Wow, the most technically strong I've ever seen him: one quad, 2 triple axels and 5 other triples. He seems pleased.

FS: 73.60+63.52 = 137.12 (PB), 201.45, in 1st (out of 9)

Sounds like Balde can move up several spots.

I hope they don't stop it before the last few skaters, the way they did the women yesterday


They are back on

Yeah, high score. He did land 2 3A and had a 3-3 combo. For a moment I thought the program was going to come completely undone after the hard fall on the quad & popping the loop. Don't think he'll move up much though.
He was adorably happy with that gift :)

He really sustained that program from beginning to end-----really alive at the end.

What´s the name of the Russian commentator on Xsport? I heard the name Zagorodnyuk. Is it really the former Ukrainian figure skater?

Nan Nguyen... A name to remember. So he's been skating junior? Finished 16th in his last JGP? Wow. What an unexpectedly good performance. He's so young and tiny too! I felt he tried to hard to 'look senior' what with the heavy funeral music. Hopefully he'll grow a bit and his jumps grow with him...

Yes, it's Viacheslav Zagorodniuk and Xsport is Ukrainian channel, not Russian.

Oh, is it the Ukrainian language?
Well... Right now Zagorodniuk is speaking Russian, so you were right about the language. I don't know if he even knows Ukrainian. It's an official language there but most people speak Russian, though.

ETA: but you can hear Ukrainian language in commercials between skates :)
