2015-2016 Russian Nationals Mens FS

[HanDomi]

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

1 x 3A, 3 quads in 1st half only, no 3-3 combo

 

[MsLiinaLii]

I just wonder why this 4T is coming that hard, I thought with Mishin getting this 4T will be bussiness

Tbh last season Petrov was inconsistent. Maybe this season they decided to focus on that and then with quad

He did one combination and zero flips?

 

[paperhearts]

He seems so happy! But I still dislike this program. He should win, congrats. After a rough skate at NHK he comes back at Nats.

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

Oooh, I just realized that he's put the loop back in his jumps inventory.

 

[Shayuki]

Oh right, he only had 1 combo. Well eh... Why is that, considering that he had more than enough good jumps to add some?

 

[Sugarpova]

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.

its heard by the sound that its switches on & off

 

[HanDomi]

3 quads +4 triples only, that says all why TES is only 84

 

[Lota]

I'm glad he dealt with the pressure so well. He said in yesterday's interview that the pressure is immense.

 

[Sugarpova]

oh TAT dont lie
The Fed doesnt like ALL sportsmen

 

[Weathergal]

I am happy for him but that drunken looking choreography! So loved that they showed Tat! Her reaction was so funny!

 

[paperhearts]

That spin position truly was...something! It wasn't good but it was something. Otherwise, great quads and jumps etc etc.

 

[Icey]

Surprised Tat is so excited about that

 

[NicolettaL]

Tat's reaction after this FP is life

 

[anonymoose_au]

He has quite a cheer section though, so I guess Maxim's quite popular in Russia.

But seriously, if he did terribly would TAT actually draw attention to it? Or would she kind of downplay it?

I'm gonna say it, I wonder if Plushy is watching and if so what he thinks of all this. I mean three quads, yikes.

 

[Shayuki]

LOL I just started pointing at my screen and laughing hysterically when I saw that PCS.

Its his hometown

 

[MsLiinaLii]

I hate to hate someone's skating, but with Kovtun I do... and TAT commenting that this program is great and Maxim is amazing etc is just meeehhh

Adian looked really hurt. I know what a back problems are and you really can hardly jump but he did his best. Sad to see him 9th cause I really feel he is a future star

3 quads, and 4 triples...and only one combo. -There are still some big holes in the program to fill. -But still, defending a nationals title is not easy so congrats Kovtun!

 

[snowflake]

Congrats to Maxim and the other medalists... and to Gordei; one place better than last season. Third next christmas then

Tarasova is really heated up. Happy for her.
