Music: Quixote by Magnus Fiennes Black catsuit with bit of sparkles
3a hung on for clean – first time I’ve ever seen him land it completely clean -- it wasn’t as pretty as it might have been but no deduction – on replay might have been a tiny bit cheated / 3f2t / strt ftwrk is goo fast & with music / ftwrk 3l big pause though / great deathdrop / sit ch sit sis fast centered & great pos / O goes well with music & lots of turns both ways but maybe a little too much on 2 feet / final combo spin is wonderful with great layback / what a great skate for him – don’t think I’ve ever seen him skate better – way to start the competition /

Tango Buenos Aires by C Garden Black with sparkly vest :& bright red shirt
3z think he got a bad pick – not near enough height & fell / 3f3t / flysit was good – low fast / O ftwrk is very tango-y / high 2a / sit ch sit is centered, good pos & speed / diag ftwrk is good – again tango feel / some chor into his combo spin includes donut to high catch foot / He kept up the performance all the way through / The cheat sheet says the lutz was supposed to be part of the combo and therefore I don’t think there was enough ftwrk into it.

3a high fell out then both hands down / 3z step out turn 3t / fly cam is ok / ftwrk big pause 2f / combo spin is very good with nice catch foot on the camel pos / lots of movement to muusic at end of boards setting up his strt ftwrk & the crowd loves it – ftwrk is quite good – I was typing & not watching it really closely / cam ch cam didn’t last really long but I wasn’t counting revs / O ftwrk was going really well & was good until he fell backwards onto his rear and couldn’t get up in time to finish it /
