Is it Aliev's farewell and that's why he's last?

Got behind... Liza and Mark both had amazing programs. I don't mind V/T bringing out their family (I can't believe they have been married ten years!) But their actual routine was pretty generic.

There was a draw ceremony.

I liked Matvei and Mark a lot.

Aliev maybe a podium but Mark is safe I think. Pretty good.

Anton regrets he didn't give Mark 10 points.

Bravo Mark. This guy surprises me all the time. Look at what he did at the jump tournament to save that event, then was the highlight of the show tournament which is the diametric opposite event.

I don't like the guy much but despite that I'm glad he won here.

Congrats and thanks to Mark and all participating skaters for an entertaining event.

I'm happy with that top 3. Top 3 was between Mark, Aliev, Tuktik, S/K. Mark was clear best. Then 3 had to go into 2.

That was fun. The only real terrible judging was for Shcherbakova (who was lowered by a lot by the audience). It's getting better.

He said during the first channel cup that he is gonna compete next season . But then he added if he can. It is known he has a knee injury all season Nothing was said during this competition being his last .

Dima might win the judges but not overall.

He won the audience voting

Is the draw for the starting order really at random? @AlexBreeze

No-one in the first group stood a chance. The second group was obviously arranged by strength but not so obvious that it was completely fixed.

It's by discipline.
