Skate America Men's Short Program

1st Warmup group is on the ice!

Group 1

Douglas Razzano, USA: 30.62 TES + 30.07 PCS = 60.69

• Skating to Piano Concerto #2 by Rachmaninov
• He has on an all black costume with some beadwork around the neckline--I'm not a fan of the black gloves as it cuts off his arm line
• Triple axel was a little wobbly on the landing but he hung on to it
• Popped into a double toe--he said he wasn't going to do quads here, but it looked like a quad attempt 
• Triple toe + triple toe combination
• Very nice flexibility through the catch foot position in his camel spin
• Footwork sequence is nicely timed with the music but seems a little slow in places throughout the middle--I love the use of his arms and upper body here
• Nice entry into his sit spin with not a lot of build up, very low position
• Good speed through the camel spin with a nice stretch through his leg, good change of positions but a little loss of centering

Daisuke Murakami, JPN: 39.91 TES + 30.76 PCS = 70.67 and into 1st place

• He is skating to The Feeling Begins and is wearing a red and black top with black pants
• Quad salchow-double toe combo to open the program, a little bit of an awkward entry but landed nicely
• Really high triple axel with an easy landing
• Solid solo triple flip
• The sit spin is really slow and he could use a lot more stretch through the free leg
• A nice stretched position in his camel spin and the upright spin, but he lost a lot of speed in the end
• This step sequence needs a lot more power behind it and it's not covering much ice
• Nice flying camel spin, with a beautiful arched position and good speed

Denis Ten, KAZ: 35.11 TES + 33.27 PCS -1.00 = 67.38 and into 2nd place

• Frank Carroll coaches both Murakami and Ten
• He is skating to Elegie by Rachmaninov in a white and black blousy top and black pants
• Very nice triple axel
• Triple toe+triple toe combination--a lot more speed in the second jump than the first
• His sit spin seemed a little slow
• Fell on the triple lutz
• Really interesting camel spin with an arch into a flying change of foot
• I love his long lines and the use of his arms; he has an arabesque that dancers would kill for
• His spins are all slow but the positions are nice
• He is really feeling the music through this step sequence and the performance is really coming alive

Armin Mahbanoozadeh, USA: 33.72 TES + 30.82 PCS = 64.54 and into 3rd place

• He is wearing a black top with red and gold accents and black pants
• Triple flip + triple toe was really easy and nicely landed but not a lot of height
• Way off in the air on his triple axel but he only has to put his hand down on the landing
• I wish he would get his leg a little higher in the camel spin, but the donut position is really nice and his hand during the spin is used nicely
• He really feels music well
• Nice solo triple lutz right into a spread eagle
• Really interesting sit spin variation with both of his feet together almost in a squat position
• His step sequence hits all the music accents and builds when the music builds
• This final combination spin is hte only one that seems to be lacking speed but finishes stronger
• Loving Priscilla Hill's giant feather earrings in the Kiss and Cry but I miss her matching scarves

Richard Dornbush, USA: 35.74 TES + 34.29 PCS = 70.03 and into 2nd place

• He is wearing a white poet shirt with a burgundy vest and black pants
• Very nice use of his arms to simulate conducting the symphony in the beginning
• Triple lutz + triple toe was nicely done but looked a little tight in the air
• Nice triple axel
• Good arm positions and variations in his camel spin with an interesting leg variation with his leg pulled in tightly to his body
• Great solo triple flip right on a music crescendo
• Nice low sit spin with great speed
• He's really going for the step sequence with a lot of power and speed and is covering the ice and using every part of his body to hit every accent in the music
• Nice wrapped arm position in the sit spin of his combination spin
• Great debut for Dornbush

Group 2

Florent Amodio, FRA: 27.32 TES + 35.14 PCS = 62.46 and into 5th place

• He is skating to Summertime and Jumping Jack
• He is wearing a pink halter vest with black pants completely covered in rhinestones
• Triple flip was solid but not a lot of height or ice coverage
• Nice triple axel
• Nice arch position in the camel spin, but I wish he didn't drop his upper body to get into the donut position
• Popped open his lutz really wild and won't get credit for the jump as it was not done in a combination
• Step sequence looks a little bit frantic but he's really using his upper body and arms and is playing to the judges
• Nice low sit spin but he could use more stretch through the free leg, loses all his speed through the end of the combination

