The race did not meet the expectations before the most anticipated and the names were the authors of some step-load too much, especially on quadruple jumps.

The twenty-three son'' s art has scored the highest technical score of the day being able to land safely quadruple toe loop jump but was not preceded by the step. Following this, he completed a triple axel and a good combination triple lutz / triple toe loop in the second half of the music.
'' The place of honor was occupied by the American Richard Dornbush, who fell on an attempted quadruple salchow rotation suspect, but then flawless the rest of the elements presented, among which a valid triple axel and triple lutz combination / triple toe loop, performed in the second part of the program.
In third place is the Chinese Nan Song, author of a valuable combination quadruple toe loop / triple toe loop, but in difficulty'' landing on the triple axel.
'' The expected Japanese Takahiko Kozuka, best day of the sum of the components of the program, has not gone beyond the fourth because of a quadruple toe loop and triple degraded atterratto on two feet, had the same problem with the Kazakh Denis Ten '' However, addition of the fall.
The expected American Joshua Farris and Adam Rippon are due respectively to settle the seventh and eighth of'' preceded by positive Canadian Jeremy Ten able to run a program without smudging. The holder of the junior world title gave up, as happened in the national short of four times, but mainly paid the price for attacking a double toe loop to a triple flip from wire entry not properly inside.
