2020 Cup of Russia: Stage I

[anonymoose_au]

Caught up on the menfolk!

True confessions time: When he's not skating in an very ill-advised costume I rather like Anton S. Also the Oles in his program cracked me up, quality addition! I've got to work a bit more on my Duolingo though, because I didn't recognise his name in Russian and thought he wasn't here.

Artem was excellent! I felt kind of bad for the two guys who came before him because they were kinda...eh (second dude Maxim V had some nice spins) and then he came out and threw down!

Roman's SP music is so awesome, gotta love that Italian Resistance song, I did notice that his costume has stains on it like he's been engaging in urban warfare, nice touch.

Makar has lovely lines and I appreciate the pocketography! Shame about the pop, still looks nicer than a fall

Egor's costume didn't have a single sequin or bull skull or nothin'! I do like Bloodstream though and he's got some nice spins!

Speaking of which, I agree, when did the illusion becomes the new A-Spin?

Schindler's List with the world's most unfortunate costume.

At first everyone thought he was half dressed as a Nazi and half dressed as a concentration camp prisoner. Turns out it was supposed to be Schindler's suit, but yeaaaaah.

Then the ISU nominated it for best costume for the ISU Awards and

I have to admit I'm slightly curious to how Yagudin refers to Plushy and his team. Like...is it distantly polite? Through gritted teeth? Does he just avoid the name altogether? Or did he decide Plushy's not a traitor to Russia this week?

Either way it didn't translate well and I felt kinda bad for him because everyone was like ANTI-SEMITE at him and I don't think he is TBH.

OMG NGL I would love to hear that, it'd be hilarious.

Apparently a reporter mixed them up once (how I don't know) and Yagudin was so unimpressed it was funny.

Good luck Maxim V! I thought he had some nice spins.

Only a complete idiot could have thought that was anti-Semite, never bother with brainless people.

Morning all, I‘m so ready for today!
