- Triple toe + double axel sequence a little forward on the landing
- Triple salchow nicely timed with the music
- Nice extension in the arabesque spiral transition
- Good stretch through his sit spin but a little slow
- He seems to be a very lyrical skater and I fear this music is too heavy for his style
- Double flip
- Double axel
- Triple toe a little forward on the landing
- He has great lines and use of his arms but he doesn't use them to their fullest in developing transitions between his elements
- Tough fight on the landing of that double + double toe
- Nice flexibility through his catchfoot camel spin
- Slow through his footwork and not a lot of upper body changes in levels
- Double loop
- He finishes his final combo spin after the music
Chih-I Tsao, TPE: Total: 125.46
- Triple loop with a low landing but he hangs on
- Single lutz (popped open)
- Triple flip + double toe + single loop
- Not a lot of transition between these elements and lots of telegraphing between the jumps
- Nice speed through his combo spin but I'd like to see him point his toes in the sit spin
- Triple toe + double toe fall out
- Nice spread eagle into a very hesitant double flip
- Triple lutz fall out + double toe
- Not enough speed in the double axel and he he falls
- Another double axel and a step out
- Very slow and a big bobble on the flying sit spin
- He doesn't quite have the power or the expression to handle Requiem just yet and the intensity of the music is making his footwork seem slower than it likely is
- Music ends just as he enters his final camel spin
Jordan Dodds, AUS: 68.42 Total: 108.77
- Triple salchow + double salchow sequence
- Double axel + double toe with nice spring on the second jump
- Triple flip
- Decent positions in his spins but with such long legs I'd love to see him really use them and really stretch through his positions
- Double loop two footed landing and a fall
- I think he could have some really great arm variations in his transitions instead of largely having them out at shoulder height--he has a nice floating quality when he uses them
- Double loop
- Single salchow--very hesitant going into it
- Good speed through his combination spin
- Double flip a little tight but he lands it
- Single axel + double toe
- Music ends before he begins his final spin

- He's nailing these jumps but there isn't a lot of transitions and choreography
- Triple loop + double toe + double loop
- Not a great position in the broken leg camel but nice flexibility in the donut
- Some nice choreography into his double loop but he fell
- Double axel + double toe right on the music
- Double axel right on the music again
- He really has a lot going for him and I don't think this program really shows off all he can do choreography wise
- Nice energy through the step sequence
- Awful illusion spins but the rest of the spin is nice including a cool variation with his leg tucked over his head
- Wow he's got a lot of choreography left after his music ends...

- Triple salchow with a beautiful landing position
- Nice triple lutz
- Triple flip + double toe--he's really drilling these landings

- Hand down on the triple loop
- Really nice camel position with a great entry and speed in the donut and nice flexibility through the catch foot
- Nice double axel right on the music

- Spiral into a triple salchow

- Great spring on his triple salchow
- Popped his lutz and popped his 2nd jump

- He has great speed and good height on his jumps it just seems that he has too much power to control the landing and can't tack on the combos cleanly
