Black purple pants and light purple top.
3A-2T, 4T fall, 2Lz pop, 3Lip, 3Lp, 1Lz pop- -2or 3T, Ina Bauer, 3S,
3T.
Konstantin Kostin LAT
Black and white costume.
3A big :-), 3T, 3Lz slightly 2ft, 3S, 3F, 2F-2T, 2A, 3T-2T.
There was a funny moment as the judge from PRK gave him 5.1 and 1.1
!!! It took time to be corrected, but it was of course 5.1. I had never
seen such a low mark on a screen before ;-) .
Patrick Meier SWI
Black pants and grey-blue top. Piano music.
3A :-), 3F, 3Lz-2T, 3Lp, 3T fall (too much rotation), 3T, 2S, 1S (retry).
Great program, jumps were here !! Maybe tired at the end, but he had
the courage to retry both the T and the S. And still a very good choreography.
This guy just makes you want to take tons of pcitures !!
Szabolcs Vidrai HUN
Same program as last year (i like the music a lot).
3T (where the 4T is supposed to be), 2A, 1Lp big pop, the slow part
is really slow, 3A he comes back, 3Lz, 2F, 3F, 3S--3T--2T.
Great come back after popping the first jumps ! could be faster though...
Makoto Okazaki JPN
Brown costume.
3A fall, 3T, 3Lz, 3A fall, 1F, 3S, 3Lp, 3T-2T.
Ryan Jahnke USA
All in brown.
3A 2 big feet + a touch right after the landing, 3Lz picky -1T, 3F
2ft ?, 3S-3Lp half a turn done in the ice for the 3LP, 2A, 3T - - 3Lp.
Didn't change my mind since yesterday, i still think he has a very
great presentation and flair in his program, as well as excellent spins,
very well centered.
Group 2
Roman Serov RUS
Black pants, top is white and gold with patterns.
2Lp, 3A-3T, 2Lz, 3F, spread eagle to 3A t-out to spread eagle (in front
of judges), spread eagle to 3S, 3Lz fall - 2Lp.

Ugly costume, dark green pants, flesh and gold top. "The Mummy".
2T big pop, 1A, 3A, 3A-2T a bit picky, 2Lz, 2F, 3S - - 2Lp.
Jumps left him tonight... too bad as they are his strongest point.
5.4 in artistry is too much IMO.
Gabriel Monnier FRA
All in black, including black gloves, with only a vertical red line
in the front of his shirt and around his neck."Dracula".
3T, 3A, 3A fall, 1Lz, 3S, 3Lp fall, 3S step out - 2T.
Good interpretation of the music (4.8 is ridiculous), too bad no jumps...
Alexei Yagudin RUS
Great costume, black pants and gold/black/dark red top.
4T-3T, 3Lz, 3A-3T, 3F-1Lp (a la Plushenko ;-) ), 3A so easy, 3S, 3Lp.
The footwork at the end of his program is physicall very demanding.
WOW !!! Three times 6.0 in artistry is well deserved.
