Javier Fernandez ESP - triple toe (fall, completely slipped off the toe on the takeoff), quad salchow, triple axel, quad toe-double toe (nice!), triple lutz-double toe, triple loop, triple flip-half loop-triple salchow, triple salchow - great recovery from that fluke fall at the beginning - TES 85.15, PCS 83.92, FALL -1.00, FS SCORE 168.07, TOTAL SCORE 253.94
Patrick Chan CAN - quad toe-double toe, quad toe (hand down), triple lutz, triple axel (possibly underrotated, fall out, hand down), triple loop, triple lutz (fall out), triple flip-half loop-double salchow, double axel - TES 75.13, PCS 86.78, FALL -1.00, FS SCORE 160.91, TOTAL SCORE 243.43
Nobunari Oda JPN - quad toe (pulls it out, but could have been underrotated), triple axel, triple axel (fall out), triple lutz-triple toe, triple flip-double toe (bad pick off the flip but got it done), triple loop, triple salchow, triple flip (underrotated) - the music was a bit overpowering in the first section; I do like that he's experimenting, with success, with choreography - TES 78.48, PCS 77.72, FS SCORE 156.20, TOTAL SCORE 238.34
Denis Ten KAZ - quad toe (possibly underrotated, fall), quad toe (possibly underrotated, fall), triple axel (nice), triple lutz (squeaks it out), triple flip (step out), triple loop-double toe, double flip-double toe-double toe, triple toe (fall) - TES 58.74, PCS 72.70, FALLS -3.00, FS SCORE 128.44, TOTAL SCORE 203.70

Elladj Balde CAN - triple toe, triple flip, triple axel-single toe, triple loop (fall), double axel, triple lutz-double toe-double toe, triple lutz, triple salchow-double toe - the music actually grew on me, and I do like the risk he's taking with the selection, but the program construction, especially in the second half, needs to be there too - TES 61.56, PCS 65.92, FALL -1.00, FS SCORE 127.48, TOTAL SCORE 199.94
Artur Gachinski RUS - quad toe (a little celebratory mazurka out of that), quad toe-triple toe (nice!), triple axel (fall), triple axel (fall out), triple loop, single lutz (completely rushed the pick in), triple salchow (hangs on), double axel-double axel sequence (scratchy) - the program starts well but the second half almost feels like it wasn't choreographed - TES 63.40, PCS 67.44, FALL -1.00, FS SCORE 129.84, TOTAL SCORE 199.58
Ross Miner USA - double salchow, triple axel-double toe, triple axel (right on the music), triple lutz-triple toe, triple lutz-half loop-triple salchow, double loop, triple flip, spread eagle into double axel - well-trained, really powerful skating right to the end - TES 73.91, PCS 70.28, FS SCORE 144.19, TOTAL SCORE 213.60
Takahito Mura JPN - quad toe, triple lutz-triple toe, triple axel (beauty), single loop (really long tentative preparation into that one), triple axel-double toe, triple salchow (downgrade, fall), triple lutz, triple flip - he messes up the two easiest jumps in the program! - TES 72.00, PCS 66.64, FALL -1.00, FS SCORE 137.64, TOTAL SCORE 199.74
Liam Firus CAN - triple axel (two-foot, underrotated likely, fall), triple lutz, triple flip, double axel-double toe, triple loop, triple lutz(turn out)-single toe, double axel(foot down, turn out)-double toe, just a bit loose on the step sequence, triple salchow (fall out, hand down) - TES 49.51, PCS 60.66, FALL -1.00, FS SCORE 109.17, TOTAL SCORE 169.67
