One of the most impressive men's figure skating ever was by Daisuke Takahashi of Japan in the Men's Final Grand Prix 2011. He performed brilliantly - dancing on ice!
The music itself was not the ordinary classical but the blues (Blues for Klook). Takahashi captured the feel of the blues with smooth and expressive moves, high jumps and timely gestures beautifully. It's rare nowadays to watch figure skaters perform their numbers as though they are REALLY dancing, not just doing their routine of jumps, spins and footsteps.
Though he messed up the quad jump at the beginning, but for the rest of the program he made everyone in the audience feel the music through his skating. He was sensational! It's no wonder that he received a standing ovation for his great performance.
What an inspirational skater!
