Good lord. He is amazing. No there is no word for his performance here. Wow. Now I want him for Sochi!

Russians should have sent him to faux London not young fragile Kovtun.

 

[Ziggy]

Liebers had nice flow and great job on the jumps but he needs to work on his performance skills.

Menshov skated clean! I can't believe it! First time ever? GREAT JOB!

 

[qwertyskates]

Disgraceful what they gave Menshov for PCS! :disapp:

 

[CaroLiza_fan]

Peter's lead is going to be short lived. That was brilliant Konstantin!!!

I love Brian, but unless he pulls everything out, I don't think he's going to be able to do anything about that. :disapp:

[Florencito]

Wow clean Menshov! Amazing!

 

[Ziggy]

Shot of Tarasova looking REALLY PISSED OFF after Menshov's performance.

She must be worried of Kovtun losing to that.

Nooo I missed that!

 

[MaiKatze]

Since I saw Menshov live at NRW Trophy 2012 I've been a fan. His jumps are just WOW when on. I'm so happy he did well here! Unfortunately I don't think it will do him any good regarding Sochi.

 

[snowflake]

Menshov beat his FS personal best with 15 points and the total with 14 points. He's 31 but looks young, not at all "worn out" Hope he keeps on skating :thumbsup:

Yes, she wasn't a happy lady


What was the comment about Menshov that a few made after his short? worn out? Hardly

 

[Kirk]

at Joubert saying "pas mal" after he finished.
He deserves a great farewell at sochi.

I missed most skates but so happy for Menshov.
