- Triple-single-double sequence and he really struggles to hold on to the landing of the final jump
- Footwork sequence lacked variety
- Good triple-double combo
- Another good sit spin with good speed and positions
- Choreographic step sequence was ok
- Nice triple jump here
- Good camel position in his combination spin and he maintains speed throughout all of these position changes
- Solid double axel at the very end of the program
Anton Kovalevski, UKR
- Opening triple axel and he turns out of the landing and puts a hand down
- Triple-double with one arm over the head on his second jump
- Solid triple jump
- Triple jump with one arm variation
- Another good triple but not as solid of a landing
- Good sit spin positions and good speed
- I don't think his step sequence went with his music or his program at all
- Triple-double-double sequence
- Double jump
- Another nice low sit spin
- Weird screaming in his music prior to his choreographic step sequence which goes better with his music and fits the character of the program
- Double axel-double combo
- Combination spin and he ends slightly after his music
Nan Song, CHN
- Great triple axel-triple combo at the top of his program with great height and landings
- Good triple-double-double combo
- Fast spins but he could work on stretching his legs and getting lower into his positions
- Solid triple jump with not a lot of set up
- Opened up his next jump and only got a single off
- Loses a lost of speed in his second spin and almost slows to a stop
- Close to the boards on the landing of his triple axel and has to keep his leg in on the landing
- Great triple jump
- Nice step sequence but he could use more variety and better use of his whole body and really power through these steps
- Pops his next jump into a single
- Triple double combo
- I want him to really perform his choreographic step sequence here
- Flying entry into his camel spin with an ugly change of position but good speed through the rest of the combination and he finished after his music.

- Pops his triple axel into a double, two foots it and stumbles

- Nice triple jump with good flow out of it

- Into the choreographic step sequence and well put together with the music
- Good camel position and great changes of position in this combination spin and he really maintains his speed
Peter Liebers, GER
- Nice opening triple
- Turns out of the landing of his opening triple axel but tacks on the triple to make the combo
- Forward on the landing of his next triple but hangs on to it
- Into his step sequence and not a lot of use of his upper body here and everything looks very choppy and placed
- Nice low sit spin position and lots of speed
- Lots of chin holding poses masquerading for performance quality
- Falls on his second triple axel
- Triple double combination
- Low landing on his next triple but he hangs on to it
- Slow spins in his camel position and something seems awkward about how his body is placed
- Falls on his next triple attempt
- Lands a nice triple axel
- Choreographic step sequence hits some of the highlights in the music but doesn't really seem to go anywhere
- Final combination spin has almost no speed to it and he finishes after the music

- Nice opening triple
