[quote:471d648984]Yagudin is taking his status quite seriously. Unlike his predecessors as Olympic champion, Alexei Urmanov and Ilia Kulik, who quickly disappeared from the competitive scene, Yagudin understands he is the leader of a highly skilled generation that appears ready to stretch the boundaries of the sport.

He talks about performing once-outlandish moves such as a quadruple axel or even a quad-quad combination. He wants to expand his musical horizons, perhaps incorporating hip-hop and other modern pieces, not using just classical themes.[/quote:471d648984]

Sounds like Yagudin has matured a lot this year - good for him! Glad to hear that he's being allowed back in COI too, although I'd love to see him in SOI. Maybe I'll have to make a trip up north...

Nice comments about Michelle too!
