Mikhail Kolyada

Very bad. He had a nasty one on the 3A and then a really nasty one on the 3Lo. He was in visible pain afterward, and is now at the hospital getting his wrist examined.
Oh no, that sounds horrible. I think I’ll hold off on watching it after all... seeing skaters in pain breaks my heart, even more so when it’s the ones I like :( Poor him, he just recovered and now this...
 
He was still on music when he fell on the 3A.

OK. I don't remember much from what I saw of the skate and I'd rather not watch the rest and analyze. I'm not sure what happened, then. I know he said he was mentally ready, but maybe too much adrenaline? The falls were so unusually horrific.

Still, it's not the first time he is in a situation with nerves, adrenaline and falls, that didn't turn the falls themselves so dangerous before. I think he absolutely did not expect to fall on the axel and that definitely shook him. And of course after the loop there wasn't much he could do. It still doesn't quite explain why the falls themselves were so bad.

I hope there will be news on his wrist soon.
 
TAT said his wrist is NOT broken :) somebody on twitter said possibly bruised. Hope we get official comments soon, but this is something positive.

Something is usually bruised when you hit it directly. His hand would be bruised, wrist likely sprained.
 
What is it with Misha's rotten luck with his health this season? Dima's rotten luck with... something. Alina. Zhenya. T/M. Z/E seem to be out. Were those Olympics cursed? :slink:
 
At least there were non-Olympians Sasha and Sonya to pick up the slack.

I really am happy for Samarin, he's adorable. Not my favorite skater, but he landed his jumps and has been the most successful of the Russian men this season. I like his earnest personality.

So a sprain—short recovery time, good news. I assume we'll see him next at Cup of Russia Final.
 
Here are some more comments:

Mikhail Kolyada (RUS), 2018 World & European bronze medalist(on injuring his left arm) I fell on the Axel and it started to hurt. I don’t know what happened, but maybe it is broken. I broke my right arm about ten years ago when I slipped on the street after rain and it kind of feels the same. (On whether he thought about stopping) No. No matter what happens, I wanted to skate the program to the end and show the maximum. I should have done the second quad toe instead of a triple. (On skating after Javier Fernandez) It was not easy to skate after him, especially when he got such a high score. (on missing the quad Salchow) That was a technical mistake, the jump itself was not bad. Then the program went downhill. (On leading after the Short Program) I tried not to think about it.
 
Ok, I just watched the LP on youtube.
The fall on the 4S was the usual waiting too long before jumping.
The fall on the 3A looked like he slipped upon landing and fell.
The fall on 3 Loop was the one where he got his wrist hurt cos he put his hand down.The axis was already off when he 'launched' up. He held his wrist a couple of sec then went on with his program.
Popped the next axel jump. Held on to the 3 Lutz. Shook his wrist a bit at the non jump elements.
Once he finished, held that wrist and winced.

Where are these comments from? Can't find.

Yes, the fall on the axel looked completely unexpected rather than the usual Misha's fall where he knows he is ending there already during the entry and is ready. And it is after this that his arm started hurting and everything went to hell. I hope that, if he must fall, he at least doesn't develop a habit of uncontrolled falling.
