This performance was bit uneven. Strong in the first half, and then a slight fall off in the quality of the skating in the second half.

Louis had no upper body control at all during those twizzles. I wonder if that's habitual with him. I don’t remember noticing it before, but it was jarring in an otherwise strong skate. They need to fix it pronto.

Very strong performance, and commitment to the character, and theme of the program.

I simply cannot get over how much and how fast both Charlie and Cayden have improved. Is Scott Moir an actual wizard??
