The Short Program - Chopin
Alexei's SP performance was just superb. It deserved 5.9's across the board technically and should have been sprinkled with a few 6.0's for presentation. I didn't get a good look at his quad in Chopin at the Masters because we were on the opposite end of the rink where he landed it but the this one was right in front of us. I expected him to go for the combo with a double toe but was stunned when he landed a triple. He was so elated when he got done. It was great to see the fist pump again. I only regret that the audience didn't give him a much deserved standing ovation. If he had skated last instead of 2nd he might have.
