I would hope not too, as the planned quad content for most of the US men is not as high as the majority of the Russian men.
He'll work harder and try to make sure it will never happen again. Hard not to like this guy, it's not his fault that he is from CSKA with all that comes with it. He is a hard worker who doesn't try to coast. I hope they'll do more about developing his PCS. Aliev says he is going to Euros, he must already have been told.
Men's press conference. Poor Samarin is apologising for his free skate and says he is ashamed

Heartbroken for Sergei :sad4:
He also had an invalid combo at the end. Like Kostia Menshov in 2015. Sergei should have added a 2 Sal after the 2A. His brain was obviously off due to nerves today.Really hate to see that 4T+REP in Sergei's protocol. About 4 points thrown away. Perhaps he was too vexed at the moment to keep the rules in mind, but what a pity...
And there you have the reason why they’ll send Aliev and decided on it so very quickly: Sergei could easily threaten Samarin’s position for the 2nd spot in Korea by placing above him at Euros, Aliev not. It’s really disgusting. Plus I have a very bad feeling about Dima now. He should finally cure his foot, but now they’ll have to intensify his training rather than taking care of the injury. Up to know whenever RF rushed young skaters there was no happy ending - just look where Borodulin, Kovtun, Pitkeev are now … still they don’t learn their lesson to let young skaters develop at their own pace.
Until reading your comment I was so sad but even more angry, about what has happened today. Now it changed and I’m simply crying. Maybe officials should have simply found a reason to forbid Seriosha competing at all. I already bet he won’t get funding next season again, though he should with a 4th place finish (in case he decides to continue, which I don’t think will be the case now anyways). :sad21:
I am tired of watching Aliev's heroic struggles against collapse on the ice this season. It isn't doing anyone any favours. When are they going to properly take care of his health, or at least let him stay home and recover? Dima himself said they cannot properly restrain his foot because he has to continue training. This isn't the ladies and he isn't about to be devoured by upcoming juniors.He also had an invalid combo at the end. Like Kostia Menshov in 2015. Sergei should have added a 2 Sal after the 2A.
