Hello everybody

Neither stream links work for me :(

Anyway, I'm looking forward for a great competition. Good luck to all the skaters.

A good start. His PCS must have averaged 7. Too bad about that quad. A smile would go a long way I think.

Adam under-rotated the quad lutz and hand down (good attempt though!). Saved a wonky axel and good triple flip triple toe. Nice aggressive program, and I think his spins are much improved - great speed and lovely layback near the end. Score is 80.26, 43.23 TES 37.03 PCS.

It is actually quite telling and fascinating to watch without Audio. Max's lack of grace, edge quality, and fluidity show up more when you don't have the music to distract you. and I consider myself a fan of Max's. Adam Rippon was GORGEOUS from start to finish. Very happy for him. A far superior skater to Max in everything but the jumps.

Adam just lit it up. He had the audience in the palm of his hand. Saved that axel.

Was that lutz only a triple? I thought I saw four rotations...
