That about the cleanest event of Russian men, heh

 

[Mariiiiskate]

they didn't give him any edge calls here but there was no difference in his edge to the prior jumps

 

[AlexBreeze]

again

 

[lariko]

Ouch! The last minute flinch

 

[Mariiiiskate]

Fedorov defeats the the national team members for the win

 

[lariko]

Grats to Fedorov, he is funny too

Anyway, great tournament, way better than last year!

 

[Mariiiiskate]

so Fedorov vs Kami next?

 

[EdgeCall]

The idea of a jumping contest actually holds water. With the right setup it is really entertaining. Of course the skaters need to deliver, which they certainly did here. Congrats to all participants!

 

[lariko]

Okay, i think we are going to get Valieva vs Fedorov… or just flowers. Okay, just flowers then.

 

[snwnprv]

Wow! Grisha is the first!

 

[AlexBreeze]

They look like twins

 

[Mariiiiskate]

Off-topic: Zagitova 's voice has matured. It's less high-pitched.

Not everyone in Russia shares your view

That was so much fun to watch. Super competitive and really exciting. Loved it. Most enjoyable competition of the whole season. What a fabulous jump fest!

I think this event was very well done, moved along at a nice clip-very organized. Enough star power to pull in a crowd . I think I liked the pairs the best and would have liked to see them more, but well done event. Also, I wasn't crazy about the brackets-just let each skater do two jumps, then they place over or under the skater before them etc.

The competition was interesting. Really highlighted the importancy of a consistent ultra-c weapon.

The ladies were jumping and so was I. Out of my chair of course, I’m not athletic enough for the figure skating jumps.

What a fantastic event. Channel 1 and the Fed showing everyone how to innovate, entertain and have great competition!

If anyone with any authority is reading this, please make it a permanent event on the calendar.

In Russia? Of course they will. In the World? I doubt it despite what Kogan boasted about recently (i.e. international calls praising him for the event etc.). In Men's category they could make it even greater than it was in Russia, for sure. In Women's? Sorry - there is nothing to show in jumps there. Well, fans of particular skaters could enjoy it in theory anyway - so what can I know?
And introducing elimination/rivals system and disqueting music during jumps - was all it required to turn otherwise boring event into solid show. Why they couldn't think up something like that when the first Jumps tournaments were introduced, I wonder? That type of event was considered as failure since then for many years..

I meant in Russia. Hope you are right and it becomes a yearly event and not a one off.

As a fan of the ladies exclusively, this becoming a world event would actually make it worse. ISU would dumb it down and introduce quotas, entry and age restrictions. No thanks.
