Big surprise, the Russian Men flopped again. Hopefully the ladies can salvage a 2nd place, at least.
Dunno, the FS actually seemed ok - they pretty much did maybe not their best, but surely some good skate for them...
Ladies and pairs can deffo salvage 2nd place =D
If FS for ladies and pairs go exactly the same way as the sp, team russia will have a 7 points advantage over the japanese, and this is definitely doable.
1st place quite unlikely, unless american ladies meltdown.
I am more positive toward our team and would state that Russia's winning over USA although hard is still much more likely than losing to Japan.
If only Sergei and Maxim were just slightly better in the SP, it would've been a win. *sigh* They were finally, finally fielding a strong team...
Russia can tie for first if Liza and Elena go 1-2 and Miyahara beats either of the American ladies.

Never thought I'd root for a Japanese lady (not named Mao Asada) over Ashley Wagner, but now I kinda do.Russia can tie for first if Liza and Elena go 1-2 and Miyahara beats either of the American ladies.

Sergei flopped with a season's best score? Not to belabor the point, but why do so many people on here constantly lump the "Russian men" together as if they are one person? I see nothing similar about them except their nationality.
In the case of the LP, I agree. The men didn't flop, especially Sergei (Kovtun made more errors but I wouldn't call it a flop). The SP placements did them in though. As did K/S's placements in pairs (I love them, but it's the truth).Sergei flopped with a season's best score?
