...has anyone besides Plushenko scored that high before? I think everyone's marks were a little high, but even so, we may have a new world champion.
I don't get this. 88 something without a quad?????
And a skater with a quad scores 4 points below.
Also, how are Jeff's and Evan's PC so similar? Jeff is art on ice, Evan is flailing arms on ice. lol
1. Daisuke Takahashi
3f-3t, 3a, 3lz - everything clean, amazing score without quad, amazing points for PCS - 88.57
I didn't see it, but his SP is the best for me this season
2. Evan Lysacek
4t-3t, 3a, 3l - everything clean (finally did the quad clean) - 84.04
3. Jeffrey Buttle
3f-3t, 3a, 3l (twofooted) - everything almost clean - 83.85
I can't wait to see it! It looks like amazing fight!!!

You are forgetting that the TES marks aren't just made with the jumps but include spins and footwork.
When you get to see the total break down, you'll see that Jeff's spins and footwork are at a higher level than Evan's which can make up for not doing a quad combo jump.
