A moving scene of friends and rivals at Worlds: Yuzuru crying in Javier's arms, overwhelmed by a complex mix of emotions: happiness for Javier, the man who dethroned him, and regret for his own performance. Javier, the understanding "older brother," tenderly comforts him...

There is no question that Yuzuru and Javier have an advantage over Tatsuki in that the younger skaters have two types of quads (hopefully the 4S will be a stable jump for Yuzuru this coming season). I think however that Tatsuki's consistency (landed 21 quads last season) and artistry will keep...
