2017-18 State of Russian Men's skating
- Thread starter puremagic
- Start date
A performance like his FS at WTT could be enough to win here, so technically he can win this considering also the high bv of his program.
I'm lowering my expectations because i know he's not the most consistent skater in the world, and the way they saved Javi makes me believe that he is still in the conversation.

He'll have to get to like it. You can't simultaneously be successful and not have to deal with the pressure of being the leader. I think he learned that last season about being the Russian Champion. Now it's time to extend it to bigger things.

Kolyada's 4 LZ https://twitter.com/mkm5810/status/926426811675820034 unbelieveable!

According to him, yes, and he is planning to skate at SA. But he seems to be concentrating on anything except training at the moment. With Aliev and Samarin hungry for that Olympic spot he should really take things more seriously.
3 medals at 3 GP events, Kolyada qualified for GPF, Erokhov and Ignatov for JGPF.
The state of russian men's skating is looking good after all.
Considering how RusFed was pissed last season at WTT that Russia didn't won because of Kovtun i'm not expecting huge gifts for him at Nationals.

I hope this isn't Maxim deciding he's had enough figure skating and internally giving up.

So Sergei just won NHK. Huge congrats! 
There are already two Russian Men who won GP event this season, I'll say not bad 
I am little sad that Dmitri has not deliverd at either of his event tough, was hoping he'll get the Olympic spot...

Dima unfortunately lost ground because of his injury. It is what it is. He wanted to compete & didn't want to water down his content...but he has some time now to rest and get back in form.
Sergei showed how a real Russian champion should skate, no falls or pops, maybe not the most transitions or tech content but you have to respect him for reaching new heights at 30. And he deserves that Olys spot.

Sergei was awesome - you just don't need to belittle other skaters while praising him. :agree:
We should be really celebrating. It's awesome that another Russian man is rising to the challenge, and two GP golds for the Russian men doesn't happen every year.

I hope Dima will recover soon then. He's definitely my favourite from recently-turned-senior male skaters. I don't want him to be like my other favourites who just can't live up to their potential, it's too heartbreaking.
Pretty sure that if Sergei skates like he did in Japan at Russian Nationals, he will get spot. He's definitely shown he's got it all to be competetive.

Sergei will get a spot at Euros. He'll have to skate well there too before a final decision on the Olympic spots is made. Aliev's job #1 right now is to do well enough at Nationals to get a spot at Euros as well.
Was there anybody out there who actually thought even for a fleeting second, at the beginning of the season, that the Russian men would win not one but two gold medals on the GP circuit? It's like we've entered some parallel universe 
Interesting facts:
The last time the Russian men won two gold medals on the GP circuit was the 2014-15 season when Maxim Kovtun won in China and France.
The last time two different Russian men won gold medals was all the way back to the 2002-03 season when Evgeni won in Russia and Ilia Klimkin in Japan.
They were handed opportunity on a silver platter and took them. Well done men!

Now it’s a golden platter!! All of a sudden Russia is like Japan or something!Was there anybody out there who actually thought even for a fleeting second, at the beginning of the season, that the Russian men would win not one but two gold medals on the GP circuit?
