Sasha's new programs look very good - Nikolai Morozov as a choreographer was a really good choice.

In short program Sasha landed triple flip + triple toeloop combo, triple lutz but singled his axel, both of his step sequences level 3.

Long program - seven clean triples (two triple axel, first triple axel in combination with triple toeloop), one fall in triple lutz, good levels in spins.

I put his programs on youtube - you can watch:

Just note - Sasha had a surgery in the middle of July, he came back on the ice at the end of August.
