Aussie skaters have improved leaps and bounds in a very short time! Love Darian.

Checking protocols and Joseph Phan was the only guy getting full level 4 on steps and spins. Alexei, Roman and Yuto missed out only on the steps levels.

Edit:

According to the judges, the best spin of the day was Donovan CARRILLO's CCoSp, with almost unanimous 2 GOE (one judge gave it 0... but that judge was harsh on everyone).

Daniil Gleikhengauz is always smiling but this time he was not amused.

Ted Barton's interview with Alexei Krasnozhon:

He's learned that "Figure skating is not just the jumps, but what happens between the jumps" :agree::agree::agree:

I am very impressed with how much Alexei has improved his performance skills with the Cains; maybe training with Tim Dolensky, those spins will start improving too.

his main issue IMHO is that he is very heavy in steps/footwork... he is fun to watch but will have to work very hard to get a smoother approach which is needed in seniors... that 3f-3l combo though... wow!

Agreed about Alexei's SS; when I saw him in the Philly International Comp, I thought, darn it Alexei, leave some ice for the next guy. But what I like about Alexei is that he knows where he needs to improve. This from a January (I think) interview:
"I would also like to continue to improve my skating skills. They are a lot better than they were, but there is still a long way to go"

And what you should appreciate, when asked about which skaters he admires:
"I admire Patrick Chan for his amazing skating skills. He just flows across the ice and it looks so effortless." So now you can root for Alexei too

(PS The interview was done by Brooklee Han of Australia, who trains with Alexei, and it was quite detailed and good:

well I have never heard one skater saying they don't admire Patrick Chan's skating skills... those who skate know how special he is... but sure.. it's always nice when a younger skater mentions my boy I will be rooting for Jo though... cause he is smooth as silk but I am sure Alex will do very well and most likely will win this I was very impressed by his commitment to his performance.
