They talked way too much through Petrov skate. I couldn't concentrate on music....

 

[anonymoose_au]

I've just realised the stripes on Petrov's tie are sequinned, that's adorable!

Gosh, look at the TES, he needs to put a quad in if he's going to get to the top. :noshake:

 

[Alchamei]

I wonder how will Kovtun do... I don't want him to do well, I want other skaters to go to Euros, sorry...

 

[RemyRose]

but kind of weird, Samarin looks and has similar style to Kovtun
maybe he will get jealous or angry at himself.

Seriously? He has a lot more going on than to be paying attention to Samarin.

 

[tyrolean skates]

I guess that falls on a step sequence are extremely painful because the happen so unexpected- you can`t react quickly enough to avoid a hard fall......

 

[anonymoose_au]

All right here's Maxim...

Is TAT gonna have to step outside to take a moment?

 

[Alchamei]

Jesus that opening choero still gets me.

 

[sabinfire]

GF nervously watching in audience.

 

[Tyranid]

Petrov gets buried:

TAT: every figure skater needs to have their own trick. The foreigners (Japan, USA, Canada, etc) show tricks such as multiple quads.

Trankov: Petrov's trick is the absence of quads.

Grishin: That's a bad trick.

TAT: If quad master - Mishin, can't fix this, then nobody can.

Petrov is doomed forever.

 

[tyrolean skates]

I Keep my fingers crossed - come on, Maxim!!

 

[Alchamei]

Kovtun is perfect so far! :shocked:

 

[anonymoose_au]

Jesus that opening choero still gets me.

I know is he throwing his heart away or something?

Also he looked terrified, but he did the quad so maybe he'll be OK this program.

 

[EdgeCall]

Nice quad for starters.

 

[Alchamei]

Oh dear, it will be hard for Sergej and Samrin to hold up...

 

[anonymoose_au]

Oh right this is the program with the voice over in the middle.

I hate those...I really do.

But Maxim is doing really well! Perhaps the short program was the kick in the pants he needed?

 

[Alchamei]

Kovtun is being... Well, Kovtun

 

[Biellmann]

Just when i thought Kovtun is going to be clean....

 

[sabinfire]

Maxim... flashes of brilliance in mostly mediocrity. He was doing so well too!
