There is an on piste and an off piste (not pissed off

) Milanoli...
All great performers have a confidence that can very easily become or be perceived as arrogance.
I think Milanoli comes across as arrogant on the piste but off the piste, he is funny, approachable and generally cool.
It can be very misleading to judge someone by the way they behave when in competition, especially when that is the only interaction/perception you have with them.
Having said that I think he must be horrible to fence against. Unfortunately, I have never had that privilege.
