2025-26 Russian Grand Prix - Stage 2 - Krasnoyarsk

[KhinSuShein]

I like Nikolay Ugozhaev and Grigory FEDOROV, also Matvey VETLUGIN in this GP (also of course Petr Gumennick/Vladislav Dikidzhi). However they all still need to improve in consistency /robustness , for example in hydroblade gliding they can't compare to Yuzuru Hanyu.

And that's all for the Men SP!

Must say, I enjoyed last week stage better overall, but I'm glad that Misha Polyansky is second so far. That's a surprise (to me at least because I didn't know him ) but he did left me one of the biggest impressions of today with his movement range.

And I see that Melnikov is third..... who I also don't know about..... but now I remember for his aquamarine custome !

All this is very unexpected to me

Sad to see on the other hand Andrey, Daniil and specially Matvey quite low in the standings. Davai to them for redemption skates in the FS!!

I wish Butenko a nice debut in a new partnership. Let's go guys.

Powerful performance, well done.

Interesting as Valiera's dress looks, but the red blotches are irritating, they look like wounds.

I liked Khodykina/Butenko a lot.

She seems to be Ciri from The Witcher.

Is it supposed to be theme? TBH, I don't really see the resemblance here.

Nice jumping elements.

Great unusual program and costumes with interesting ideas.

Unfortunately the StSq and lift weren't too good but they are a very new team.

I don't know what happened between Varvara and Daniil so they split mid-season but I love seeing him continuing. He's short for a pair skater, but he worked a lot on his strength. The twist was big.

Also nice to see Denis' sister in a partnership that finally works for her.

The music was The Witcher 3 soundtrack.

Arnoldina Terminatressa Maxima.

 

[EdgeCall]

Classically stylish.

 

[Mathematician]

I love this program for these two!

Something I notice: the woman has much more success landing throws when she gets enormous height.
