I remember that moment..! It was a few seconds after she touched the ice. You can see that at 3:35, if you look closely <3 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l30Ua6KTEfM
And I believe he also did that on the NHK trophy.. at 3:55 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Io32oTvT7F0
ISN'T HE JUST ADORABLE.
Gee, KinoriH, I think you're right! The angle of the camera was different on my recording. It's quite clear. But I see it too on your reference. it's so staggeringly passionate. Even my husband thinks they are "stars" -- a description I hadn't quite thought of. (He watches skating with me sometimes -- to please me because he knows I love it. But he quickly gets bored and walks out of the room.) And my sister (you see I'm blabbing about V/T to everyone who will listen...) considers Maxim a "heart-throb." She told me she too gasped when she saw him -- not so many male skaters are as good-looking as he is. Of course, she's right. I could also say, to use a slang word, he is a "hunk." In fact, if I were a casting agent, I would already have flown to Sochi to meet with him.
