2024-25 Senior Grand Prix Final Men's Free Skate

[GGFan]

Mikhail has a ton of PCS stuff to work on but I love the energy he infuses into the competition. Some of those jumps are SO satisfying.

(Are his combos gonna force Ilia to come out with some crazy combo next season? )

Shaidorov could have done better but still deserves appreciation.

The concept of this program is as much of a strugglebus as my internet connection right now.

The concept is epic, because both pieces are performed by epic in epic version or something like this. So, it is fairly simple, stirring epic music to carry him to epic skating.

Mikhail. Great outfit and program. Great skate.

Judges seem to have really hammered him on levels. That, plus the fall, mean that they will give it to Shun Sato on PCS. Still has the potential to take the European title if Adam Sao Him Fa's poor form continues.

 

[Dawn825]

Good jumps, but does nothing for me as a performer. I hope Shun medals.

 

[Seven Sisters]

Give him another season or two, I predict that this will be the next guy to land a 4A.

He reminds me so much of the Ilia of maybe two seasons ago.

 

[Karoltyna]

Did Adam do his voodoo today too?

he needs to practice his shaman skills, but I see some potential

 

[elektra blue]

Read DAVAI as DIVA. Both apply?

ahahah he's so shy though

Unlike his coach.

OMG Take on me ??? after Beethoven LOL

now i know you like Righini (i know you meant Urmanov though)

 

[Ares]

The 3A-Euler-4S combination of Shaidorov was majestic, today he only made one obvious mistake - he fell on the opening jump - 4Lz - two quads might have rotation questioned. And I think he has improved a lot in areas that are marked in PCS in last two seasons.

 

[Kris135]

I hope Ilia does not go crazy just to prove he is boss. He has done this in the past,

 

[NoNameFace]

I like Mikhail. He has bravado and seems like a chill young guy (story with fever he told in CoC )

 

[snowflake]

Whished to see Urmanov by his side here... way to go Mikhail

A-ha was the best part of this

 

[YuBluByMe]

Shaidorov absolutely made the most of his opportunity. He definitely put his name out there, regardless where he ends up in the standings. Well done!

He is not European.

LOL, I realize you don’t intend it as so, but that would be such an insult to direct to a skater, IMO.

 

[bartlebooth]

Misha wears braces? How cute!

 

[Seven Sisters]

Plus, the braces. I find that completely endearing for some reason

He’s such a baby!

Audience booing, you’ve got to love the French

 

[Vemvane]

Mikhail's 3A-1Eu-4S is an astonishing feat of athleticism. Well done to him for getting it done after having fallen on his opening jump - lots of resilience to be able to get up, put that behind him and go for his novel combination. The relief to finish the jumping passes and the smile and release as he went into the step sequence was endearing, and a reminder of how much focus the jumps take. Audience does not like his score at all.
