Of course he doesn't bear responsibility for everything going on right now ONLY his music choices which are 100% in his control. And I must say that is a tone-deaf choice is ever there was one

I confess that music selection did hit me negatively initially but I'm not going to write off Keegan or the enjoyment I get from his skating just for that. Since Keegan has dual citizenship I think he has a right to be proud of both countries and does not bear responsibility for everything going on right now.

He's looking to represent Canada at the Olympics. He can be proud of both countries the rest of the time, it doesn't have to go in his music. If he doesn't understand the way most Canadians feel about what's been happening, then he's not very in touch with the country he's representing. That's a problem for me, personally. YMMV

His technical content suggests to me that he is much less ready than he perhaps thought he was.

Keegan's LP is a bore and with a touch of cringe, which I guess is his aesthetic nowadays.

Anyways, I'm relieved Gogolev and Romsky have started the season strong.

Well, even if this comeback thing doesn’t work out the way he hopes, he certainly could skate this in Stars on Ice—would work just fine in that setting

I believe he did skate it at Stars - either this year or last year.

Canadian Press sports journalist Dan Rainbird's interview with Stephen Gogolev: Finally healthy, Canada's Stephen Gogolev finds 'new energy and love' for skating

Gogolev spent the last several years struggling just to stay on competitive ice, nowhere near the international podiums he had seemed destined. When his season was cut short for a second consecutive year in December, he wasn't sure he would return.

"I definitely had those thoughts," said Gogolev, now 20. "It was really frustrating ... I wasn't really sure whether these issues were going to keep continuing.

"It was more of a thing that, I was going to give it one last try … it was definitely harder to make that decision to keep skating."

It's a decision he doesn't regret.

Gogolev is finally pain-free, and it's showing. He topped the Nebelhorn Trophy podium on the Challenger Series in Oberstdorf, Germany, on Sept. 26 to capture his first senior gold medal.
