Love Oda's speed. Probably one of the most under-rated skater out there!

Except for the 2nd triple axel, very nice jumps (so smooth). He needs more expression, though

Wonderful skate from Oda. The only thing that might hurt him is not tacking on a 3T after that beautiful 3A and then stepped out of the second 3A, no combo.

He saved his quad with such deep knee bend.

YES!!!! HE WAS GREAT!!!!

He had only one error on the 3A, but didn't add any combinations (so he'll get a 3A+Seq with negative GOE, but doesn't lose an entire element). Finally.

I like this program for him. It's about as expressive as I've ever seen him. Does that 2nd 3A get zero points?

Good to see Oda back like that.

Thank you for the link so that I can follow the competition!

People wanted emotion from Chan. I think he delivers it with this program.

I really really like this Chan program. He's got the best feet in the business right now...too bad about the fall and the other bobbles. Fernandez can beat him on TES but likely not on PCS.

ETA: Is it my imagination or does Chan look thinner...not in a good way, as if he's lost some muscle?
