I didn't really expect him to skate lights out because he's not a GP skater either, he does better at Euros and Worlds. But it was a pretty solid showing! That 4S though, it was a sort of awkward fall :eek:hwell: but the 4T was gorgeous and effortless! I'm looking forward to see the progression of both programs :)
Bravo Javi :yes:

Congratulations! It wasn't perfect, but still quite a solid skate - I wasn't feeling nervous for him while watching. I hope he builds on this and just gets better and better as the season goes along.:)

After watching Javier Fernandez I don't want to watch anyone else. There's no male figure skating there's only Javier Fernandez.

Vamos Javi!! :cheer:
winning here would mean him skating last at SP at GPF, you think he can handle the pressure?

I think last year's GPF SP was a learning experience for him. He now knows what to expect in his home country and won't be so overwhelmed :agree:

Good luck to Javi today!! :hap57:

He's only 0.55 point away from 1st place, so I don't worry for him. :) Except if a disaster happens tomorrow, he will win. Or at least, if he's 2nd or 3rd, get his ticket to GPF.

Even if he finishes second, wouldn't he still have a chance of qualifying as first? The tiebreaker with Shoma is the TSS on both events, Shoma had a higher SP at TEB, but Javi was 13 pts higher at COC than Shoma was at SA. It could change if the scores are used the other way around and his TSS at COR and his SP at COC are the ones used for the tiebreaker. The only one who has the chance of placing higher than him now is Yuzu, I think. If he wins and has a higher TSS on both events.

Javi posted this on his blog today (Google translated from Spanish).

I could not tell exactly what happened today in the first round of the Russian Cup. The truth is that both yesterday and today I felt very well in training, but when the competition started it took me longer than usual to adapt to the ice, and especially in the entrance of the quadruple Salchow. And it was not only in making the program, but I've also noticed over the previous six minutes warming. I have not had a good feeling with the ice.

Realistically, today's second place is not bad. We're just over halfway point of the first position, so it is far away the attempt to repeat the title and I won here last year.

I am already looking forward to tomorrow and get back in tune on the ice. I hope it's better feelings now, so you can earn gold and adding two victories for the Grand Prix Final. Let us not forget that the main objective of this Russia Cup is to qualify for the Grand Final in Barcelona.

Thanks for being there
