Well, The landing looked rotated to me, not sure maybe he made prerotation. He tends to do that sometimes.
He does prerotate most of the time. I think he did that today as well.

Evan got an edge call on the Flip - so he lost about 2 or 3 points there.

Bravo Evan! Loads of energy and expressions! He is so emotional! Looks like a truly World Chmpion!!!!
His command and overall look on the ice improved so much! Arms on footwork all work into the music, very good footwork. I don't think there were any UR.
Good 3A, 3Lz-3T, 3F. I'm a fan! He looks stunning!
80.80. Into the 3rd place. He looks surprized....me too. I thought he was the best.
It's starting to be a shame that the Russian men only got 2 spots at Europeans and the Olympics.
Last week I was quite sure that Borodulin might be best for the second spot. But now with this fantastic short by Voronov - Borodulin could never score that much in short program, especially with his edge issues on the Flip and Lutz.
I also want to take that Triple Axel from Voronov and put it on my wall. Just an incredible jump, even better than Plushenko's last week. A Triple Axel that reminded me of Yagudin, Urmanov and Petrenko. We always say not everything is about the jumps, but damn, sometimes it just is and such a Triple Axel can make my day.
Sergej should also consider skating pairs with Ando at some point, both got huge jumps - and their posture would make sure that they skate in sync.

I think the placement was totally right.. Oda was very good again, I also don't like the short very much but liked it more than TEB this time. He's showing great consistency.. Voronov was great with 4T+2T, it always adds excitment to see a good 4T. Evan, again, I didnt like it, take out the music put in anything you like, it will be the same affect. He's very mechanic to me.. And the costume is absolutely horrible.
I felt so utterly bad for Ponsero (the french guy). He has unbelievable speed, great programme, fantastic footwork and great spins. The guy has everything but consistency. The fall on the 4T at the beginning was horrible, how he got up from that I don't know. For me, he had the best programme of the day. What a shame about his overall turnout, yet again..
Good thing most of you are not judging or the poor guy would come in last at every event

Oh really? Rachael Flatt then should consider Stephane. There!Sergej should also consider skating pairs with Ando at some point, both got huge jumps - and their posture would make sure that they skate in sync.
First three were great! Loved Evan's SP, costume and all. He finally found music where all his arm waving is 100 percent in character.
Plushy arms could stay were they are, thank you. Evgeni cannot pull off feathers anyway.
