Great 3F+3T, particularly smooth between jumps. Got out that 3A. Good 3Lz. Wonderful and exuberant spirit in interpreting the wild rhumba (apparently not a mambo, as stated earlier). I'm glad he skated clean here; he's had strange mistakes all season on this SP. I think his interpretation is stronger than Patrick's, but his jump run-outs and lack of a quad will land solidly in 2nd place. Possibly mid 80s.

SP: 80.25 (hmmm... might have been downgraded on something)

Wow...he's 15 points behind. And lower PCS still. Maybe some DGs?

Classy music and a classy interpretation.

Unfortunate fall on the 4T, but got all the way around. Good recovery for a clean 3A that almost slipped out from under him. A 3Lz+3T that was barely eeked out (might get downgraded on the 3T landing, but I don't think so). Like his personality and his wide-open stance to portray the classic style. (Is that sun from Plants vs. Zombies?)

SP: 75.94
