2018 Olympic Figure Skating Mens SP

[colormyworld240]

I KNEW they should have used him instead of Kolyada in the team. Well actually, I think everyone knew that...

 

[kevinVchicago]

Molodec'! Relentlessly good work from Aliev! And he looks very handsome [emoji7]

 

[GGFan]

so why again did the Russian fed. put Kolydaya on other the SP AND LP for the team event and not Aliev?

Well he can be inconsistent as well. I was surprised he didn't get at least one program though

 

[yelyoh]

Wow that should go into first by a huge margin and hold up until the final group and perhaps make headway into that!!!

 

[friedbeefmince]

do you think he'll break 100??? OMG

 

[Baron Vladimir]

Thank god Russia chose him. It was phenomenal :hap57:

 

[Dr. Jenn]

Good job by Aliev! Those jumps were great! However, I find him terribly boring/uninspiring otherwise. His performance skills and posture need a lot of work.

 

[Jammers]

That 's why Dima should be Russia's no.1 not Kolyada

Well Dima is going to need to earn it like any skater.

 

[WeakAnkles]

Our second One To Watch Next Quad skater: Mr Aliev.

 

[BossT]

WOOOOOWW!! Dima is brilliant!
I love girls' skating, but this was close to them:agree:

 

[EdgeCall]

TES 58.05. I guess Dimitri's urine sample will be triple-checked. :sarcasm:

 

[loop9497]

Ugh I thought this isn't happening until Friday. I failed at timezone. :/

I'm not sure where you are from, but PyeongChang is 14 hours AHEAD of eastern time. So when this event started at 8:00 PM ET live tonight (Thursday), it was 10:00 AM on Friday morning in PyeongChang.

 

[readernick]

Aliev is currently at 58 TES, 42 PCS. I think he will get over 100 !!!! Awesome

 

[satine]

Men's SP SPLATFEST Tally:
Stayed on their feet!: 14 :agree:
Fell on their butt: 6

Aliev's skating is beautiful. NBC is pegging him near 100. He had too little stamina towards the end and got caught on the ice towards the end. Slow spins.


But absolutely would love to see him compete with Cha in 2022.

 

[s_parks]

If he's the next "it" men's skater for Russia, I hope he doesn't crumble from the fed's pressure... (sorry, too many bad memories the past couple of years from Russian men)

 

[HollyRose]

I'm so proud of Dima!! My darkhorse choice for a medal!

 

[Blades of Passion]

Aliev is really on fire lately

A shame they kept him from the team medals

**** every country except Canada for their Team selections.

Aliev totally deserved to be there. Glad he just proved himself again.

 

[NAOTMAA]

Dima should have skated the team event

Kolydaya as undisputed Russian #1 is on borrowed time

 

[nolangoh]

i LOVE this music! Reminds me of Mao

The Magic of Masquerade Waltz!! Mao, Maxim and Tatiana, and now Dmitri!!!
