Since keeping an eye on the program while in the bathroom (hey, work) was not ideal for enjoyment and later comments, aham, I just had a nice, proper watch while enjoying my tea.
I stay by my comment from yesterday that the man is just done, he's tired. I don't remember the last time he was so exhausted after a program and since stamina is not an issue, I do think he needs a nice rest now. Which granted, for him is probably light practice of 40 quads and working on new programs but hey. At least he'll be back in Toronto soon. Despite all of that this was glorious. The crowd was brilliant. That popped Sal is interesting, I'd have to slow that down but I think he botched the take off there, or it probably would have been fine (which is funny tbh). I have no words for the three quads in the second half; is the quad-loop- a first ever in competition? The bigger part of me is glad he didn't go for six because health (I don't think he popped the A due to stamina, I think it was concentration) but a tiny part of me almost wanted to see a last yolo quad simply because I would have laughed myself out of this universe. As it is, when I saw he remained first till the end, I only laughed myself out of the galaxy.
Tracy's words at the end were I think something he needed to hear; some things must be said out loud after all, so thank you indeed.
Reading some of what he said, he really has a wonderful, complex mind, that both helps and burdens sometimes, but he wouldn't be the absolutely beautiful 'monster' then I'm proud to be a fan of without it.
Whoever gave him the pink bow needs to be sent chocolates.
I am a fickle person so I am now ready for new programs while I say good bye to the glory that were LGC and H&L (and tomorrow the Swan, gorgeous that it is). You have served him well and we'll come back to you often. Say hi to Seimei and Chopin and all the others for us.
