HOLY WOW. HOLY WOW. LADIES AND GENTLEMEN. THAT IS A SKATE. WOW. HOW DOES HE DO IT.
 
Solid skate by Chen! The jump landings weren’t quite the quality he’s capable of but the transitions into them are harder than before. I also think he seemed a bit tight and tentative in the first half and I would love to see the interpretation of that amazing step sequence brought to the rest of the program. He didn’t seem to have his usual speed either and I would have had the PCS around 45ish.

Zhou was just absolutely lovely to see... that quad lutz and salchow were a beaut and he has clearly worked on his speed, edges and projection. PCS was super high (maybe more around 43-44) but there’s so much improvement. He’s less awkward than I recall. Definitely a statement that he’s not about to give up the World bronze without a fight.

Brown as usual, incredible skating. Love this program. That walley entry into that flip was just perfect. And such spring in that lutz. A bit wild in the step sequence but that final pose. Stunning. Even though his program is far easier without a quad, he worked every point out of that. For a debut program it wasn’t bad and there were minor areas of improvement (PCS of 47ish would have been more appropriate, for me) but that was pure skating.
