Why are you trying to make me nervous too? :laugh:

I'm actually pretty calm about this considering everything else that's been going on lately.

I shall be calm and sensible... afterwards. ;) Luckily their performances aren't dependant on me.;)
 
Sasha did not attend the first practice session. I'm watching now. There's another one later today.
 
So he didn't attend but they played his music and it sounded great over the arena speakers. Everyone else in that group had soft or easy listening type music so his was pretty impactful. That's pretty much all I have to report for now.

His LP or SP music?

Note: Both are quite impactful, of course - but I was thinking more as relative to that of the other guys.

SP.

Sigh. So I actually overslept for the second practice session (it's very late here). I missed the first 15mins but started watching just in time for Sasha's SP run through. The other guys were doing LP run throughs. He didn't do the whole SP, just the two solo jumps, two spins and a little choreo here and there. The rest of the time was spent on some choreo and spins and then he left the ice early. Yeah, that's about it. He looked handsome though, hopefully that counts for a fraction more PCS? :)

Anyway, there will be a video of this. Someone is uploading on youtube.

The (in)famous Beauty PCS? ;) Well, let's hope his looks pierce the stony heart of at least a judge or two... any fraction helps.;)

Thanks for the vids! :)
 
Final practice session before SP:
He did more jumps than the previous session outside of his run through. Run through- did 2F, 3Lz (hand down), a bit of choreo and final spin. After that he skated around for awhile for the next three skaters to do their run throughs, attempted a couple jumps, spoke to Mishin and left the ice early before the session ended.

Video of his run through:

I will add the video for the full session later.

His lutz is axtually making me really nervous right now. Okay, to be honest everything in this competition is making me a total nervous wreck, just hoping that he can cope well with being nervous (if he even is about this)

And am I right, the men's competition starts in about seven hours?

Yes, that lutz in the run through was not good. I'm feeling quite uneasy now, well I was already before this session but now more so. However I've seen him had so-so practice sessions in the past and skated clean in competition so there's isn't that much of a correlation. I just hope he is physically okay.

Edit:
Competition starts at 5.45pm local time, so about 6hrs 45mins from now.
