Ok. I calmed down..
If that's real...
in the content planned by Jin and Chen. These reckless kids... I'm starting to see Meoima's point--still don't agree with limiting quads in general, but for juniors? Maybe some intervention is in order. (Shoma pained expression at the end of Nationals and 4CC wasn't helping either).I'm okay with no quad if Sasha isn't ready. No second triple axel... :think: Hopefully he's not sick or injured. But if he is, watering down the content is preferable to what happened to Pitkeev at Europeans.

Note: I just looked at the planned jumps for the other skaters - and there is "4T?" for Pitkeev in the SP. That isn't allowed in the SP in juniors, is it? (if I remember correctly? that's why Peetrov has had a level playing field in the SP, but lost out in the FP.)
The list does not accurately reflect what they will attempt.
Sasha might as well not show up if he's going to attempt an LP with such a low BV in jumps. 3F is also his weakest jump, I really doubt he will be attempting 2 flip combos.
Quad is not allowed in the SP for Juniors.
I highly doubt that Chen will attempt 3 quads (and 1 in combo) in the LP. Although his US Nationals planned elements list had 3 quads, in reality he only attempted 1 quad (4T).

Okay, thanks - then I understand.
Oh, well, so we'll just have to wait a little longer. To quad or not to quad, that is the question... (I must confess that was the first thing I looked for - and didn't pay any mind to much else on my first glance. I then went back to it and thought: Hmmm, hey, wait a minute... )
First day in Tallinn, with Samohin and Pitkeev:

Sasha and Adian were so cute together at the gala last year...in fact, they are the main reason I became interested in juniors. I hope they both make the gala again this year & give us more cute moments.
Does Daniel speak Russian?

Yes, his parents are Russian. His older brother used to compete in Russian Cup events.
Sasha starts fourth in the final group for the SP tomorrow:

Yeah, well such is the nature of this sport. Anyway, assuming he turns senior next season, this will be the last junior event I'm watching live until 2016/2017.
Regardless of what happens, Sasha will probably be at the Winter Youth Olympics in 2016, so that's something to look forward to.
75.28, a couple minor imperfections here and there but it was a good skate.
Sasha is in third place going into the FS. Basically you have around 5 guys within 4 points of one another, fighting for silver.
Other notable things:
-His mum and sister were there in the audience, so cute.
-A nice hug from Mishin after he finished and then a pat on the back in the K&C. <3 Feels like Mishin and Sasha are getting closer. There were no hugs last season IIRC.

Glad Sasha went clean today. I would've put him second in marks, first on my personal enjoyment list.
Still a bit worried... He looked kinda cautious in the warm-up, not knocking out jump after jump like everyone else. Then in the actual skate... is it just me, or do his jumps look smaller than they were back in the JGP? His axel is still solid but not quite the "Wow!" I'd expect from Mishin's pupil. Then his other jumps looked tight...
Hopefully he's just nervous after not doing so well at Sr or Jr Nationals. He's still fun to watch even without his biggest jumps, and it's nice to see skaters work on their landings instead of not even trying to stand up.

He's kind of like that during warm-ups. Does a jump, maybe two or three, no more than that. It's just his style/habit.Glad Sasha went clean today. I would've put him second in marks, first on my personal enjoyment list.

Well, if you're skating after a guy who just got rewarded 85 points and realize that the judges will never give you gold no matter what you do, I'd say his mental state was not perfect, hence the tightness in the jumps.
His PCS should have been more than 0.8 higher that Adian. Maybe 1.5.

Well, it's good to know the warm-up isn't any kind of anomaly. No need to knock out quads in warm-ups when they aren't even allowed in the short, like a certain Mishin student used to.
I agree 1.5 points is more like it (though Adian skated wonderfully and improved his presentation; I'm proud of him too). I'm grateful Sasha got second-highest PCS at all, since his momentum got derailed after two bad competitions and he's only Russian #2.
