That was relatively consistent for Tomoki. Good job and thanks for the fun. Wow for those split jumps - more of those please.

 

[Arigato]

Not good.

 

[labgoat]

I like Yudong's shirt for this dynasties theme

 

[Lamente Ariane]

“Kai-oh-to”?! Chris you had at least two better options for pronouncing Kyoto than that, surely

 

[Rebecca Moose]

This is putting me to sleep

 

[Ichatdelune]

Oh dear, splat splat pop spin fail... hope he can rally next season

 

[labgoat]

When Yudong figures out how to check those enormous jumps, he will move up because he is a strong skater with a strong presence.

 

[Ichatdelune]

Vamos Donovan, please not a splatfest

 

[moonvine]

Vamos Donovan!

 

[labgoat]

Go Donovan!

 

[labgoat]

Yay a quad for Donovan!

 

[moonvine]

Uh he's trying them for the first time???

 

[Rebecca Moose]

I feel like Donovan's attempted quads before? Or am I drunk? Or Chris?

Drunk.

I also question this. I am SURE I’ve seen Donovan jump quads before. Not with a lot of success or positive GOE, but I’ve seen them—I don’t think I hallucinated it

 

[Arigato]

This 3-2-2, 3-4-9 stuff needs to go in programs.

 

[fia_nrt]

Donovan's smile is contagious

 

[Ichatdelune]

Camel spins Donovan, camel spins... well at least no splats, so I'll take this

 

[labgoat]

I respect the smart, hard work that Donovan has put in on those jumps. He has always had wonderful style and presentation and spins. Great experience to get those quad jumps in and to be able to learn to pace the rest of the program afterwards will make this skate very valuable. Always love to watch him. Looking forward to seeing him on his road to Worlds and the Olympics.

I'm afraid this choreography doesn't properly highlight Donovan's charisma and talent.
