2018 Rostelecom Cup Men's Short Program

[anonymoose_au]

Russian men doing very badly at home so far... bodes ill for Kolyada :scard8:

Maybe Misha stole their mojo and will rise more powerful than ever.

Hey that's Artur Snr there! Family vibe here!

It always made my ankles cry in agony for him, but technically, it was a cute trick. Not sure what the point of doing it would be, since it incurs a mandatory negative GOE bullet.

Right. The lack of flow you have to accept is not worth it.

 

[Metis]

I really really hope so... Don't want to imagine what TAT will say if all 3 of them mess up...

No one loves Voronov. >.<

GO BRENDAN

GO BRENDAN

Voronov is a total boss and doesn't get the love he deserves. Shakes fist.

And yes! GO BRENDAN! He already get +5.00 GOE for his amazing hair.

Board Games, exhibit 1: Morozov with Amodio, Amodio looking sideways and moving sideways. Amodio looking great as usual, Morozov - ...

Good luck to Brendan!!!

 

[WeakAnkles]

Is there some unspoken competition among the men about "bad hair"?

 

[rachno2]

GO BRENDAN

I literally love Sergei so much. The Russian skating establishment doesn't appreciate him enough

 

[Ichatdelune]

The ice must hate quads. Whoa did he just get that 4S invalidated??

GASP! You did not just knock Brendan's hair

This is...a very interesting piece of music, Flo picked it didn't he

 

[Metis]

Dear rinkmonster: if I write you some more fanfic, will you CALM DOWN?

What another one?

 

[gonewiththewind25]

This event is just...

 

[WeakAnkles]

Half the arms in that step sequence would probably have twice the impact.

Completely

 

[Noxchild]

Poor Brendan... at least his costume is nice.

 

[brens78]

Damn Brendan

Nothing for his salchow after looking at the score box?

Brendan Kerry

- Rough landing on the 3T, had to put second foot down on attempted 4T (-2)
- Fall on the attempted 4S, might be <, also no combo but will still count +COMBO (-5)
- Very rough on the camel position after change of foot, will likely get V (-1)
- Spread eagle into 3A, cleanly done (+1)
- Good speed through the steps, edges could be longer and held more but strong attack (+2)
- A bit uncentered but nice speed through combo spin (+1)
- Flying sit spin with nice twist of the body (+1)

Shame about the two quad attempts. I think this program is much better for Kerry than I've seen from him in a while. This is not boding well for the men thus far...

Replay: Yep, 4S looks clearly < to me.
