Eldredge's ill fortune made all the difference for Candeloro, who skated after him in Saturday's lineup to the theme from The Three Musketeers.

...Candeloro fancies himself a young Corleone. His approach to a program is freer-than-freestyle, and he is the most crowd-pleasing male skater to come along since Browning, radiating a cheeky sense of the ridiculous. At one point Candeloro's answering-machine tape told callers to leave a message because he might be with a beautiful young woman.
