Y'all, stop putting even more pressure on Kolyada, he already has to save all of Russian men's figure skating and cure my depression, now you expect him to save this event too? [emoji23]

At this point, I am all for Silver Fox Majorov to grab a medal there and own this double tie with problematic shirt program

Oh, and pretty ladies sightings!

Alexander Majorov (SWE)

- Slight turn-out, heavy landing on 4T, hand-down (-2)
- Good 3A from a spiral position (+1)
- Fine camel spin, a bit slow near the end (+1)
- A bit wild but clean 3Lz+3T (+1)
- Very good speed through the sit spin (+2)
- Good edges through the step sequence (+2)
- Good centering on the last crossfoot (+2)

Solid program from what might have been a mess. I like his expression through the step sequence, though I still don't think this music is suitable for a competitive program. There's just not enough places in the song to emphasize until the last 30 seconds or so.

Somewhere Aliev is thinking, “Even without an Axel, I could beat this field.”

 

[Pandicorn]

Now I´m really glad that Paul didn´t try his quad.

Majorov making Swedish fed regret taking away his olympic spot.

He got StSq4!

Yaaaay!

(I still can't believe they were allowed to do that... I expected better from Sweden, I really did.)

Alexander's mesh undershirt really makes this outfit.

Interestingly the older guard keep it together this GP season in the men's competition.

 

[Mrs. P]

Yay! Breaking 80 finally!

 

[Ichatdelune]

Now I get why it's silent during the replay. It's a moment of paying respects for the dead jumps.

Alexander, what a fun performance, and nice level 4s. I loved when he reached down and touched the ice right on the beat, and that last spin was fabulous.

Lol

And the uncle renaissance continues.

LRT!

 

[Metis]

Oh Lord, my babies go first and second, and my loves are last and second to last. What a flight.

I am so nervous for him!!!!!!!!!!11!!!

 

[Ichatdelune]

Did Yuzuru just give the "I am going to save this event no matter what" face???

 

[gonewiththewind25]

Yuzu has his game-face on, be afraid, be very afraid.
