Thank you for responding Blades - I always enjoy reading your opinions. I too think that there was a lot of interesting choreography and meaningful footwork.
A funny thing to add about the spin criteria I was talking about, Ilia Klimkin actually did a camel spin in both directions and with change of edge on both feet (the only person to ever do all those things in a spin, as far as I know), but since he didn't have difficult variations or a backward entrance, it was still not enough for Level 4, LOL! Shows how the level calls aren't a completely accurate measurement of difficulty. There was actually a level criteria at the time that nobody utilized, "balance in regards to the amount of revolutions in each variation and on both feet", and I would give that to him, because he did very nearly the same amount of rotations and variation on each foot, but apparently the caller wasn't looking for it. This lovely spin is definitely more difficult than the lackluster catch-foot positions and such that people do to obtain their levels - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WVwI_501TUs&t=117
