2013 Russian Nationals Men

Good score for Voronov. His jumps were very nice.

Artur did not have a good skate at all. His jumps seemed to have abandon him lately.
I hope he can do better in his FS.

Sergey VORONOV
SP score: 87.69 and into 1st

Inflated, but then again... everone's scores are.

It is common for nationals. See result of Japan or Canada - the same thing.

Good score for Voronov. His jumps were very nice.

but not his spins

Yes his spins were not great, but it is Christmas Day so I decided to focus on the positive. lol

I am curious if Kovtun can beat them all. I think he is the most talented russian skater.

Voronov's score is laughable, an 87 for that ???? Voronov's PCS is 41 , that's ridiculous !, higher than Kovtun , Menshov and Gachinski

disappointed by Kovtun and Petrov , first time they have fallen on lutzes this season
Gachinski is hopeless, he should retire after nationals

This is what people said last year at nationals too and he performed brilliantly an Euros. He has some issues I hope he works out but he is so young to consider retirement.

 

[sky_fly20]

Kolyada gets a 74 with a 2A ????

 

[plushyfan]

Go Plushy, go!!!! Go!!!

Mikhail was like a breath of fresh air, loved his SP! He looks very young, how old is he?

Well done Zhenya

overall splatfest, I hope the ladies dont ahve this tommorow, I notice the ice is too shiny, is it thin ?
disappointed by Petrov and Kovtun's scores
Kolyada, Gachinski and Vornov are a joke, lol

 

[Mirunna]

Who cares about the empty program, "plushenko steps" and everything this man is a legend and I always, always have a great time watching him skate. The air of confidence he has is simply amazing. I have no words
Oh, and I think he could land a quad even with a broken leg
give him 100 points
