2025-26 Russian Grand Prix - Stage 5 - Omsk

[niks]

Oh my, the skater opening the second warm-up, he may be ahead in TES but completely lacks any sort of performance or artistic skills .... was quite shocked to be honest, I'm not used to see this in Russian men, there is usually some sort of "minimum" lets say....

And he goes into the lead actually... And he trains with Plushenko? artistic skills can't really be "taught" but Plushenko surely knew how to perform for one thing... surely some improvement can be done here....

Another good skate by Dimitriev. Except for the pop on the 3A, that was good and he kept the energy for the entire program. And he made Dudakov laugh before he skated. I didn't know he knew how.

 

[EdgeCall]

I appreciate it when the boys do not leave all the hard rock to the ladies, but why do they then do such non-committing choreo?

Good skate otherwise.

 

[yume]

Not bad at all. Aside Gleb, men are not cacting today.

I'm quite surprised they gave him 7th in PCS.

Average AoP man nowadays unfortunately. His elder brother was much more artistic.

Sarnovskiy had that youthful ardor semi-junior skate with a respectable content load but didn't have enough ardor to bring it in.

 

[yume]

Beautiful eyelashes Andrei.

 

[flanker]

Axels Axels, what a plague...

 

[flanker]

Andrei is testing my nerves.

 

[Pairluv]

Double fake gun from Mozalev. Gotta love a good fake gun in an Bond program.

 

[lariko]

I keep thinking Dmitriev is a pair skater in tne making but he delivers solid single performances.

Now, do I want to watch Mozalev or just take a break?

 

[EdgeCall]

Phew, a mixed bag. Someone should remind Andrei that his license to kill applies to Rinky too.

 

[yume]

Just when i said men were not cacting....

 

[thatdarncat]

Andre a bit messy, he gets the quad then loses the Axel

 

[niks]

Oh Andrey! those falls will cost him greatly

 

[AlexBreeze]

I wonder what happens to men's qual. Dimitriev made it to the top 5. They might give him nationals ahead of Soloviov even with one stage...

 

[Mathematician]

Are they allowed to do that? The rules specifically state whoever has more cumulative score qualifies. I don't see a special clause for skaters who only perform once.

 

[flanker]

Vlad Quades!

 

[lariko]

Mozalev the usual. Gorgeous skating, not enough jumping... good thing he had already a 4th place.

 

[niks]

Can't Plushenko's guy give a bit of his tech (jumps only actually) to Andrey? Pretty please?
