A friend who was there last night sent me this mini-report (she wasn't sure about which triples Lam did):
"Vanessa did a triple ?/loop combo. Great double axel, held the landing. I think her solo jump was triple flip (or toe)? Very deep edging in her footwork sequence, very stretched Biellmann.
Caroline landed a triple loop and a triple flip/double toe. She did a gorgeous spread eagle into Ian Bauer into a double axel. Of course her spins were amazing, though she didn't do the Pearl."

Thanks, Jarrett!Both Lam and Zhang skated well. Lam's solo jump was a flip (I believe) and she did a triple lutz/double loop combo which was great. The video on my camera is not working for Lam. Zhang's SP is available at http://youtu.be/oyrV5uoN9GA
