Now the admin should delete this thread since another one was started as I was posting.

Fernandez fell on the quad, but that triple axel was amazing. Second spin was off.

ETA: replay says he doesn't fall, but the posterior was definitely close to the ice.

Javier Fernandez

Step-out of 4T, but should be all the way around (we'll see in the replay). Wonderful 3A. Fast upright spin. Eeked out the 3Lz+3T. Almost lost the sit spin... oh, Javier, work on your spins! A bit insecure on the edges on the footwork sequence.

TES 42.94
PCS 38.25
Total 80.19 (1.00 deduction)

**pitterpatter** · 12-07-2012, 10:54 AM

OKAY. missed two skaters, but i'm up. Can't get up for my 11AM class, but I can get up before 8AM for figure skating

**draqq** · 12-07-2012, 10:52 AM

Daisuke Takahashi

Good 4T (yay!). Not a great ride-out on the 3T, but completed 3Lz+3T. Okay speed on camel spin. Almost stumbled on 3A but finished off. Super awesome footwork sequence. Might lose a few levels on the spins. But great program and he should get near 90.

TCS 92.29 (Yahoo!)

**FSGMT** · 12-07-2012, 10:54 AM

Yes, it was a fantastic program and finally he did the quad!! But I still don't love this program... Yes, the score will be around 90 (or maybe a bit more)

**FSGMT** · 12-07-2012, 10:58 AM

Hmm... not a good program for Machida, the nerves have really played an important part, I think: we've never seen such a mistake in the 3A from Tatsuki this season!

I didn't see the stumble on the 3A - looked like he had good run-out to me. And wow about the clean quad and wow wow on the footwork. will be interesting to see the protocols.

He brought his free foot down VERY quickly and tripped a little bit, but it was minor.
