The marks were announced and only flashed on the board for a few seconds, so it was difficult to double check what I heard, so there are probably some mistakes.
The following notes are what I saw while the skater was on the ice and have not been checked against the protocol for mistakes.
The official results & detailed skater's protocols are posted on the Skate Canada website
