Yu & Jin did everything for positive GOE
Davankova Deputat had trouble with a back inside death spiral
Tarasova and Morosov had trouble with the triple toe throw and a slight problem with the sbs double axel
Aaron & Settlage severely underrotated the sbs double axels and only did a double toe throw.
Hancherow & Killing fell on the double axel and got low GOE on their step sequence and death spiral
Budd & Cheban fell on the double axel and got low GOE on the pair spin, the lift, and only got level 1 with low GOE on the death spiral.

Some very big scores in this competition, the top 3 are well clear at this point. A lovely performance from the Chinese, very secure and confident. A strong programme from D/D, full of attack, hopefully they will put in a better free skate than theri last comp. What was wrong with the bids? The GOE ranges from -3 to +2, it looked ok to me. I am a big fan of T/M but are rightly third after the short.
