Thank you Tutto and Perdita! Mika looks so cute next to Javi, they have kind of a similar smile :love:

And nice to read all the praise from Nobu - Nobu knows what he's talking about :cheer:

Can't wait for russian nationals and to see Mika and his fun programs again!

He's at Moscow now. I suppose he's on the way to Yekaterinburg.

I'm amazed by the beaty of the city. It just made me consider traveling to Russia next year ;)

Thanks for the links! You may want to look at St Petersburg it is even more beautiful.
Here is the translation of comments to 2nd instagram above:
-That was our day yesterday.
-All roads lead to (Rome) skating rink?
- Yes, skaters find the ice anywhere :)

Mika has been praised by Plushenko in today's interview:
http://www.sports.ru/others/figure-skating/1035690232.html

A short summary:

'Kovtun telegraphing his axel while Mikhail Kolyada jumps like Victor Petrenko, Aleksei Urmanov & Aleksei Yagudin did. I want judges to assess the jumps correctly and not make any allowances for Kovtun. We have very good skaters Pitkeev & Kolyada and the judging should be fair.

You've not got any snow either? Nor we. I love snow... We will suffer, snowless, together.... (sad sigh)

No snow where I live either :sad21:

Good luck to Mika! Hopefully he can skate to his potential, make the podium and earn a trip to Europeans! :clap:
And it's nice to hear Plush saying something nice about him :love:

Good luck to Mika! Men's short program starting at 12pm Moscow time tomorrow, the long is on Friday. A nerve wrecking Xmas ahead thanks to Russian Nationals! :) Will be keeping fingers (and toes) crossed. Go Mika!

No snow in Ireland either (thank God) but the storm named Eva approaching the West (this is the 5th named storm for the last two months) hopefully Eva will be kinder than Desmond (No 4)

Good luck Mika!!!! Wishing him the very very best!!

He drew #2. Better to get it done before the nerve gets him. (But please give him PCS he deserves!) The draw was livestreamed on Periscope. Mika was confused as to which boxes to choose from and that was cute :eek::

Oh Tutto, that sounds horrible. Hope you well!

I highly recommend you to watch the second one with the first one played as a background since there were lots of expressions and choreography in his performance tonight :yes:

If you go to Kovtun's periscope, you can watch a bit of the top three men before the press conference.

ETA: He'll skate at the third of the last group tomorrow. Kovtun is the last one to skate.
