Artur Dmitriev succeeded to stay on foot after another his Quaxel attempt, but two footed his landing. There is a rare video of such attempt has been published.

-1 ded. for the fall.
Edit: I see it was answered twice already.
Well, when Daniil fell I nearly wrote him off but the rest was on very high level and the rest of the skaters showed that nerves can get everyone, so his chances are still high, he only has to skate clean tomorrow. Congrats to Andrei for the first place.
Mozalev was foot perfect the entire program, he has a very reliable technique.
Samsonov had that fall on the axel, the rest of the program was perfect.
Gumennik was more shaky here, fall on the 3a and the spins not as good as his usual quality. It was very nice to see Tamara Moskvina in the KnC tho, hope he can redeem himself in the free.

The real question is... will Dima keep his good old tradition and invalidate one of his jumps?

The other tradition of his is "one program bad, the second one good" this season. Will he keep it today? Of course we could speak similarly about Samarin. But he usually executed his SP well, so it is a question whether now he will be able to deliver good FS after "not so good" SP.

I got upset with the guys, I needed to be a little bit more dramatic than I usually am

Well, as almost always the Russian boys and men deliver more drama than necessary. Somehow the girls and women seem to be able to deal with the pressure better, or have just that right balance of skills vs physical capability?
Many of the boys and men seem to be chucking ultra-si, while the girls and women seem to be performing a smaller number but more quality ultra-si.
It's cool to be a girl figure skater, boys have to live up to the girls.

Alas Dima and Sasha S didn't do so well today 
Dima started off so well, but then it turned into a disaster! I hope he can regroup for Nats.
Sasha S seemed pretty good to me, but Kevin's PCS skills are actually incredible (the best of all the men I thought - although I don't think the score sheet agreed!) and the difference was obvious when they skated back to back. I appreciate Sasha is trying though! Perhaps he just needs to find his style?
Anyway, I won't be able to watch the Junior Men, but the new generation does seem more consistent so good luck to them!

Dmitri Aliev has to skate clean to stay in the mix (for some reason), he's not getting the marks unfortunately.
Samarin, great jumps and that's it for his programs. No transitions in his free, posture is sloppy, gliding looks forced,... and there is not even attempt to be at all artistic. He gets the marks so good for him.
Ideally Kolyada is better than both of them, but who knows where he is.
Juniors are far more exciting to watch because competition is slightly less political and there are more skaters at the same level.

Don't mention his name, someone might get offended...
But I was promised that someone would take Misha's place and do great things, but here we are. Kolyada himself is a non-factor now, and as we all know, the Fed has its sights on the junior men. Still, we know what happens when they level up to seniors.

Samarin needs an american coach. He just needs to learn about PCS

Do you know some inside info about Kolyada, which is not public?
The last news was that he was doing surgery end of October and has to stay away from ice for another month. Thus just know he would have been able to start training again.

Nah, most likely no info besides what we know. But it would hardly be a surprise if he announced his retirement, unless he got a clean bill of health and his prospects of competing are good.
