Notes white shirt with high collar / with red sparkly tie? not qute sure / taking his time into pos / some chor to fast soft piano - effective / 3f / 3a bit of weird 2ft - rotated / then I missed a spin / O ftwrk flows with jumps & kicks & with music with a bit of stiatto beat / 3z2t / music softens and some more chor / he's using his body & arms really well / 3z stumbled out / spiral 3turns spiral on same foot very effective / 2f bad pick into bad pick on toe / another spin that I didn't really see / 3l just hung on / diag ftwrk is fast / 3s / cam sit back cam sit headless with hands behind back / not the skate he wanted / I know that tech isn’t just the jumps, but I’m really surprised (and so were some off-duty judges sitting in front of me) that 3 of the judges had Keegan ahead of Michael on the tech mark.
