Ninni reports: "I have few words from Johnny: He was happy after his program, he's happy to be back and he just enjoyed to skate. He forgot some things so he wasn't able to get the levels he wanted. But the most important thing was, he was very happy for his program. Tomorrow is a new day!"
She also notes: "Here are many people from Finnish Figure Skating Magazine who agreed with me that Johnny got too low scores. But he's #1 for us :')"

but he definitely felt the audience's biggest love
and got the most gifts and flowers."

Johnny's body language says that he is glad to be back. Thank you for getting back to fighting form and cat clawing your way back to the top of the heap!
Beautiful costume and music, plus incredible, expressive moves. Eclectic...combining what's edge modern but also classical and lyrical. A ton of Swarovski crystals playing catch with the light.
Johnny faced a tough, seasoned and battle-honed group out there. And in these tough economic times, all the skaters are extra hungry (in every sense of the word).
I wonder if Stephanie Handler had to attach all those jewels to the costume by hand.
Beautiful costume for a beautiful skater.
love the poker face - it's almost as if all his fans are with him on the ice. <3
good skate! yay, Johnny! and now that you've gotten past the first back-in-competition-skate, you can really fly!
so excited to see the long program!
