Shun Sato JPN
4Lz, 4T3T, 3A1Eu3S, 4T, 3A, 3F2T, 3Lo - THAT'S A CLEAN SKATE TO START!! Shun Sato delivering the best free skate he has maybe since he won JGPF in this same arena 3 years ago

Sena Miyake JPN
4S(hangs on), 3A(fall), 3Lz3T - the way he projects in this program is so magnificent; I saw him make eye contact with audience members even in between his jumping passes - total performer
