BACKEND-TRIPLE COMBO COUNT: 4 attempted, 2 clean (Biryukova toe-toe, Leonova toe-toe)

Mao Asada JPN - Liebestraum - double axel, triple flip-double loop, triple lutz (two foot, hand down, downgraded), double axel (fall out, no combo), triple flip-double loop-double loop, double salchow, triple loop - hmm ... three clean triples, a few doubles, it's going to be close but Leonova might have this one - TES 55.76, PCS 63.20, FS SCORE 118.96, TOTAL SCORE 183.25

Alena Leonova RUS - Adagio for Strings/Requiem for a Dream - triple toe-triple toe, triple loop, triple lutz, triple flip, triple salchow-double toe-double loop (turn out), double flip-double toe, double axel (fall) - what a great start and then just looked labored at the end - TES 57.53, PCS 60.01, FALL -1.00, FS SCORE 116.54, TOTAL SCORE 180.45

Adelina Sotnikova RUS - Liebestraum - triple lutz-triple loop (edge on the lutz, fall out on the loop, looked underrotated), triple flip (nice), double axel-double toe, triple flip (fall), nice back spiral, triple salchow, triple loop, double axel (hangs on) - TES 56.34, PCS 56.62, FALL -1.00, FS SCORE 111.96, TOTAL SCORE 169.75

Sofia Biryukova RUS - Turandot - triple toe-triple toe (nice), triple lutz, triple loop (hangs on), triple loop-single toe, triple salchow, that back spiral wasn't all that great, double axel-double toe, spread eagle into double axel - nice skate from the young Russian - TES 55.50, PCS 54.27, FS SCORE 109.77, TOTAL SCORE 166.07

Kiira Korpi FIN - double toe (turn out, no combo), salchow (slipped off the edge and bailed out at 1 1/2), double axel-double toe, triple loop-double toe-double loop, double salchow-double toe, triple loop, double axel - a whole lot of doubles there, unfortunately, looks like everyone is having issues getting going with their jumps - TES 46.49, PCS 58.62, FS SCORE 105.11, TOTAL SCORE 160.92

Haruka Imai JPN - triple loop (turn out), triple lutz (bailed out at 2 1/2), triple toe-double toe, triple loop-double toe, triple salchow-double toe-double loop, triple salchow, double axel - TES 48.09, PCS 51.47, FS SCORE 99.56, TOTAL SCORE 154.76

Agnes Zawadzki USA - Rhapsody in Blue - double axel-triple toe (turn-out on axel, fall on toe), double flip, triple lutz (step out), triple lutz-double toe (two-foot on lutz?), triple salchow, triple toe (nice), triple salchow-double toe-double loop - fought through after the early mistakes - TES 45.19, PCS 51.38, FALL -1.00, FS SCORE 95.57, TOTAL SCORE 149.38

Rachael Flatt USA - Firebird - triple flip, triple salchow-double toe, triple loop, already better than she did at Skate Canada for sure, double axel-double toe-double loop, double salchow, triple loop-single toe, double axel - yes, a watered down program, no lutz, only one flip, but it was about being able to have a consistent skate and that's what she did - TES 44.69, PCS 49.58, FS SCORE 94.27, TOTAL SCORE 147.63

Amelie Lacoste CAN - Don't Cry For Me, Argentina - triple loop (nice), triple lutz-double loop, triple salchow-double loop, double flip, triple loop-double loop (turn out of second, was going for a three-jump combo), double axel (foot down), single salchow - decent skate for her except that last single sal, but I don't think I've see her hit this many jumps in a free skate in a long time (especially that lutz) - TES 46.98, PCS 50.87, FS SCORE 97.85, TOTAL SCORE 148.48

Christina Gao USA - triple flip (fall out, pretty much identical mistake as she had in the short), double axel, triple lutz (messy fall), issues with the camel in her combo spin, triple flip (fall), double loop (step out), single salchow, triple toe-double toe - just looks completely flustered out there, that second flip looked fine before the fall, let's hope she pulls herself together before Nationals - TES 36.24, PCS 43.89, FALLS -2.00, FS SCORE 78.13, TOTAL SCORE 117.77

Jeremy Abbott USA - quad toe (possibly a downgrade, fall), triple axel (beauty), triple flip (smooth), triple axel (fall), steps into triple lutz-double toe, double loop, triple salchow-double toe (turnout, was going for the three-jump), double axel - too many mistakes for the gold, and a bloody hand too - TES 64.10, PCS 83.441, FALLS -2.00, FS SCORE 145,54, TOTAL SCORE 229.08

Konstantin Menshov RUS - quad toe-double toe, quad toe (nice!), double lutz, triple axel (nice), triple salchow, double loop-single toe, triple toe-double toe-double toe, double axel-double toe - I caught myself saying, "Oh, there's more?" but not a bad skate for Menshov, especially with those two quads to open - TES 65.37, PCS 66.40, FS SCORE 131.77, TOTAL SCORE 192.68

LOL. Jeremy got the worst TES, the 8th actually among 9 skaters (only Mroz's TES was even worse). But. They gave him the highest PCS and now he is in GPF. God bless the PCS!

God bless "free evaluation" of judges


So, Hanyu won 1st place with 2 second places, as Abbot with two 3rd places ... quite weird
