Never thought I would say this but Sergei saved the day, LOL

Well done Sergei! A clean skate, finally!

... Is this an alternate universe? Is Voronov actually winning this? Will the lightning strike twice and Brezina lose his final ticket? Am I drunk?

Shoma was waywayway overmarked. I hate it!

 

[Mrs. P]

The uncles save the men yet again. First Brezina and now, let us not forget, REIGNING NHK CHAMPION SERGEI VORONOV.

 

[Sai Bon]

Well, if Sergei is 31, there is hope for Dai yet!

 

[NoNameFace]

Show'em like Alena earlier how it is done in Silver Foxy Land!!!

 

[frida80]

Still showing them how it's done! Go Sergei!

 

[Kittosuni]

Sergei Voronov

- Got out the 4T+3T, a bit slow on the 3T but still well-performed (+2)
- Careful through the 3Lz (+2)
- Okay landing on the flying part but better on the camel positions (+2)
- Strong 3A with good ride-out (+3)
- Well-centered sit spin (+2)
- Could have better leg line but good energy and fairly good edges, Level 3 (+3)
- Nice A-frame, forward edge, and good crossfoot spin (+3)

Well, at least we have the night's first clean program! Whew! Sure, the program could have more transitions and more interesting choreography, but I'll take it at this point. Very solid skate throughout and a very good performance to set himself up for another podium place at NHK! Well-done, Voronov!

Buianova's student who did not fell or did not pop jump? Impossible.... Sorry, I just couldn't resist

 

[twirlingblades]

Judges will find some way to put this over Shoma, who was very generously marked.

 

[Weetos]

Ooh I like Shoma's hair. He's pulling it off better than Nathan!

I like both their normal hair. I don't like that horrifying slicked back look Nathan had at SA.

 

[tabsy]

OMG THE BESP GUYS ARE HAVING AN ACTUAL ARGUMENT OVER SHOMA'S GOE DISPUTES

"BUT.. YOU CAN INFLATE IT"

"YOU CAN'T INFLATE IT, IT'S THE TECHNICAL SCORE"

"BUT YOU CAN INFLATE IT"

:eeking:

Looks like Voronov is gonna be in a good position. But full disclosure that put me to sleep. Time for bed, goodnight and thanks!!