Kevin van der Perren, BEL: 37.76 TES + 32.33 PCS = 70.09 and into 2nd place

• He is skating to Quidam which I think is the perfect choice for his style and power
• He opens with a nice big triple axel
• A little forward on the landing of his triple flip + triple toe with some hesitation
• Triple loop for his solo jump
• Nice flexibility through the triangle position in his combo spin but he has no speed once he gets to the camel
• Really running out of steam here in this camel spin
• He seems a little too stiff through his step sequence and with the big build in the music I think if he let go and really went for it, it would be a real crowd pleaser
• Final spin is rotating slower than the speed of his music

Samuel Contesti, ITA: 24.27 TES + 32.25 PCS -1.00 = 55.52 and into 8th place

• He is repeating his short program from last season where he portrays a conductor
• I wish he would have a little more setup with his character in the beginning
• Fell on his triple lutz--the feet just slid out from under him
• Big step out of the triple axel
• Doubled his final jump and no combination--he'll really get a ding in his score
• No speed in his sit spin
• This is such an iconic piece of music and I wish he'd sell this step sequence a little more and really play with it
• Nice camel spin position with a good change of foot but not a lot of speed
• Needs more stretch through his free leg in the sit portion of his final combo spin and he finishes just after the music

Michal Brezina, CZE: 42.05 TES + 37.03 PCS = 79.08 and into 1st place

• He is wearing a black outfit with rhinestone dragons
• He is repeating his Japanese themed short program from last season
• Very solid triple axel with a nice landing
• Triple flip +triple toe 
• Nice triple lutz
• The jumps were all nicely done but there wasn't a lot of transition between them 
• Really high entrance to his flying sit spin
• Nice position in his camel spin but he could use more speed and he has to dip down to catch the foot in the donut position
• I like how low he gets in some of these positions in his step sequence and he really uses his arms to get into the character of the program
• Good speed on his final combination spin and it's nicely timed with the music but he loses some momentum toward the end

Takahiko Kozuka, JPN: 34.33 TES + 37.36 PCS -1.00 = 70.69 and into 2nd place

• He is wearing red pants with a black top
• His legs got tied up underneath him on the quad toe and he two footed the landing--it looked like an odd entry to the jump as well
• Triple axel was huge but close to the boards and he put his hand down
• Nice height on the flying entry to his sit spin and he has a nice low position
• This program is a nice change of pace for him and shows off his ability to perform to the crowd and be a little more playful
• A little tight on the triple lutz+triple toe combo but he gets it done
• The camel spin positions are nice and I like how smoothly he exits it, but he could use more speed
• The step sequence is nice but I think he could bring more fire to it
• Final combination spin is full of nice positions with great extension and stretched legs

Skate America Mens Free Skate

Group 1

Viktor Pfeifer, AUT

• He will be performing a circus themed program
• Opening triple toe-triple toe is clean with a nice flow between the jumps
• Triple axel nice landing
• A little bobble on the ending of his third triple
• Triple-double combo good but a little slow
• Footwork seems a little simple but he did the majority of it on one foot--a little more stretch on his free leg would really help with his GOE
• Triple salchow-double toe with a little bit of a skid on the landing of the first jump
• Turned out of his next triple lutz but didn't put his free leg down
• Doubled his next jump
• Nice camel spin but a little slow, showing some good flexibility
• Double axel tilted in the air and he falls
• Awkward position in his combination spin and misses the end of the music for his ending pose

53.02 TES + 55.44 PCS -1.00 = 162.47 into 1st place

Shawn Sawyer, CAN

• Alice in Wonderland themed program
• I really love Sawyer's artistry and I hope he works on the jumps to back it up because he has some really great qualities
• Triple axel was slightly tilted in the air and he too footed the landing
• Triple flip-triple toe was nice
• Tilted on his next triple lutz but holds onto the landing
• Flying sit spin with some nice arm positions
• Gorgeous spiral that a lot of the women would kill for
• Great triple jump with almost no prep into it
• Doubled his flip and turned out of it but was able to tack on the triple loop
• Nice interaction with the judges
• I like that his whole body is engaged in the footwork sequences
• Nice triple out of his footwork sequence
• Great camel position but I prefer the traditional donut spins
• Hits the triple-double-double combo but with almost no speed at the end
• Hits his trademark Y spin
• Some jump problems but a pretty solid program for him
• I love that someone gave him a Mad Hatter hat and he totally played it up as he exited the ice 

