The audience was very
receptive, and most everyone put out a good performance with few mistakes. On Todd's program. Absolutely mesmerizing performance. When I first saw 13th Warrior on television, I wasn't all too impressed with it. I am now a huge fan of it. I literally could not breathe during that performance. His speed and edge control is incredible, especially the speed into the 3 Axel. I am hoping that I may be lucky enough to see it live again. It is absolutely incredible. | Elvis Stojko (CAN) | | | AUS | CAN | RUS | ITA | USA | | Required Elements | 5.8 | 5.8 | 5.8 | 5.8 | 5.8 | | Presentation | 5.8 | 5.8 | 5.8 | 5.8 | 5.8 | | Total | 11.6 | 11.6 | 11.6 | 11.6 | 11.6 | | Placement | 1 | 1 | 1 | 1 | 1 | | Music | Kodo Drums | | Costume | | | Notes | 3 Axel, 4 Toe, 3 Toe, flying camel, straight-line footwork, 2 Axel, camel/sit/backsit/back scratch spin.
