1. One of the all time greatest sports moments

Incredible athlete - this is his Michael Phelps moment. Definitely one for the history books.

15. Really a rock star performance.

Incredible! So graceful and he does some interesting arm movements and I LOVE THE SUCCESSION music to top it off

The YouTube version is nice and its a few minutes longer and shows some slow motion moves, and little interview with him.

... and he is so cute....

8. That was incredible!

I especially loved his reaction at the end, when he laid down on the ice, overcome with the realization that he had performed that program perfectly! He was a joy to watch.

16. Historic skater.

He has managed to combine the technical and keep the aesthetic which has come under criticism (rightly so) in skating competitions.
As someone whose main sport was skating almost my whole life I feel so grateful to have seen someone like him in my lifetime.

17. Every part of that performance looked effortless.

18. I think he is 18 so

he has around a 4-5 year max window to continue possibly showing at a similar level. But his body will change during that time making what he does more difficult as well as the added wear and tear on his body. Right now he looks ok but it will hit him. It does all of them.
I hope he has a plan in place for what comes next.

19. That actually brought real tears to my eyes!

An incredible performance. I know little about the different moves, spins (see? nothing) but I know a well done performance and what perfection looks like. It is not unusual for something like this move me like that but this was outstanding. Thanks for posting this, I will be saving it to look at frequently for a while now.
