I feel that Adam is better much better conditioned this season. I think he was more bold at SA but not that badly skated here.

Afternoon of a Faun is perfect for Adam's Botticelli good looks and skating style.

He always comes to life in that section. The Skating Lesson had a funny bit on this. But the first part of the program was so slow, and although he landed the jumps, he did so squeaking many of them out- and a few looked under-rotated.

Good for Oda on landing all jumps after 'tripling' first quad but that program made me want to go put the kettle on. Very bland choreography.

He was so expressive! So nice to see him skating his heart out in that section.

I love his spunk but the program is blah and then a bit cheesy at the end, but he does his best to bring it to life in that final section.

Yeah I like how light over the ice he is and how bouncy his movement is. He's a lovely skater who deserves more interesting choreography.

Congrats Oda for being able to hold it together after the first flubbed jump pass!

I would love to see him get a really inventive program to interpret. He has the skill to do so!
