WHAT????? :disapp:

 

[Mrs. P]

PCS basically gave Kovtun the win. Sigh.

 

[Alchamei]

Come on Artur!

 

[Silvia451]

kovtun is nowhere near pchiddy's level.

[sabinfire]

Wow, what a fall!!!!

 

[rosacotton]

Lord. What was Kovtun's overall score?
Kinda hope Kovtun messed up in the Euro and Voronov ended up higher than him just like in the GPF.

It happened at Europeans last year, too!

 

[HanDomi]

and here the disaster starts...

 

[whatif]

Disgusted.

 

[Poice]

Gachinski is so much better skater than Kovtun but he needs to start to land his jumps....

 

[CanadianSkaterGuy]

Kovtun getting 90.70 PCS is bad but so is Voronov getting 87.42 PCS. It's not like Voronov skated clean and Kovtun was solid other than his opening quad and final spin.

Kovtun's performance was still miles better than Plu's 95-PCS freeskate last year.

Maksim:
Максим КОВТУН 173.38 82.68 90.70 9.07 8.82 9.14 9.11 9.21

only 9 point lower in TES than Voronov

 

[Alba]

Oh Artur. You are going to break my heart.

 

[gmyers]

Voronov was robbed of Russia title but always beats kovtun outside russia.

 

[Alchamei]

That TES makes me depressed... :hopelessness:

 

[unico]

A bit gutted that Voronov missed it by such a slim margin More often than not, I prefer those who clearly win the free skate to end up ahead. Just a psychological thing I guess.

 

[text_skate]

Poor Artur. I wished him a 2nd clean skate.

 

[karne]

What happened on the loop? My feed jerked and I didn't see!

Oh Artur! You are ten times the skater Kovtun wishes he could be! I wish you would believe in yourself.

 

[Bumdid]

So, is Kovtun going to complain about inflation in Japanese national again after this?

 

[silverfoxes]

Voronov was robbed of Russia title but always beats kovtun outside russia.

True, that's comforting to me. And at least he should get to go to Worlds now.
