With Oda's popped jump I thought he might be second but
the rest of his program was first class.

Evan and Oda were the highlights for me. They were wonderful.

Oda must have skated very well to win with no quad and only one 3A.

I loved his program when I saw it at TEB.

Great competition and crowd so far; well done all!
Oddly, I thought the crowd seemed rather quiet yesterday. Maybe I was just too sleepy but the crowd was really supportive today!

YAYE FOR ODA! Love love love his Charlie Chaplin programme, he's soo cute.

A bit meh about Lysacek's Scherezade (sorry Yu Na does it better imo) ... why did he get better choreography marks than Oda?

Maybe some of the more experienced fans could enlighten me on this?

Evan got a 3F<+2T+2Lo<

I haven't seen Lysacek's LP yet. But could it be because of less stops & posing?

Protocols up: Downgraded on the Triple Flip and the Double Loop for Lysacek.

Interesting, so Oda and Lysacek both had 7 Triples, but Lysacek 2 Triple Axels - and he still didn't make it.

Oda is the man; His PCS are now starting to match the top skaters; I think a clean oda will definitly medal at the olympics but gold is not certain; wow he almmost broke 240 again; Evan is solid look promising great for not peaking to early; Voronov could have taken 2nd with a clean skate im proud of him; his pcs went up to; I 've notice a technical clean short or prior international competintion seems to boost your pcs three to five points. Solid for contesti; first gp in while and strong showing for the chinese men in a long time;

OT, but congrats to Akiko! I will check out her LP later today.

Hmm I don't know. Just me I guess. And his costume certainly doesn't do him any favours.

And only -0.18 on the GOE with two URs in the combination? Wow. I get the feeling Evan is getting some help from the judges based on last season; I wonder how long that will last.

That's the new rule, so I wouldn't start any conspiracy stories yet.

I can't believe Ponsero risked another Quad Toe, but he actually landed it.

Well oda jumps are a lot better than evans ; higher ; lighter; and cleaner with more flow ; his goe would have to be better or it would be a crime

Unfortunately it will last until there is a new WC. Same for Plush - he will get favors until there is a new OC.
