In this field, consistency was the key to a win. Gachinski didn't nail the SP and Machida faltered in the FS, so consistent performer Mahbanoozadeh walked away with the gold medal.

WAY TO GO, ARMIN!!

Whatever happened to Grigoriev? After a 20th place in the SP, he withdrew from the FS. He is currently listed to compete at Sheffield, but then the Russians haven't often sent the skaters initially listed for an event. My guess is they will send Mikhailov to Sheffield instead.

othe interesting results:

Brewster from 13 to 4th (7th overall)

Fernandez from 10th to 3rd (4th overall]

His component mark was sooo low in short program which shows that he wasn't OK. I read at Russian message board anything about 39 degrees of Celsius (102,2 Fahrenheit) and intoxication but nothing is confirmed. Nikita can replace Artem in Sheffield or Daniil Gleichengauz in Cape Town (because Daniil didn't have good skate in Samara at Russian Cup).

sisinka, Do you have a link to the full results of the Russian Cup in Samara?

It is totally off topic but....

http://icestars.ru/?p=513#more-513 ..in russian of course.

Thank you!

Extremely helpful.

And for those, like me, who can't read Russian,

http://stevemorse.org/russian/rus2eng.html

A useful site for transliterating Russian names into English names using cut and paste. I now have a list of how everyone finished, both the placings overall, sp, lp, total score, date of birth, and what I think is club & city? Or is it province & city.

It is a club and city.

do you have any videos about Gachinsky?

For Madrid, or in general? So far, I have not seen a single video coming out of this Madrid competition. There was no streaming or TV coverage, at least that has been aired yet, and the event had a strict camera policy.
