I never understood that reference to the Baron. What exactly in Rudy's performance has anything to do with the Baron???? He's just skating around to Swan Lake being artistic IMO. Every year growing up I either watched or danced in SL. I was surprised when Dick mentioned that reference because you'd think he'dy be thinking the same thing and just wouldn't bring that up...
Sorry, I'm confused what is this about? Why the Skate Canada reference? Makes no sense

The OP mentioned Laurent Tobel's performance at 1999 Skate Canada as an example of a performance that was crowd-pleasing even though it did not win a medal. The tie-in with Rudy Galindo was just that Galindo said on other occasions that he, too, skated for the audience.
