Wahoo! Just sighted Jason Brown! Go USA!

[let`s talk]

The audience look terribly happy. Lol.

It's really going to come down to who can land the triple axel and not double out any jumps.

Go Tanaka

[mikiandorocks]

Tanaka landed all his jumps successfully. Not sure about the music choice... it's out of the ordinary to say the least.

Doubled on the axel will cost him... otherwise okay

Keiji Tanaka

Solid 3Lz+3T (on review, the lutz should get an edge call). Looks a bit too classy for a song called Afro Freak; he's flailing his arms a lot without much attention to placement. His edges could be smoother, but the spins were okay (slow at the end). No visible mistakes but only a 2A.

[let`s talk]

They are both very disappointed becuase of that doubled trixel.

Tanaka
61.74 and into 1st

[mikiandorocks]

Tanaka got 61.74pts

Ryuju Hino

Looked tilted with the 3A but landed it fine. Shaky 3Lz+3T but completed. Might not get some levels on the spins since they were slow. 3F had a strange entry, hopefully no edge deduction there. His leg line is often not straight and he needs to create stronger poses when he does them to the music. A solid program, though, with no major mistakes.
