Sorry to spoil, but no way Ignatov is beating that 296 from Misha.
it could be, those things can do everything but i don't think they would use fire weapons, after all they got fangs and clawsI thought that was one of Samarin's shirts? Oh, the search continues!
Yes, I am so happy for Anton as well! Maybe this will even convince him to keep on skating competitively. But if it doesn’t, this is such a good way to conclude a career.I'm so happy for Anton who had a personal best with 6th place.
I feel so sorry for Mozalev...
Misha needs another quad. His non jump elements are top class but I'm not sure he can beat Zhou, Uno, Jin with just a 4T... Not even talking about Hanyu and Chen. Let us hope for professor Mishins jump magic.I don't think this spoils anything, that was basically impossible a decent skate from Makar though
Congratulations to Misha, absolutely a class of his own here. If he could correct those small issues he had he truly has a shot for a World medal (if Worlds are happening that is).
He is working on them. There have been good quad lutzes from practice and there is also 4S according to interviews. I don't think he's ready to try them yet, not after not skating for a season.Misha needs another quad.

That combo isn't possible unless the skater changes edge and jumps in the opposite direction of the other jumps on the 2T.I've never seen a 4T-Eu-2T combo before
There is no way Mishin would put in both 4Lz and 4S this season. They'll go for whichever is better in practice. If both quads are on the menu at all it's part of that two-year plan Mishin mentioned.This was a bit like the SP for men, ok, but very few wow moments.
Kolyada won fair and square - the quality is there definitely, he was clean, and this FS is by a very very long country mile the best program he has ever had. I have for some time thought that an inexpressive/poor performer should stick to classical music and style of movement because that is far easier to make look good than anything with a specific dance style, character or storyline - those reveal all flaws pretty quickly. In that, the Nureyev program works for Kolyada. What I keep wondering is that is there a storyline? The beginning and end plus maybe sth small in the middle sort of suggest that, but I cannot read what is intended from those few clues. If there should be a character or a storyline, then the program IMO is a failure. But if it is intended as an abstract tribute to Nureyev (like Plushenko's Nijinsky program), then it is a passable imitation of classical ballet on ice, not the best ever, but ok.
Reading the comments above on his work on the other quads, I start fearing a season similar to 2017-8 when he was trying to get both 4Lz and 4S work in programs at the same time. That did not work very well in the end. I am sure they will try, because without another quad he is not very competitive in the end.
