2024-25 Russian Grand Prix - Stage 1 - Magnitogorsk

[yume]

Last season men were really exciting. I hope the same competitiveness this season.

 

[yume]

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

He bombed the SP so bad?

It will be much better. The early competitions were something else.

 

[AlexBreeze]

He bombed thevSP so bad?

Not so bad. He was 4.5 pts behind the leader. But Mark and Kolya will be better likely. Two quads won't be enough.

 

[yume]

I'm pazzled

2) Zhenya doesn't look like himself. I wonder what happened. Two weeks ago he almost landed six quads in a program. Acclimatization? Illness?

Which competition?

 

[yume]

Men are quadding today.

 

[EdgeCall]

What a statement.

 

[thatdarncat]

Well done Igor, love the shirt!

 

[niks]

Vanya's first jump was wild. He recovered afterwards but still was quite disappointed with the score

Zhenya recovered from the SP and delivered a good technical program. But I thought the tech took away from him to be able to express artistically. Or maybe it was the pressure after the SP, I don't know. He skated well but I felt he was too focused on delivering each element that he couldn't really perform the program in itself, and that's a pity

 

[katymay]

The jumps are the hard part, which he can do, but needs lots of work on skating skills. (Igor, not Zhenya)

 

[AlexBreeze]

Which competition?

Panin Memorial.

Ugozhaev, Lutfullin and Semenenko got above 300 (domestic scoring though) in a total bloodbath.

Men are very ready for this season. Egor already had an event with a better skate.

 

[yume]

Slumdog millionaire? I approve.

Will go see if replays are avalaible.

Yes, there's a separate thread with all the info.

 

[yume]

You're not giving enough Deepika Padukone Mark.

 

[EdgeCall]

Mark kills it. Only one turnout.

Is it just me or do his jumps look not quite as chaotic as before?

 

[Pairluv]

Whoa, Mark. That was crazy and he maintained the theme of the program besides all the quads.

 

[katymay]

Not a fan of purple skirts, but that was really really something.

 

[AlexBreeze]

Mark kills it. Only one turnout.

Is it just me or do his jumps look not quite as chaotic as before?

They do but I expect some calls. At least edge on the flip and possible q on the first 4S.
