All
the scores are tallied, all the medals are presented. Time to relax and
unwind, time for the skaters to strut their stuff without the watchful eyes of
the judges. And did they ever strut!
Most
of the skaters chose light-hearted exhibition routines, making us laugh and clap
along to the music. Notable exceptions were Todd Eldredge -- he performed
a version of his free skate -- and Michelle Kwan, who did one of her usual slow
numbers. The gala ended with a bang -- literally -- when
fireworks started going off INSIDE the arena, up around the scoreboard! A
smashing conclusion to a simply fabulous week.
