Mixed bag jump wise.

But Zhenya S is ON step sequence-wise!

*sobs*

 

[lariko]

Damn, he tried.

Russian man #1 : No, you can have the Olympic spot.
Russian man #2 : No... you get it!
Russian man #3 : Nah, pass.

 

[Dr. Jenn]

Messy skate by Evgeni He put in a good effort, but I did not enjoy the program or music. He is another skater who needs more stretch and better lines.

 

[Jontor]

Messy skate Evgeni. Hopefully he can come back in the free.

Now we need some Kamila-scoring for Zhenya

The state of the Russian men makes you wonder if Eteri practices some kind of witchcraft to suck the power for her ladies right out of them.

Well, I guess this means Jason is in the Final? If Zhenya takes silver (possible, this field is very unpredictable), he'll need a fantastic free skate and even then I don't think he'll reach the score needed for a tiebreak

 

[Seven Sisters]

Skated like he’s OK with Jason Brown making the GP Final: 1

Christmas is approaching

 

[karne]

That's quite the traffic jam that's starting to build up between 80-84...

That make me both sad and happy.

I shouldn't...but I can't resist - a moment's silence for this epic jump combo that took place on this very rink nearly 7 years ago...

I actually keep this gif open on my phone and refer to it often

OK, Mikhail! You can do it! We believe!

Very possible. I also think the cactuses are sucking the success from the consistent skaters here as well.

 

[norwegianfairytale]

NOOOOOO

 

[lariko]

Ouch, Kolyada….

 

[elektra blue]

speaking of russian consistency 3 bomboes out of 3

 

[Jontor]

Oh no!. ALL the Russian men bombing at home...

 

[YuBluByMe]

Kolyada….do NOT do this to me!
