Solid skate, though I think his Nebelhorn SP was cleaner/better performed

I LOVE JASON BROWN! What a great, great skater. And so proud of him for landing the Triple Axel (new jump for him) gorgeously! Also, I like it that the judges are rewarding his grade of execution. Beautiful performance!

Great skate from Jason! All jumps clean, though 3F/3T looked close. Great choreography. I'm a big fan but I do think he needs to make his skating "move out" more as a point of growth. Score is 83.78, TES 44.85, PCS 38.93. INTO FIRST! He looks happy and stunned. Well-deserved!!

what do you mean by "move out more"?

That lost combo is going to cost

Taka quad was saved and possibly two footed, gorgeous axel, stumbled out of triple lutz, so no combo. I like this music for him - he always struck me as a jazzy kind of skater. Score is 77.75, 38.15 TES 39.60 PCS. Into 3rd.

Holy crap, Kozuka's score is kind of low. He's behind Jason AND Adam.

He seems a little slow for me (could be a TV thing). In my view, he does all the Patrick Chan complicated moves and transitions but Patrick's speed and flow is superior.

But I know he's young and he has all the talent in the world to make this happen.
