2025-26 Russian Grand Prix - Stage 5 - Omsk

[AlexBreeze]

Zhenya mentioned that he still has pain in his injured knee on the toe loop sometimes.

(Wave) I tuned in to hear Mozalev popped something again, so I am starting with the start, not live stuff, and boy, if there is one RD program that I like this year it's Shichina/Drozd.

Popped 3A. Quads were solid this time.

I was kinda expecting another kpop moment with this costume. Not a bad music choice though. More rock in FS please.
Lol you're not fooling anyone with that slide, we saw the step-out
Good combo!

 

[flanker]

Semenenko had some troubles too.

 

[AlexBreeze]

Pity about mistake but the combo and 3A were better than in Moscow. It was fine considering his shape.

 

[KhinSuShein]

Except 1st jump he skated well.

 

[Mathematician]

Semenenko locked in towards the end. The spin was so fast.

 

[Pairluv]

This is such a good SP for Semenenko. He doesn't look as fragile as he did last week. I take it he's recovered from his illness.

Better from Zhenya, I like this program, I always think its great when skaters use music they like.

 

[AlexBreeze]

Not a bad music choice though. More rock in FS please.

He says he was shocked nobody used both K-Pop and Nirvana in a competition program.

If you are interested, the steps and presentation were better at his first stage.

 

[lariko]

Popped 3A. Quads were solid this time.

That's my Mozalev!

 

[KhinSuShein]

He seems to be surprised to get such a good scores!

 

[Mathematician]

Better from Zhenya, I like this program, I always think its great when skaters use music they like.

I don't know if he's a huge Nirvana fan in themselves, but he chose this as an ode to his favourite video games which both featured Nirvana's music.

 

[flanker]

So how about Daniik.

 

[AlexBreeze]

Semenenko locked in towards the end. The spin was so fast.

I'm biased but he probably has best non-jumping elements among Russian men right now. His combo spin has always been good enough but I don't remember camel and sit spins being so fast.

TES went higher, were the steps rewatched to level four?

 

[KhinSuShein]

Ohh no!

 

[flanker]

We have Axel pop day today...

 

[yume]

Now that's a quad out of nowhere. I didn't see it coming.
And a pop on 3A....

 

[flanker]

So the team change paid off, right Daniik?

 

[Mathematician]

And a pop on 3A....

Unfortunately I saw that one coming. Poor speed on a spread-eagle entry is hopeless.