63.10 TES + 66.58 PCS =129.68 new seasons best and into 1st place

Stephen Carriere, USA

• I'm not sure I would have picked this costume for West Side Story but we'll see where he goes with it, interesting choice of the bandages on the hands as well
• Nice axel to start the program
• Two foots his quad toe and takes a fall
• Step sequence he takes a bobble but there is a whole section where I'm not sure if he's actually falling or if that's the choreography
• Nice triple on the music change
• Camel spin with arms back  into a donut--could use a little more flexibility in his back
• Lands his next triple
• Double axel-triple toe combo is solid
• Double toe with one arm over the head and two arms over the head but weren't very well done
• Spins are very slow and almost came to a stop
• Triple salchow out of footwork
• Hand down on triple-triple combo with overhead arm variation again
• Last spin comes to a virtual stop
• Some real highlights in this program and a lot of so-so moments, maybe some stamina problems toward the end
• Priscilla Hill has different scarves to match each of her skaters costumes!

62.28 TES + 63.78 PCS -1.00 = 125.06 into 2nd place

Nan Song, CHN

• Yellow River Concerto and he's wearing a top with multiple shades of yellow
• Doubles his opening quad attempt
• Great height on his triple axel-triple toe but he nearly stops between he jumps
• Falls on his next jump
• Combination spin has some so-so positions which could be more stretched out
• Triple lutz-double toe good, but slow between jumps and he doesn't ride out the landing
• Tilted in the air on his triple axel and he turns out of it but he doesn't put the foot down
• He needs to really stretch his free leg during the footwork and add a little more speed and flow across the ice
• Fighting for the endings on all of his jumps but he's staying on his feet
• Camel spin into broken camel spin, needs more flexibility through the triangle spin
• Finished after his music

60.55 TES +58.34 PCS - 1.00 = 117.89 and into 3rd place

Kevin van der Perren, BEL

• Mummy soundtrack is his music and it looks like he has a wing on the back of his costume
• Nice quad toe with a little bit of a lean on his landing
• Triple axel with a lot of height
• Nice combination
• Sit spin was good, nice low postion but he lost a lot of speed
• Footwork seems a little slow and he's not getting his whole body involved in the movement
• Solid triple with great flow out of the landing
• A little bobble on the landing of his triple loop
• Doubled his toe and bobbled on some footwork out of it
• Lands a triple-double but fights for the second landing
• Slow on his second sit spin combination
• double axel-triple toe combo
• Really slow camel position in his combination spin

69.87 TES + 62.54 PCS = 132.41 into 1st place and new seasons best in total score

Adrian Schultheiss, SWE

• Romeo and Juliet--quite a departure from his free program last year where he was insane
• Huge opening quad toe
• Triple axel-double toe combination
• Another triple-double combo
• Some really awkward positions in his camel spin
• Singled his next jump
• Sword-fighting through his step sequence but its very slow and lacks the intensity one would see in a duel, this part of the music also sounds like its been dramatically slowed down
• Nice triple
• Good low position in the sit portion of his combination spin
• Pops his next jump
• Turns out of the landing of the triple flip
• Nice sit spin positions but he loses some speed when he changes feet
• I'm not sure this program suits Schulheiss very well and it doesn't seem like he has a lot of connection to the program or the audience, it looks like he's just going through the motions

60.21 TES + 64.28 PCS = 124.49 new seasons best and into 2nd place

Warm up group is on the ice.  Ten took a fall on a jump attempt.  Murakami takes a fall on a jump.  Oda lands a nice three jump combo.  Takahashi two foots a jump.  Mahbanoozadeh lands a nice jump.

