Rogozine--number of mistakes. Looks pooped at end of program. Really needs to work on artistry, but he's still kind of young.

I'm not seeing a good match between Rippon and this program...at least not artistically. He's getting through it, workmanlike, but I'm not feeling it. 3A's still kind of scary.

Voronov--Weird choreography doesn't really work for the music, not a lot of anything going on between jump and spin elements. A few nice moments though.

What's with Adam's jump layout? Why not a 3-3 somewhere?

It's cause he doesn't have a quad. If he does a 3-3, then he would have to figure out what to do with one of the jumping passes. He's already doing a 2A for one of them.

Looking at these American men, suddenly I'm wondering what happened to Mroz? Is he done? Haven't seen him in the GP series.

But couldn't he take out one of the double toes in his axel combos and turn that into a triple toe somewhere? Lord knows he has the ability and he's not doing a triple tow anywhere else. Maybe he's trying to train to have the 3a/3toe by nationals or something.
