Boo...

(That was rude. I'm sorry.)

 

[snowflake]

if Kovtun fails Petrov gonna win this without quad

That would be so funny.... Even a Russian man without quad on the podium would be amusing.

 

[HanDomi]

that spin position was :rofl2:

 

[paperhearts]

One of my favorite things about Kovtun skating is Tat's reaction whenever he lands jumps.

 

[lost3iron]

Hahahaha I can imagine your face all naughty while writing this

 

[anonymoose_au]

TAT giving a little shriek when Maxim landed that jump.

This is kind of a huge conflict of interest though, it'd be like having Orser commentate while Yuzu's out there.

 

[Shayuki]

Wow Kovtun with some ...extraordinary spins.

 

[Sugarpova]

lmao at TAT muting the microphone but her 'YAAAAAAAAAA' still heard through Grishin's one

 

[cheerknithanson]

Wow Kovtun with some ...extraordinary spins.

Explain what you mean by extraordinary.

 

[NicolettaL]

This prerotations tho...

 

[Greta]

Ugh, this program. Good for him for handling the pressure so well, but I feel like he is trying to be expressive and just looks weird instead.

 

[Bumdid]

What kind of sins have the figure skating community committed that we have to watch Kovtuns FS over and over again?

 

[ElenaClaire]

Haha aw good job!

 

[paperhearts]

The lagging stream is rendering me unable to appreciate this masterpiece! Agh...

18 Maxim KOVTUN

Music: Selection of music by Ludwig van Beethoven

Purple vest, white blouse, black pants

4S - bit scratchy, maybe <
4T
4S+2T - ok, bit wonky 2T (twofoot?)
CSSp
CCoSp3p
3A
3Lz
3Lo - hangs on
StSq
ChSp
3S
2A
FUSp

Some scratchy landings (and only 1 combo), but overall strong skate enough for the win. He stomps/fistpumps of joy (Tarasova and girlfriend, too)

FS: 79.86+93.22 = 173.08, 266.13, 1/17

 

[Sugarpova]

well at least we have Misha & Sasha !
Such great results Im even OK with Kovtun

 

[anonymoose_au]

Actually...are they muting TAT when Kovtun lands jumps just so she won't break the sound barrier, because it sounds like they are sometimes.

I'm not sure what Maxim's going for here...it's...weird.

And this piece needs a more dynamic footwork sequence I feel...

 

[silverfoxes]

He's not my favorite but that's the best I've ever seen him skate. Good job Max!

LOOOL TAT's face

 

[HanDomi]

84 TES, that was perfect example how to make layout hard for yourself but make it not effective at all

 

[Shayuki]

Why is his TES so unbelievably low despite 3 good quads?
