out the little jump in-between the spins (which I loved) and he didn't do that little inverted choctaw (?) in his step sequence (which I also loved, he used to do one in his Nemesis StSq as well, and I always liked the look of it).
He also shortened the entry steps into his step sequence, missing 1-2 of those running steps (which might have been a spontaneous on-the-spot decision for all we know), which kinda ruined its timing for me. Yes it made the StSq appear less rushed, but that's what gave it that great intensity in the first place.
Honestly, my impression is, that he sometimes likes to wing it, at least certain parts of his programs.
Like in this SP, the part after his second spin always looks a bit different. Maybe he's rebelling against Shae's precise choreo. 
Yeah, looked like he used this opportunity to test it out. Curious to see if he will take it out again, or if he manages to stabilise it.
Personally I think it would make more sense to add the spreadeagle in front of one of his other jumping passes in the SP, most likely candidate would be the 4T, since this is what he's been doing in his FS for some time now.
