Kwan knows what it is to lose control. The previous season was one of the hardest for her. She lost three major championships, including her national and world titles, in the space of two months.

In the long program, he attempted one of the hardest jumps, the quad Lutz. His landing was two-footed, but if the applause meter was any indication, he clearly won the testosterone title. Nevertheless, the judges ranked Eldredge higher, giving him his fifth National title. Both men will travel to Nagano. They will face Russia's Ilia Kulik, justly hailed...
