Some issues with sharpness, and cleanliness of Jarvis' elements. His rotation position isn't quite tight in the air, and his feet are side-by-side so he doesn't always get over the right side to land well.

108.52 = 8th Place
157.78 = 9th Place

Fedir's planned content was pretty what he attempted, and so always intended to repeat 3 jumps. Not sure about that strategy. I do enjoy his open skating posture.

108.57 = 7th Place

That didn't go well - just couldn't his skates under him to land the jumps after the opening combination.

Just a bunch of messy elements that overshadow some of the good stuff that he did.

Some nice jump elements, and an enjoyable performance as well. Needs to sharpen up the spins to get the levels, and increase the GOE.

Good to get those big items out, and too bad about the quadruple combination because it was right there to be landed.
