2018 Rostelecom Cup Men's Short Program

[Noxchild]

Ads in the k&cry make it seem like NHK Trophy deux...

 

[Metis]

There are two of us, they are totally Wonderwall Pants!

No, no, there is just one Olsen twin, moving back and forth very quickly! We’re all being fooled, I’m just not sure why!

 

[Mrs. P]

You know the 3Z-3F looked impressive the first time, but I'm kinda over it now, especially since it wasn't clean today.

Hey Artur Dmitriev, wasn't expecting to see you here!

I see he's switched coaches from Mishin again, probably a good idea...last time I saw the two of them in the KnC Artur looked like he wanted to take a swing at Mishin!

Artur has a really weird skating style...

The Russian men are having an average-to-bad night...

 

[brens78]

This could have been a great program with the Yugudin references with the balls of ice but sadly no

 

[moriel]

Kolyada got to skate clean after this

Artur Dmitriev

- Hand-down and heavy turn-out on 4T (-4)
- Turn-out on 3Lz+3F (-2)
- Good speed through position changes in the camel spin (+2)
- Nice attack and energy through the step, a bit wild on the edges (+1)
- Hand-down on the 3A (-2)
- Alright combo spin, good speed (+1)
- A bit heavy on entry but nice platter position in the sit spin (+1)

Not sure about this costume. It doesn't read Gladiator or Pirates of the Caribbean.

It's all going to will Misha into the GPF, apparently.

 

[rachno2]

Why didn't he go all out with a gladiator costume? Especially with that literal choreography

 

[Ichatdelune]

Bad day for quads, at least for the Russian men. I hope Kolyada doesn't watch and learn...

 

[Noxchild]

Russian men doing very badly at home so far... bodes ill for Kolyada :scard8:

You know the 3Z-3F looked impressive the first time, but I'm kinda over it now, especially since it wasn't clean today.

It always made my ankles cry in agony for him, but technically, it was a cute trick. Not sure what the point of doing it would be, since it incurs a mandatory negative GOE bullet.

Artur DMITRIEV (RUS)
Gladiator
in dark blue airbrushed boatneck top with lots of sparkles

4T< hand down, slipped off the toe, maybe fall?
3Lz-3F step out no I did not call that wrong
FCSp
DRAMATIC ICE TOSS!
StSq
3A hand down
CCoSp oh that illusion was just sad
CSSp

Uh, well. Look, I applaud the technical ambition on that 3Lz-3F but it just looks so ugly to land on the wrong edge.

 

[anonymoose_au]

Artur needs to watch those falls, isn't that how Daniel S dislocated a shoulder?

Those were really bad times...

 

[Ravyn Rant]

It just occurred to me that I'm old enough to remember when Artur Sr. was smoking hot. Maybe I should fill out that AARP membership...

 

[Metis]

Misha totally convinced the other guys that if they screwed up, he’d be clean. And then he offered to roll all the 1s off the die they use to play Dungeons & Dragons.

That’s my explanation for this continuity and I’m sticking to it.

 

[gonewiththewind25]

It's all going to will Misha into the GPF, apparently.

I really really hope so... Don't want to imagine what TAT will say if all 3 of them mess up...

 

[Ichatdelune]

Well he's not Artur Dmitriev Jr. for no reason, they do look alike.

 

[WeakAnkles]

Artur needs to learn to straighten and extend his free legs. It's bent so much of the time and just looks sloppy.
