2025-26 Russian Grand Prix - Stage 2 - Krasnoyarsk

[AlexBreeze]

Kinda a meltdown for Ilya. I don't even know what happened. He is usually pretty solid.

lunch break, see you later

I like Grisha's program and music, felt he was more performance engaged last week than this, maybe the freak stumble / fall affected him but even before that he was a bit too much focused on the elements than on his performance delivery

Still a pretty good score for him considering the fall

Welcome to contemporary-classical. It could be 10/10 beautiful but incomprehensibly meaningless atonality must always rear its ugly head.

 

[niks]

There was a mistake there, wasn't it? I clearly heard the announcer call for Daniil Samsonov but someone else is skating there

Yes, he apologized.

 

[AlexBreeze]

The 4Lz attempt looked absolutely hopeless. But he fought to do the rest cleanly.

 

[KhinSuShein]

SAMSONOV too struggling now, last year he obtained the better results.

 

[niks]

And now yes, on the second try we do have Daniil with us on the ice

 

[Skating91]

Change of coach has not worked

 

[AlexBreeze]

Danya had Mission Impossible, didn't he? Why did they change it, everyone liked it.

 

[QueenOfTheRoad]

I have always difficulty to connect with Samsonov‘s programs….

 

[AlexBreeze]

I guess it's difficult for men to do two stages in a row.

 

[Mathematician]

Ugozhaev is gaining confidence. His arms and torso look wayyy better.

 

[niks]

I liked Daniil, nice performance and he managed not to fall, which is already quite something today

Svetlana's group has overall quite nice programs this season

Oh, but it looked like Daniil was hurting after the skate? Hope nothing bad is going on

Also, not really sure about his score, seems a bit low relatively speaking to the rest of today's field, though of course the pop must be costly

 

[KhinSuShein]

I watched the vlog of alina zagitova yesterday - the interval between 2 GP was too short - but what i dont understand is that why they registered themselves in 2 GPs Back to back?

 

[AlexBreeze]

Tbh, Misha deserved to win the SP. Kolya didn't fully rotate the quads IMO.

 

[flanker]

Not bad by Ugo, but he must be tired a lot.

 

[niks]

The recitation in the first half of Nikolay's program is quite annoying to be honest Wish he would have something different. The second half is better.

Tech was a bit of a mixed bag and performance was not there unfortunately Someone who also performed better last week. Maybe doing back to back stages is getting to them.
