2018 Rostelecom Cup Men's Short Program

[Metis]

I actually gasped. No. Misha. I thought I was used to this rollercoaster.

You are one of the only men who can sell such a sexy, sleek routine. You have EDGES for years. Your POPS are bigger than most quads. Why do you do this to me.

 

[WeakAnkles]

And another major meltdown.

 

[NoNameFace]

oh, forward-style landing, long time, no see...Aaaaaand a pop, our old friend...

 

[discode]

He was landing flawless 3a's in the warmup :sad4:

I should be used this to by now, but it makes me sad every time. Sigh

 

[Ichatdelune]

He just had to follow his compatriots' footsteps, didn't he? Sigh... still, monster lutz is monster lutz.

 

[frida80]

Mikhail...

 

[Metis]

My heart hurts for him.

 

[kevinVchicago]

Just

Why

Stop

 

[rachno2]

He was landing flawless 3a's in the warmup :sad4:

Even his 3A at HELLsinki was God-like, why does he have to do this :sad21:

 

[draqq]

Mikhail Kolyada

- OUCH, forward landing on the 4T<< (-5)
- Really great 3Lz but only a +2T (+3)
- Nice centering on the camel spin (+3)
- OH NO, only a 1A (INVALID)
- Good edgwork but not as energetic as I've seen (+2)
- Good centering and positions in sit spin (+2)
- Great speed through the final spin, a little wobbly on last catchfoot (-2)

One word: YIKES...

 

[Weetos]

He just looked so defeated for most of it

 

[anonymoose_au]

Finally gets the stream going again.

Gosh, I hope this is the start of Mikhail's skate because that TES is frightening otherwise.

I do love that belt.

Oh dear...it is not. OMG, he's so so disappointed! Don't be sad Mikhail! The people still love you!

 

[Yuzuruu]

Misha Please, im begging you, stop This mess!

 

[Noxchild]

Well, if you exclude the jumps Kolyada's skate is quite nice... the first ten seconds were so strong, then...

OK Hanyu, you know what must be done...

 

[Mirunna]

What are his issues? Nerves? He is so good, such a shame

 

[gonewiththewind25]

Well, TAT is going to have a field day.

 

[norwegianfairytale]

Oh my god, feel so bad for him.

 

[satine]

I really thought he'd get it together here in front of a home crowd and secure a silver :hopelessness:

 

[Mrs. P]

I'm so sorry to jinx the poor boy. But honestly I thought he could do no worst than the rest of the field. Apparently I was wrong.

 

[TT_Fin]

Mikhail seems to need some mental coaching.
