Now it gets interesting, I have no idea who will end up on the podium. Hope Zhenya has a better skate today.

Open podium. Now let's see whose needles are the longest.

bummer, i'm going to miss most of the last group, see you later!

Well done Daniil!! Got all his jumps done Though this took all his energy so he started struggling in the second half and finished way after the music

I'm not a fan of the music nor the program but I'm rooting big time for him!!

Up and onwards Daniil to get to Nats! Best of luck!!

That's Asada's opening.

I want to see a mix of Rach 2 and Bells of Moscow someday.

 

[niks]

Daniil's previous PB was 224.

This competition is his PB? Glad to hear that! He and his coach looked very happy with the score

Hope this motivates him to keep going strong!

1) Vanya has already competed this season and I'm pretty sure it was not Rachmaninoff
2) I'm afraid he might miss nationals again.

 

[EdgeCall]

Rach is always a fitting intro to a bloodbath.

 

[AlexBreeze]

This competition is his PB?

Of course. He has never attempted multiple quads before.

 

[niks]

Of course. He has never attempted multiple quads before.

Right that clearly explains it

Yagudin: I release there's nothing perfect in this life but this landing was perfect.

 

[KhinSuShein]

ohlala i am late today !forgot to watch time and was busy with my work too! today time changed we are 1 hours in advance!

 

[EdgeCall]

One pop but the rest was good. Something of a redemption.

I've almost seen the last combo as 3A-3A-2A. That would be something indeed.

 

[yume]

Seems like Zhenya quaded his way to the top.

Loved that spread eagle.

 

[thatdarncat]

woo hoo, well done Zhenya

 

[Pairluv]

Nice redemption skate by Semenenko.

 

[AlexBreeze]

I'm pazzled

Well to sum up
1) Zhenya has attempted 4F four times so far. And all of them were perfect. I'm glad he gave up the Lutz.
2) Zhenya doesn't look like himself. I wonder what happened. Two weeks ago he almost landed six quads in a program. Acclimatization? Illness?

 

[AlexBreeze]

This is probably enough for the podium but won't be close to gold.
