So we've got two to go in the second group and here lying in 14th place it's a young man who's finished as high as seventh before at the world championships is of course Daniel Grasso. Music from Billy Elliot. five good just rushed at the looks that should have been a quad combination triple axel triple toe let's start with elementary lessons stretch point flex in front behind lift the leg eyes front turn out close you were born to react you were made to behave yeah great running edge coming out of that triple axel two double axels on the end changing things up a little bit triple loop triple toe last jump the triple looks well what a cut there was some real quality and some variable jumps he is prone to a little bit of under rotation here and there and there's a lot of the elements are going to be looked at again so the technical score that you saw as he finished the performance may well come down quite dramatically but you've got to take your hat off to him he kept pushing all the way through the program and he's worked so hard on his presentation because that has always been a bit of a bug bear for him and it's got so much better yeah he did great chris to recover he's gonna lose on that left that he popped and the missed quad sow somewhere between 15 and 20 points he would have got dependent on the goe so that is a pretty big loss for daniel today but here this was so beautiful he missed this in the short program really nicely done today cleaning the system great landing stretch here's that sow comes down downgraded and has quite a messy landing so he's only getting the value of the triple plus the negative grade of execution there the triple axel double axel double axel i liked this on music the music was picking up and it really made sense that he was doing that succession of three jumps i thought that was choreographically a really smart place to put that and it has a nice grade of execution as well daniel continues to work on his program components you're right it's not yet the quality for me that we see in dennis but continuing to work on that and everybody has different strengths and he knows that this is one area that he needs to continue to improve and i think he does yeah he certainly does yeah if you use dennis as your role model that's a good place to go set him as your sights wasn't he good i keep thinking about that oh it was amazing anyway so let's have a look 181 is his best score it's not gonna get close to that that quad lutz at the beginning and 161 84 it's second place and that will be second place overall in behind dennis vassilievs ahead of roman sadovsky