Group 2

Denis Ten, KAZ

• Ten taking his time at the boards before heading out on the ice
• Fall on his opening triple axel
• Fall on his next jump--tilted air position and he couldn't correct
• Triple double combo and he turns out of the double and puts both hands down
• Some nice attack on this step sequence
• Takes a hard fall on his next jump and slides toward the boards and takes a second to get back up
• Lands a triple loop
• Hands down on his next jump
• Nice triple
• Takes a fall on a double axel out of a difficult entry
• Combination spin is a little slow
• Nice stretched out camel position
• Really going for it here in his choreographic step sequence but he takes a little bobble
• A tough program but I really admire how much he still put into the program and he still tried to put on a performance

54.69 TES + 61.92 PCS -5.00 111.61 = new seasons best and into 6th place

Daisuke Murakami, JPN

• Triple lutz-triple toe was solid with a lot of speed but his air position looks odd
• Triple axel-double toe
• Great camel position
• I don't like when skaters go to the board, stop and prep for their step section and announce it's coming
• Nice entertaining step section and he's really performing to the crowd and engaging them in his performance
• Great height and landing on his triple axel
• Lands another nice triple and he looks like he's having a ball on the ice
• Takes an awkward landing on his next jump and puts both of his hands on the ice
• Nice triple triple sequence
• Could be a little lower and more stretched out in his sit spin positions
• Interesting variation of a spin in the pike position at the end of his program
• Very energetic, entertaining and mostly clean skate for this young Japanese skater

68.83 TES + 68.16 PCS - 1.00 =135.99 into 1st place (personal best free and total score)

Armin Mahbanoozadeh, USA

• He is skating to Avatar soundtrack and wearing a blue costume
• Nice opening triple toe
• Great triple axel with a nice landing and flows right into the next movement
• Triple-double with one arm variation
• Another nice triple
• Some playful choreography through the step sequence and a really nice difficult sequence done on one foot
• He could work on performing some of these character moves a little more and making sure not just to execute the movement
• Triple axel double toe was nice
• Nice sit spin position
• Triple flip with a difficult entry
• Another interesting spin sequence
• Another clean triple
• Singles the first jump of his three jump combo but tacks on the double toe-double loop
• The smile has really come out for this step sequence
• Camel spin into a really nice donut spin and picking up speed into his sit spin and a nice fast scratch spin
• Fantastic program from Mahbanoozadeh!  I hope he can keep this up and continue to land clean programs. 
• Priscilla is now wearing her final scarf of the night.

73.62 TES + 69.94 PCS =143.56 and into 1st place (beats his old personal best by 20 points)

Adam Rippon, USA

• I love the way the fabric of his costume ripples when he skates
• Doubles his triple axel
• Nice triple with great flow out of it
• Fought for the ending of his Rippon Lutz but holds on
• Nice position on his flying sit spin
• Puts a hand down on his second triple axel
• I wonder if he'll be able to hold off Mahbanoozadeh with these errors on his jumps

57.94 TES + 72.24 PCS -1.00 = 129.18 and into 2nd place

Daisuke Takahashi, JPN

• Turns out of his opening jump
• A little forward on his triple axel but he holds on to the landing
• Solid triple for his next jump
• Nice spin position in his sit spin but he slows through the rest of the combination spin
• Great footwork sequence right in front of the judges and really performing and engaging his entire body
• Triple flip double toe he looks a little odd in the air but he hangs on
• Takes a hard fall on his next triple and lands on his side
• Layback spin variation
• Next triple is clean
• Great triple with very little set up
• Triple toe combo but he loses a lot of speed on the last jump
• Another great step work sequence for Takahashi
• He needs to straighten his bottom leg in the last spin sequence
• Another tough program in the mens competition but he didn't give up and gave the program everything he had

64.95 TES + 85.00 PCS -1.00 = 148.95 and into 1st place

Nobunari Oda, JPN

• Takahashi left the door open so Oda just has to go relatively clean to win gold
• Falls on his first jump attempt
• Low landing on his next triple but he hangs on
• Triple-triple, maybe two footed on the second jump
• Really interesting position in his sit spin and he gets very low in his traditional sit spin
• Nice triple axel
• Triple double combo
• Nice triple jump right on the music
• Triple salchow-double toe-double loop
• You shouldn't do the spread eagle jump unless you can hit the full position
• Really hitting all these jumps at the end of the program
• Nice position in his camel spin and good speed throughout the sequence
• That should be good enough to win
