Haha I know, for some reason I'm imagining some trucker with a cowboy hat belting this out in one of those roadside bars in the USA.

Where on Earth did his team find it I wonder!

it's by Beth Hart and as such a popular choice for girls - I guess they wanted to take the male version for a male skater

Did you see the name of the band?

Big Mike & The Booty Papas

I actually LOL'ed.

OMG...I want explanations from Fedor's team and I want them now.

But now onto Danik! Gooooo Danik!

Erm, what's with the seagull noises?

Somebody's already uploaded a photo of Samarin's fall:

Well, at least there are no random weird faces on his shirt this year.

[Jontor]

Ice dance literally put me to sleep but Im back now

Yeah, what was that ice dance about? I accidently saw two programs and they had two of the worst songs EVER!! 'Don't worry be happy' and 'Lady in red'. Oh the pain!!

His choreographer joked that if he falls, the seagulls laugh at him.

There was a great Indian RD.

Good morning everyone. The most wonderful time of the year. Russian Nationals.

Samsonov used to look like a little plum. He doesn't anymore...

Also, skating to Hallelujah should be forbidden. It is not good for my mental health.

Danik is somewhat disappointed by his fall, but overall excellent skate!

Ooo look his fan club is there in the audience with a banner!

 

[anonymoose_au]

Wait how does Danill get his hair to get back into it's style like that? Did Danny G or Sergei D have emergency hair gel on hand

I just checked your OP, and see it's a sailor song. And now the costume makes sense. He's in the navy.

(And I dare anybody reading not to start singing "In The Navy" by the Village People!)

I thought it didn't look or sound quite right for a pirate programme...

8 falls already after 9 skaters

 

[Pairluv]

Last year, the men skated much cleaner

You really have to wonder how much the effect of not skating for a Euro or World spot is having on all these skaters. Liza has been very clear that that is the reason she's quit. Hope for a better season next year.

 

[Mathematician]

Are the tickets for Russian Nats expensive? I know how much our events are here in the US..

Not really. Low hundreds for good seats.

Double digits for the mid seats.

And this is in Canadian dollars.

 

[Mathematician]

So is this what they call the men "menning"?

 

[elektra blue]

Lyosha...this emo music feels so appropriate to this skate

 

[EdgeCall]

Oh dear.

 

[icewhite]

oh f*ck

this is why when girls bomb we say they're menning
