God, it's wonderful to see the speed and flow that Todd maintains throughout this program...it allows the jumps to just SOAR. Yes,there a lot of back crossovers and the transitions and entries to jumps are simpler than what you might see under the COP but I would gladly trade a thousand labored step sequences,awkward,slow spin positions or frantic,point building, arm waving "choreography" for the pure edges and sense of glide Todd achieves here. To me this is the embodiment of the "freeskate".

I skated at the same rink with Todd. He broke the door off my sisters car one day, lol.

Todd OWNS the rink. He is my favorite ice skater of all time. Love to watch him skate. He is pure elegance on the ice.

My favorite Worlds to date, and my favorite performance of Todd's (and there are SO many that I love from his repertoire).

He had passion and intensity from start to finish :) One of the greatest long programs, male or female of all time!!!
