2021 Rostelecom Cup: Men's Free Skate

[EdgeCall]

Wut? Morisi won?!

 

[readernick]

I don't agree with the PCS but I do think the right skaters are on the podium. ( Even though I'm not sure they are in the right order)

 

[CrazyKittenLady]

It was silver last year for him.

Yeah, I just realized. So he actually improved, even better!

 

[anonymoose_au]

May I just point out that this last group of guys actually did skate pretty well, all told—not the disaster some of you folks were afraid of

People underrate the menfolk, I think they like to surprise us

Sad for Brendan and Zhenya S though.

I'm sleepy, but I want to see some dance. Hmmmm

 

[cathlen]

Who said Eteri is not good at coaching men? He's not even Russian. He may have the Eteri bonus, but still. Congratulations to him!

He is Russian and he used to skate for Russia. He changed the country only few years ago.

 

[yume]

I had to work and missed almost everything.
Well, Morisi winning only make me think about posters who, during his 1st GP, were wondering why Eteri was wasting her time with him

 

[Yannis94]

This was interesting to say the least. Roman finishing just off the podium. Hopefully he'll be in the exhibition gala. I need to see that Boy with Luv program with lights. And if Semenenko skates the exhibition as well, we'll have some TXT love as well.

 

[Tolstoj]

Kvitelashvili ahead of Rizzo and Tomono in components is something i can't really agree, what the hell was that?

Morisi skated head down the whole program, Kazuki and Matteo performed, look at that choreo sequence at the end from the japanese, so much energy and expression at the end of the free skate, he didn't look tired at all.

To me the japanese was some 3-4 points stronger than Morisi, easily.

Eteri skaters really have bonus points in Russia.

 

[karne]

But wow Moris won! I hope people aren't too annoyed.

Who am I kidding, they're gonna rip him to shreds...

People should be absolutely hecking DISGUSTED with that judging, they should be disgusted with that technique, they should be disgusted with that result. It is literally everything wrong with how the judging system is being used politically by certain parties and that technique should have been stomped on and crushed literal years ago. Kvitelashvili getting higher PCS than Tomono is an absolute joke. It's results like this that make a mockery of the work that skaters like Jason Brown do because what the flip is the point of working on your skating skills and choreo and posture if the judges are just going to do that.

 

[tsuyoboogie]

Good enough, Kazuki!
Proud of you!
Show your best at Nats

Congrats to the medalists!
also Roman and Camden who skated so much better here than at their previous GPs

 

[LiamV426]

Well I'm really happy for Roman even if there was no medal, I hope if he makes the Top 2 at Nationals the Canadian Fed doesn't screw him over and sends him to the Olympics. I don't want some bullshit like "Oh let's have a skate off at 4CC" again.

 

[Joe Mendoza]

Kazuki

I definitely loved his choreographic sequence - he came alive! I obviously botched my predictions - oh well, but I am also happy for Roman to have done will in the FS...he definitely just needed a few more international events to get his competition legs under him. I guess I could say the same for Camden too - he had a good showing here.

Not only in Russia unfortunately

He is not skating for Russia, Russia just lost a gold medal (is what I meant). For me, he's Georgian, I have no clue what ethnicity these people are for the most part.

 

[draqq]

Well, Morisi was gifted the win. The lack of the < calls in his 4S<+3T< combo in the SP was the difference. But it's no fault but the judges.

 

[viennaskater]

I am fed up with misery-guts Kolyada getting perpetually overscored. It happened in the Italian GP too. An absolute sick joke.

 

[CrazyKittenLady]

Congrats to all the guys on the podium and all the guys who gave their best today!
See you round for pairs!

You're right, but I, for one, don't even care anymore, it's sports they say, for some this is some kind of normal thing is what I'm understanding.

 

[auser]

Wow shows what I know?!

What's he doing down there in 5th? Weird.

But wow Moris won! I hope people aren't too annoyed.

Who am I kidding, they're gonna rip him to shreds...

I won't... Congrats and well done Morisi, enjoyed your skate.

 

[Raskolnikov]

Congrats to the Georgians. Epic perfomance in the free.
Egadze has the second highest TES, by the way.
