What I appreciate about his transitions, is that I 100% think quite a few of those being used properly in terms of phrasing. Not all of them, but quite a few of them, which I just don't expect from figure skating. Guy even did a forward spiral into a 3Lz here, most would just do a back spiral, so difficulty too.
Rather familiar music from Gershwin, I actually prefer this program to Yuna's. And yet another stunning entry into the 3Lz, and soooooo late in the program.
I think he's the male contemporary of Michelle during this time. It's great that the States produced such amazing overall skaters who competed during the same time.

Even with the tiny blips in his free skate at the 1981 World Championships, I personally thought he should have won that portion of the event over the likes of Hamilton, Bobrin, Santee, Igarashi and Orser. His musicality here is out of this world. (If there was any question about his technical ability, he could apparently land quad toes in practice. Just look at the first triple toe he hits in this routine at the forty second mark. It is gigantic!)
It always kills me how great he skated at the 2010 US National Championships, only to fall apart a month later at the Olympic Games. If Abbott had skated the same way in Vancouver that he did in Spokane, gold would surely have been his for the taking.

Doesn’t that apply to most of the medal contenders though? At the end of the day, usually only a handful of the medal contenders skate clean at the big events

Probably. But in this instance, commentator Sandra Bezic indicated in Spokane that if Jeremy skated like he did at the 2010 US National Championships at the Olympics, he would have been on the podium in Vancouver.
There's nothing remotely special about Lysacek's skating, and I'd give a huge PCS lead to Matt. Several parts of Johnny's program were also better than Lysacek's, but it's still quite bland, so wouldn't mind letting Lysacek have the lead in the free over him.

The only men's skater with a comparable record across Pairs and Singles to Ken Shelley was Rudy Galindo.
Ken never won a singles medal at Worlds, but he did win a singles bronze at the North American Championships, which did not exist in Rudy's time. Ken won more competitions.

Rudy never won a pairs medal at Worlds, except every type in Jr Worlds, which did not exist in Ken's time. Rudy introduced the 3F to pairs and did 3A-3T in singles.

Tim Dolensky 2015 SC. I don`t think he ever landed a quad and he was not the strongest competitor, but otherwise such a complete skater. I thought his head would fly off on the final headless scratch spin.

Ryan skated an SP to among other things, "Happy Birthday" variations, in the persona of a clown performing at a child's birthday party. It was really good at Skate America 2006 that season.
He has astounding speed and the height on his jumps is fantastic. I like the moves from that era of figure skating - delay axels, huge split jumps. You can hear the crowd reacting with awe.

Mentioned previously in this thread, Terry Kubicka would go on to be a veterinarian, now practicing in Concord, CA.
Another men's skater from that era who would go on to be a doctor was 2 time national silver medalist (1977 and 1979) Scott Cramer, who went on to be an chiropractic orthopedist, now based in Colorado Springs.
(also mentioned in the thread, John Misha Petkevich is also a PhD recipient, albeit in biology).
