2022-23 Cup of Russia - Stage 6 - Perm

[yume]

Mishin has quite a group of skaters at the moment. Quite an acheivement for an octogenerian who is still going strong. Long may he coach. And Mrs. Mishin as well since Semenenko has been her boy for a long time.

Moskvina and Mishin a really made of something strong.

Now that it’s over, does anyone want to take a stab at guessing top 5 at Nationals for the men?

Kondratyuk and Semenenko on podium for sure, maybe Aliev if he menages two clean skates

Nope, not me.
Russian men are just too unpredictable.

Roll on the Victory ceremonies!

Kondratiuk is in hospital because of back problems. Whether he will compete is a big question.

Lutfullin.

If, and it's a big if, Aliev goes clean, he should be on top of the podium. I love his programs this year. Kondratyuk has a fantastic SP, but the FS isn't as good, and Aliev should always beat Semenenko on PCS. But, the potential for either Mark or Dima having a mini-meltdown is good.

 

[AlexBreeze]

Zhenya has closed RGP with a highest combined score in the whole series, btw.

 

[Pairluv]

Lutfullin.

After Aliev, he is my favorite among the Russian men.

 

[yume]

I would be fine with a top 5 Lutfullin, Yakoblov, Semenenko, Gummenik and Ignatov in any order. But that will only happen in my dreams, as there are also Kolyada, Aliev with their high PCS and Samarin who can go really high on a good day.

Our bronze medalist has CSSp1V, FCSp3, StSq2 and CCoSp3V.

Interesting fact: Yesterday Volkov told Artem that it was still possible to fight (for podium). He was absolutely right.

Tuktik doesn't look so short. Then other skaters come close to her.

She looks much tinier live. I'm suprised every time.

 

[AlexBreeze]

I wonder if Matvei could fight for a medal without a 4T attempt. It took all his energy.

 

[AlexBreeze]

Happy Tema

 

[Pairluv]

She looks much tinier live. I'm suprised every time.

I would die if she decided to extend her competitive career in pairs. With a worthy male partner.

 

[AlexBreeze]

I think I haven't seen Artem and Zhenya on the same podium since juniors.

 

[AlexBreeze]

With a worthy male partner.

She jumps better than most pale partners.

Just like Kadyrova or Osokina.

how he's saving those landings

Slo-mo after medal ceremony is not kind to him. It looks like he is wildly flailing arms in the air and toppling over
