...this athlete is triumphant, truly unbeatable. He seemed to fly through the long program, set to the surging, romantic music of Tchaikovsky's Swan Lake. Dick Button, the unflappable ABC commentator, shouted, "Now that's guts." His less experienced microphone partner, Brian Boitano, was reduced to giggles of delight. Ken Shelley, the last man to win the nationals in both single and pairs competition (in 1972) said, "You see so few performances that will stay with you.
