2020-21 Russian Men's figure skating

[anonymoose_au]

I only reply with support when they post something, to not annoy people

Well, I was thinking more on their Insta's or something, Mika has a fan club, not sure about Zhenya S though.

It'd be weird if they actually read the forum (although we would be on our best behaviour if they did, I think!)

I mean, on Instagram. I only reply when they post something that opens up comments option. I assume that is when their team is open to all the well-wishing etc. I also like throw reactions on the stories. the only reason I even have Instagram is the skaters.

Can I just cry happy tears about Kutovoy’s new program and the excellent result

I'll just stay here until the drama in the RLT is over....

It was an awesome podium! Happy for Dikidzhi and Ugozhaev too

Is it jut me or has Andrei gotten a bit taller lately? At least his coach has experience in handling growth spurts...

He seemed to, but it suits him. 3A to stabilize

Aliev, Ignatov, Samarin and Kondratiuk performed a lovely quartet together at Mishin's birthday gala.
It seems like the Rukavicin - Sokolovskaya teams really get on well together!

Never seen this before but it's pretty cool - an inside 2A from Artem Lezheev: https://www.instagram.com/p/CMDWVvehkkH/?igshid=2rzib9mhxewb

Oh no, poor Andrei Mozalev had to have an operation to get a cyst removed from his ankle. Apparently it was causing him pain when jumping and it got to a point where it was interfering with his training. Get well soon Andrei! https://www.instagram.com/p/CMNjv78pBp9/?igshid=5bn0ono0zezu

Really enjoyed watching novice boys, especially Kolya Kolesnikov and Senya Fedotov. Kolesnikov‘s jumping is a bit of a question mark for me at the moment, but this boy has such innate musicality and artistry.
Fedotov‘s SS are quite good! He and Lukin stand out to me with their SS.

Hasn't Daniil Samsonov grown since then?

Could be, I think they just took the data from the ISU bios. But I guess we can safely say he is still the smallest of the current crop of Russian men.

Kolyada and Smenenko are in the same warm up group three! Better get up early tomorrow!

 

[coldblueeyes]

The two russian men competed pretty well today. They are definitely on the bubble for three spots. Had they not skated so early, I'm sure their scores would be higher, but it is what it is. Hopefully they can have a good FS on Saturday!
