About the program
Kevin Aymoz set his free skate to Arvo Pärt's "Spiegel im Spiegel" and Karl Hugo's "Miroir", and his ISU bio lists him as his own choreographer. It's a slow program built on long, sustained inside edges, and fans liked that it skips cartwheels and staccato tricks.
It debuted at Budapest Trophy in October, where a mix-up left one spin invalid.
At Skate Canada he made errors on the quad toe and triple Axel, yet scored 168.17 and won the title with 258.43. Fans loved the starry-night costume. They were angry at a US broadcast commentator who said, while he was still skating, that gold medals need technical content.
