2025-26 Russian Grand Prix - Stage 1 - Magnitogorsk

[Skating91]

Men aren't menning today

 

[AlexBreeze]

This 3A looked like it could be a quad one.

 

[Skating91]

Bravo I really enjoyed that

 

[Mariiiiskate]

Loss of spin levels are going to cost him a lot but so nice to see Tema going clean

 

[flanker]

Kovalev also solid today.

 

[Mathematician]

Incredible from Kovalev. I've never seen him open up so much like this. He really locked in towards the end with the choreo. Jumps well executed if not perfect. How tall is he does anyone know for sure? Like, is there an official number?

I see spins tend to be a little tougher for men, than women?

 

[Pairluv]

Good for Artem. he was so into that skate.

 

[Jontor]

Great skate from Fedorov!

And it seems Kovalev is back in old form!

 

[AlexBreeze]

I'm so happy for Artem. It was very sad to see him on crutches two years ago. I doubted that he would ever be able to return.

Commentators say that he broke a blade and had to replace it urgently. Today he is skating with two different ones.

 

[Mariiiiskate]

Lets go Roman

 

[flanker]

Roman Savosin is delivering today.

 

[Pairluv]

Not sure about the stash on Roman, but a nice clean skate except for the wonky landing on the 3A. This is a different look and feel from his usual skating

 

[AlexBreeze]

I've never seen him open up so much like this.

I saw him like this live a few years ago. His energy was incredible.

How tall is he does anyone know for sure? Like, is there an official number?

190 cm

I see spins tend to be a little tougher for men, than women?

Most men start learning multiple ultra-c jumps in early age and often spend less time on spins. Artem's spins are clearly affected by his height too.

 

[Jontor]

Solid skate from Savosin!

I was afraid there for a minute that the mustasch would be too much weight...

 

[Mariiiiskate]

Roman

he is such an enjoyable skater to watch so so happy he continues to compete . I love his short

 

[Mathematician]

Absolutely gorgeous program and skating from Freddie M. Well done keeping hand off ice on the 3A. I love the music—Bosso should never, ever be compared to Einaudi.

 

[Mathematician]

190 cm

I thought I heard 188 last season

 

[AlexBreeze]

First Karenin of this event, Let's go Semion!

 

[AlexBreeze]

Smell like no nationals again

 

[Mariiiiskate]

Semion not steady on his ultra c landings today unfortunetly
