I'm not so sure. He's always had a bit of a hunched over skating style. It obviously works fine for him now, but once he loses a step or two he will be shadow of what we see today, imo. The question is will that be when he's 32, 36, or 38? He'll be fine for the first few years I'm assuming, but he won't be this good at all at 38, if not a lot sooner.
