That was pretty impressive stuff !

Overall, I can only echo what Kristina and others have been saying for a long time - no other figure skater takes the time and effort to respond to his fans the way JWe does. At risk of over-quoting ..."This is a special guy" :)

He's quite exceptional, not only in his skating, but in his writing both in his journals and here in this Q&A.

It's fascinating that he has chosen a 'Middle-Eastern' theme for his next program, especially for his long program - a Persian/Iranian piece. LOL ! George Dubbya is gunna love that !

Of course the downside, which is my sacred duty (as unofficial protector of unnamed and unmentionable thingies) to look for, is that he had a $30,000 jacket (What TF could that sort of beast be ??!!) flown in specially for some poncey photo-shoot.

<sigh>

Still, I love his contrariness. Even in his jumps :)
