If I remember it correctly, this program was choreographed by Phillip Mills.

From the diagram Yuzuru Hanyu demonstrates the best variety of transitions in the long program, along with many one footed skating transitions (three turns) as well using difficult turns (4 rockers and 2 counters). He uses the least quantity of crossovers, enough steps with good variety of different linking elements (2 Besties, 2 spread eagles, 2 Bauers, Pivot, loop and half axel). The variety of transitions is very good. Patrick Chan in his LP demonstrates enough quantity of one footed transitions (three turns), only 2 difficult ones (rocker and counter) small amount of crossovers. He is using all instruments of figure skating transitions (Besti, Spread eagle, 2 Lunges, Spiral, Waltz jump and 3 Hops ) the variety of transitions are very good.
If you look at the table you might have the impression that Javier Fernandez has more variety of linking elements compared to Yuzuru and Patrick in non listed element transitions as he has 9, but 7 of these elements are just Hops, Waltz and Walley, so that’s why it is not right to say that he has more variety than Yuzuru or Patrick. The quantity of crossovers and difficult one footed transition in Javier’s program are almost on the same level as Patrick, but Javier is using more two footed transitions in his steps, he also has other linking elements (2 Spread eagles, 2 Lunges and a Bauer). The variety of transitions are good.
The Variety of transitions in the programs of Adam Rippon and Mikhail Kolyada are approximately on the same level (higher than medium, close to good) enough quality of crossovers accompanied with 2 footed transitions (steps) and rare one footed transitions (three turns). Both skaters have enough quantity of other linking elements (Adam has more): Spiral, Spread eagle, Bauer and 4 Besti are used by Kolyada. Bauer, Lunge, 2 Spread eagles, Walley, loop and 4 hops are included in Adam’s LP.
Boyang and Shoma use more 2 footed transitions, mostly they use steps as the linking elements along with crossovers. If we compare the variety of their linking elements, it is very difficult to say which has better variety in their Long programs. In his program Boyang has a bit more crossovers, and Shoma has just a tiny bit more one footed transitions (12 by Shoma and 9 by Boyang). Both programs have enough variety in terms of linking elements: 2 Lunges, 2 Bauers, Pivot and a Spread eagle (short one) and 2 Hops for Boyang, Bauer, Spread eagle, 2 pivots, loop and hitch kick for Shoma. The variety in both programs is medium.
