8. Annotators' commentary
Hours spent nitpicking every footwork in slo-motion and reviewing again and again really gives Elisa and I deeper understanding of 5 skaters' skating skills and how their programs are constructed. So please read our comments if you're interested!

8.3 Comments about Nathan Chen - La Bohème
I annotated and edited Nathan's SP the last. I hope my words doesn't sound harsh. But it's very hard to find positive things in Nathan's SP after reviewing the other 4
