Men's LP

[Medusa]

The Chinese guy from yesterday - with the meltdown - did really well, landed everything, only popped one double to a single at the end of a combo. He just needs a bit more speed and conviction - but I love his softness and the natural arms.

Adrian Schultheiss hopefully gets his act together till worlds - he seems so much more tense than at Europeans. Schultheiss stepped out off three jumps or so, fell on his Quad, had a turnout on the Triple Axel... towards the end the jumps looked more secure though.

The Chinese guy, Chao YANG was super today. Nice jumps and great sitspins but I didn't see a camel. Did I miss it?

STROBYL (Czhec) bit on the slow side but in tune with the music. good posture on camels; good triples and so soft on the landings!

Much ado about the last ten seconds of Javier Fernandez's program! :chorus:

Yeah... it took them forever to start his music. But he rulez!

Sasaki became the highest PCS! Very questionable. Reynolds was here much better.

[kittyjake5]

Anyone know if Kevin Reynolds did a quad. I noticed his TES score is 74.09. Wow!! Low PC's though.
