I watched the top men's SP's and the final flight of the Men's FS and quite enjoyed it. They have such talent in that country. In many ways I prefer Uno's performances because of his superior transitions. Hanyu is such a perfect technician though that it's nearly impossible to beat him. He makes it look EASY, totally perfect, good grief. Uno is a gorgeous individual...definitely movie-star good-looks, and I feel he has the best all-round program. Do others agree or do you have another opinion?
