I said that earlier too - how do you FALL & still medal?
I guess they figure a failed quad should score more than multiple successful triples?
Whatever. I did think he was underscored a bit, but it seemed that he was thrilled - I think I heard it was a personal best score for him.
And I just looked it up - the exhibition skate is next Sat 2/27, not Fri.
