Mikhail's costume reminds me of someone...I can't think who though!

many male skaters from the 80s, have you been watching old videos

i was sending love to the commentator, not the skater are you sure you are not drinking?

 

[Jumping_Bean]

Wow Sota and Matteo already

Yeah, they flopped in the Short, unfortunately. Particularly unfortunate because both had really good jumps in the warm-up and then not in the actual program itself.

iirc it is actually designed with him retiring in mind

Yuzu? Or Sota? Or both?

I guess purple's a good colour to go out on!

OK, here we go!

 

[CrazyKittenLady]

Davai Mikhail! Land those stunning quads of yours!

 

[labgoat]

I love seeing Urmanov with his students, he seems like he takes care of them

 

[LadyB]

Davai, Shaidorov!!!

 

[elektra blue]

Actually no, but now you mention it I can see it!

OK lets get some real Carmina Burina or whatever it's actual name is.

Yuzus retirement ofc

 

[rollerblade]

No no no. We need the gif of her and Eteri together.

 

[4everchan]

there is a reason why men stopped wearing onesies in figure skating in the 90s..

also, carmina burana is a no no as it reminds me conrad's sp

Carmina Burina

Really close Carmina Burana

 

[Jumping_Bean]

Yuzu? Or Sota? Or both?

I think Sota asked for this costume to pay tribute to Yuzu after Yuzu's retirement, I doubt Sota's planning to retire yet.

 

[4everchan]

No no no. We need the gif of her and Eteri together.

ask our gif master @yesterday

 

[anonymoose_au]

I do love it when skaters bring it to the judges!

So I'm very pleased that there's a whole element in ice dance that's apparently dedicated to just that

Wow, second half quad for Mikhail!

"It's a big quad, rotated quad..."

 

[labgoat]

Really nice skate for Mikhail S. - he is a very nice talent and I love the music choice.

 

[AlexBreeze]

Except for a chronic underrotation in the second half, it was brilliantly.

 

[snowflake]

Strong skate Mikhail

after epic music about being drunk a drink is mandatory
