If I tried to pronounce this skater's name I would dislocate my jaw. If I tried to pronounce it in front of my family, they would think I was having a stroke.

Skater: has decent 3A
Me: Is he Russian by birth
ISU bio: yes

Hello everybody!
Who will read the name of Armenian skater correctly 3 times in a row, is still sober like me!

Is it that difficult? There are enough vowels to make it doable methinks

 

[elektra blue]

strong start! thank you Fedor

Surprisingly, I actually think his name is easier to pronounce than it looks at first - Or maybe I've just gotten used to "complicated" names?

Ask Chris

 

[Jeanie19]

Fedor. Great 3A, wonderful way to start this event.

 

[Ichatdelune]

Ask Chris

Chris Howarth cannot pronounce a name simple as Guarise right so...

actually it's just long, like many armenian names, but it isn't difficult, our english speaker friends are being lazy or too sober

Armenian skater very talented. He has so slowish camel spin like junior GP bronze medalist Adam H.!

Wow you are harsh with your boy

 

[FlossieH]

How did he stay upright on that 3T?

If that is the standard of things to come, I am worried about Ed... He had the 26th best score coming into the event and I was assuming that enough skaters would make mistakes for him to progress. Fedor is one of the skaters I wasn't expecting to make it. 68 should be fine.

I see red... I see red....

Pop count: 1

 

[Ichatdelune]

My good sir this is Prince's retribution for not skating to his music in purple

 

[elektra blue]

as red as my uncle wine

 

[FlossieH]

Hmm. I think that single axel will take him out.
