SP: Music: Rhondo Capricciosa. 2 axel. 3 lutz-2 toe. 'tano 2 loop with both arms up. Great spinner and jumper. Back cross overs were very weak. But this kid's jumps are really impressive.

SP: Music: Zorro. Russian coaches and chor. 3 loop-2 toe.Landing of the loop was funky - may have been short of rotation.2 axel. He tried what looked like a layover camel, but seemed to lose the spin. Footwork was fast, but out of control and off pattern.
