3Lo - stepout, hand down

Better than the SP, but not perfect. I like this program for him, but it seems quite empty in parts and he seemed a bit tired througout.

Score: 70.35+68.00 = 128.35, 208.16

I'm happy for him that he finally landed the jumps, but that was just... kind of uninspired. He was walking out there.

It's sad GACHINSKI have great jumping ability but he is boring to watch, he needs to work on his charisma and his presentation, he seems uninspired during his routine.

Regarding charisma and presentation, the same applies to Mishin's other student Tuktamysheva.

...hood on...

Landed most of his jumps, but I find his overall skating quite messy and unrefined

I agree, like he just throws together all the elements. What was the significance of throwing the hood on at the end.

No, it's false, Tuktamysheva have change a lot this season. She is really enjoyable to watch now, look at her new program, she take more attention to the detail of her music and try to bring the audience with her interpretation.

Tuktamysheva now have charisma and facial expression compared to the past season.

I think all of Gachinski's hard falls and injuries are taking away all of his love and joy for the sport. He is under SO MUCH pressure right now and it's very evident. :cry:
