The Chinese guy from yesterday - with the meltdown - did really well, landed everything, only popped one double to a single at the end of a combo. He just needs a bit more speed and conviction - but I love his softness and the natural arms.

Adrian Schultheiss hopefully gets his act together till worlds - he seems so much more tense than at Europeans. Schultheiss stepped out off three jumps or so, fell on his Quad, had a turnout on the Triple Axel... towards the end the jumps looked more secure though.

The Chinese guy, Chao YANG was super today. Nice jumps and great sitspins but I didn't see a camel. Did I miss it?

STROBYL (Czhec) bit on the slow side but in tune with the music. good posture on camels; good triples and so soft on the landings!
