2025-26 Russian Grand Prix - Stage 5 - Omsk

[KhinSuShein]

Ohh no ...

 

[AlexBreeze]

Dikidzhi adding flip to his SP is the most pointless content decision of the season. I just don't understand it.

 

[yume]

Since when does Vlad bomb an SP?

 

[Mathematician]

Well, Vlad—none of us are perfect. We're glad you didn't save it for Nats...

 

[lariko]

I think ISU wouldn't have allowed Mironova/Ustenko's program because mist of it is not upbeat/diskoteka at all.

 

[AlexBreeze]

Since when does Vlad bomb an SP?

Since he and Tataurov decided the 4F is a good idea.

I. just. don't. understand.

It's both inconsistent and has edge problem.

Dikidzhi adding flip to his SP is the most pointless content decision of the season. I just don't understand it.

I mean, he might as well try at stages. He qualifies for everything anyways.

He said he wants to reach maximum SP content before he starts thinking about 4A. I guess he is working for this goal. If he is thinking long term for internationals it isn't that pointless.

It's pointless because the 4F with an edge call isn't better than the 4S.

 

[flanker]

Vlad starting with pop, but not bad after.

 

[Pairluv]

That opening combo was so good and then to double. Serious mistake in the SP, but I love this kid. I won't fan the flames of the fanwars because I agree with the RUSFED's decision, but it grieves me that there can be only one at the Os.

 

[thatdarncat]

Even Vlad misses sometimes, wasn't expecting that.

 

[flanker]

PB but I am curious if the TP dealt with him properly

I'll rewatch later but IMO he rotated everything today.

 

[AlexBreeze]

I'd put Dikidzhi behind Mozalev in PCS.

 

[flanker]

I'd put Dikidzhi behind Mozalev in PCS.

And Dimitriev's PCS are too low.

 

[EdgeCall]

Zhenia's search for the right hairstyle seems to turn into a soap opera.

 

[thatdarncat]

At least Andre finished fourth, I thought all was lost. Fingers crossed he has a good skate tomorrow .

 

[Pairluv]

I wait each week to see Medvedeva's hair. What a versatile cut.

 

[Mathematician]

It's pointless because the 4F with an edge call isn't better than the 4S.

He needs the practice, I guess, if he wants to fix it for his long-term goals. No better place to try it than a stage that doesn't matter at all anyways.

I'll rewatch later but IMO he rotated everything today.

I mean, I don't like judging by the pick but it's how the panel does it, so:

This jump may become more consistent but the risk of getting called will not go away. At the same time, I don't see much PCS improvement.

 

[Mathematician]

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

Increased GOE on 4T and 3A.

Petr got no rotation or edge calls this time.
