John won the triple crown of European, Olympic and World titles with his final amateur competitive performance; another glorious performance of his Don Quixote LP. A small but vocal crowd cheered him on and finally a perfect 6.0 was awarded (albeit by the British judge). He was chronically undermarked for his whole career.
His skating in the LP was sublime, despite what he had been through in the days since Innsbruck with the press intrusion into his private life and the fact that he had barely practiced.
