From the perspective of someone who was there live, the highlights were:

1. Mr Junhwan Cha, who looks to be returning to full physical health, jump mechanics all first rate, etc, with an absolutely killer free skate. You can tell he is still working on developing the character, the expression, but I predict this will be utterly awesome come Worlds.

Also, his FS top is an astonishing work of couture. Not sure how it might read on TV but live, it’s stunning. As he came onto the ice my neighbor turned to me and said, now THAT is how you do a man’s figure skating costume.

2. The Taschlers’ RD—which does an excellent job of capturing the spirit of that era, IMHO—and FD, which is beautiful and very touchingly expresses the bond between them. We will not talk about how their RD was scored, suffice it to say that I disagree.

3. Mr Shun Sato, with his beautiful SP and his very gracious interaction with admiring fans after the victory ceremony.
