2021 Rostelecom Cup: Men's Short Program

[EdgeCall]

Well, men will be men, they just can't help themselves.

 

[Mista Ekko]

Kolyada better hold on to 4th

Or Sato might take his GPF spot

 

[cathlen]

Am sad that the quads didn't quite work out for Mikhail Kolyada today; his skating is just enthralling, his posture and carriage so beautiful, and there is so much quality in his movement. His Nutcracker SP is really one that I love, but I don't think I've seen him clean in it yet this season

It's neverending story with Misha. He made fall in love with his skating in season 15/16 and now I suffer

 

[anonymoose_au]

Well I still enjoyed our menfolk. Sure they're messy but they always perform

Fingers crossed the Russian men can come back in the free though.

 

[lariko]

sweet skate though. As always, the results are outside mortals’ ability to predict. I am really hoping I can get the stream from the start now. I want to see Sadovsky doing well!

Kazuki is first after the SP...

 

[Dr. Jenn]

Way to go, Roman! I was not expecting that!

 

[rollerblade]

Wow they went ultra harsh on Rizzo.

 

[Seven Sisters]

Weird music: check
Weird choreo: check
Special award for both one and two above: check
Unnecessary facial hair count: 1
Still has his mama’s love: 1

Display of Italian flag, bravo

 

[cathlen]

Happy for Roman. I was not expecting such low score for Matteo

 

[karne]

Six skaters - between 3rd and 8th - are covered by just 4 points. That's going to be fun tomorrow.

 

[Seven Sisters]

Roman with a small medal in this comp, hooray!!!

 

[yume]

So Kazuki wins the program, hehe.
Good luck in the free, go get that medal!

 

[elektra blue]

see you later guys! i go eat my feelings

 

[figureskatingandrainbows]

Now that there is a chance for Shun and Jason to both make the Final... PLEASE SKATING GODS LET SHUN AND JASON BOTH MAKE THE FINAL I NEED ALL OF MY CHILDREN IN OSAKA! But I also want Misha to do well... ugh why is this competition

 

[YuBluByMe]

The inconsistent men are in the first group. I shudder to think what the free skate would bring.

 

[Jontor]

Ok, the men as unpredictable as ever. I think I will need a world record in re-shuffling for my predictions to kick in.

See you all later with the women!

 

[Gourlie]

I would take 0 points in prediction contest if this would be final results.

meet Franca Bianconi, our own Tarasova

Ew, does she make nasty comments and switch allegiance at the drop of a hat while going on about skaters' weight? Or is she just a general jerkface?

To watch dance or not to watch dance...that is the question...
