Russian Senior Test Skates 2021 - Short Program

[anonymoose_au]

Am I tired or is Ted just sort of rambling about personal taste?

He was, but I got what he meant.

Why is he so tall, though?

Petr ate his greens as a kid obviously

I've missed Artur D, even if the jumps are off, he's so engaging. Olé!

 

[LadyB]

Don't make so sudden movements when I'm just putting a pint to my lips.

 

[Lamente Ariane]

Love the speed, skating skills and attack! Jumps weren’t there but a beautiful program.

 

[Mariiiiskate]

Oh no Artur his jumps are sadly not fully back but other than that he looks great

 

[Totentanz]

Artur's skating is fine in terms of complexity and he has good energy and flow. All he needs is consistent jumps at this point. Oh don't cry cutie, you were good.

 

[nussnacker]

I’m gonna predict it’s going to be another season when Rusfed won’t know whom to choose to send to Euros/Olys.
So many talents, most are inconsistent.

Or even Nebelhorn…

Jumps weren't there yet but it's so, so, so, so, so nice to see him back on the ice again, lord I've missed him (did you people know he's my second favourite Russian man well now you know)

 

[CrazyKittenLady]

Oh no, the jumps are not fully there yet, but apart from that the best performance yet by far!

mama loves you anyway, Artur, you just need to get back on track after injuries and a season off

 

[Lamente Ariane]

Aw don’t make him interview he’s upset

Those old days when the two were usually top two men from Russia, unless Plushenko has a sudden urge to compete.

This image cracks me up...Plushy just sitting around and then suddenly going "You know what? I think I'll go win some competitions today."

Poor Artur D, what was his injury? He was going so well a few seasons back.

 

[elektra blue]

seeing my baby in tears just broke my poor mama's heart

 

[Totentanz]

mama loves you anyway, Artur, you just need to get back on track after injuries and a season off

Supportive mama! We love you

 

[CrazyKittenLady]

Sasha davai!!!!!

 

[Apple1078]

Oh no, don’t cry. Loved Arthur’s program. Such a beautiful skater. LOVE him! So brutal getting a microphone stuck in their faces as they step off the ice. Omg.

 

[Ella339]

I want Ted to be my dad, my boss, every male authority figure in my life! He's truly the nicest, I'm in awe.

 

[elektra blue]

Samarin, why so sober ?

 

[nussnacker]

Here comes Elektra’s favorite boy, Sasha

 

[anonymoose_au]

OMG I love Sasha S's costume! The greeen!

Poor Artur D, what was his injury? He was going so well a few seasons back.

Ankle surgery, he missed last (not-quite) season because of it
