The men are out on the ice for the warmup!

What is Tomas Verner wearing? I thought it was a glorified tracksuit at first sight....

Daisuke has also changed his LP costume, it now has less pink


The Chinese flower children (or w/e they;re called) are soooo adorable.

Nobu hit a triple axel-triple toe in the warm up. People went nuts.

Why are the scores for Florent taking so long?

Tomas is up! Big cheer (I love how popular he seems, so randomly here in China)

3Lo
ClST could use more flow

3S
3-something, feed buffered

I'm sure Daisuke wil be better by nationals, last season he had a disastrous GPF too.

Patrick Chan, CAN

4T - v. good!
3A-2T
3Lz
PChan's bringing it
3A - both hands down, but probably won't be counted as a fall
3Lz-2T - bad runout on the landing of the 3Lz
3F-2T - scruffy landing on the 2T
3Lo
2A
God I hate this music

Well, that was pretty good. Knowing Oda and the judges, PChan's probably got this one in the bag.

Oh well. At least Patrick didn't fall.

Nobunari Oda, JPN
(Please don't add any extra combos)

Fall on the 4T and the 2A (?!?!?!)
Yeah, Chan's definitely bagged this one

Awww, Oda looks so disappointed
