oh my gosh, it's just a sad year, isn't it?

Kamila Valieva can't appear at the event as it's organised by the Federation. She skated separately and Channel One filmed this.

I am sorry, what Scherbakova/Goncharov skate to? Was there no better choice for a solemn event than cussing words in the title of a song?

Yes, that's why I marked YouTube as replay.

The live broadcast is also on VK.

Omigosh, they have Grishin announcing skaters. I'll need tissues

Not only announcing, but they also have Grishin's comments on skaters after their performances.

It's very hard emotionally. Sofia M and Arthur could barely hold back tears while listening to him after they finished skating.

Sasha Grishin's wife and mother (I think) are there. So much strength to them. It's incredibly sad what happened to Sasha, really wish he could still be with us and especially of course, with his family.

It is very moving. Here is the soul of Russian skating, Frolova.

It is very moving. Here is the soul of Russian skating, Frolova.

I'll have to wait for the Youtube replay with translations to understand what he is saying. But even without understanding the words and without being there, you can barely hold back tears yourself. It's a very heartfelt tribute and I'm really glad they are doing this for Sasha. Hope it also helps as much as possible his family healing.

 

[lariko]

Yes, it's amazing because you can really hear how he was with the skaters in the moments of their biggest triumphs and still watches over them. We'll all miss him.

 

[lariko]

My gosh, Kolyada was sublime.

 

[niks]

My gosh, Kolyada was sublime.

Misha is still Misha no matter how many years it has been now since he retired. He looks well and his talent shines through. I quite miss him so it always feels like a lucky chance to see him skating, no matter the circumstances.

There were many poignant performances also worth of mention. And the joint end, with all skaters solemnly leaving candles at Sasha's photo.

Such a dignified, moving tribute all along. It's rather cold here but I just opened the windows now that it finished, I needed some fresh air to overcome the emotion left.

Rest in peace, Sasha
