Nam is first up, almost a completely clean run-through. 4S slightly UR 3A a bit eked out but everything landed. After that, he did a clean 4S.
Han Yan also looking pretty good. 6 tries on the 3A and 4 were clean. Only one real 'miss' in that area.
Hair is looking stylish too.
Kovtun is planning 5 quads total in his short and free. He landed 4T twice. He popped his 4S a few times but also landed a few.
he landed a 4S-3T beautifully.
Hanyu is amazing. He has an atmosphere. 4T and 4T-2T successful. 4T is very stable. 6 4S tries rotated but fall or hand down on landing. Performance looking good, I can tell he really likes the music. I'm looking forward to it.

Thanks for the link! I read the tweets and just a couple things- Nam ur and fell on his 4S and popped his 3A in his run through. Tanaka is having trouble with his 4S. Hanyu attempted 6 4S and either fell (rotated) or touched his hand on half of them (the others were implied to be fine).
Choreo of Hanyu program looks amazing, so I hope he atleast stays on his feet on 4S if things didn't go right on it
TV Asahi reports
Hanyu tried the 4S six times, three of them were hand down or rotated falls
so he landed three times successfully? That's not bad.
Propably everyone will hold a long breath when he will be going for 4S in LP including Mr Orser
