Jackie Wong - willful blindness in reporting underrotations

I watched his programs early in the season, and I just thought he’s too young for these programs, he’s not mature enough to - especially his long program. And I knew that Stéphane did it, and did it like how Stéphane - created it like he would have done it himself, and I’m thinking to myself, no-one can live up to that. You know, Stéphane is just at the limit for being able to do that, and it was like the next competition, he was doing it in a way that would certainly rival Stéphane’s ability - plus the technical level that Stéphane could never even get to. And he practices like a wild man, but in competition he is able to focus in to a degree that you’d never doubt his ability at any point.
