2021 Skate Canada: Men's Free Skate

[Tinymavy15]

The ice looks pretty beat up considering we're only half-way through the group.....

Some messy landings, but he did all his elements

It appears that the idea of one of Coach Alexei's skaters having transitions that go beyond hand and arm movements is Mishin Impossible.

 

[labgoat]

In the warm-up, Eteri and Brian where really close each other, I wonder if they have talk about Evgenia Medvedeva situation

probably not

 

[msteach3]

Oh my goodness...this is something else. That's all I can say.

 

[cathlen]

Mishin taught well Semenenko to get the levels on spins, nice.

 

[lariko]

Honestly, I am happy he gave up on costume changes. Screw apocryphal daffodils.

 

[EdgeCall]

New conspiracy theory: Eteri is so powerful she cursed the ice

The wicked witch of the east strikes again!

Great job!

 

[Jontor]

Well done Evgeni! That was a fight!! Won't probably be enough for a medal here but we have a new leader!

 

[rollerblade]

I'm so loving this new found swagger of Semeneko... but his landings seem a lot worse compared to last season. Did they take out the costume change or did it fail again?

 

[anonymoose_au]

No costume change?!

Maybe the powers that be told him to take them out. My face is sad.

 

[Lutzedge]

Evgeni has got to work on his posture. If he can get that better, then he could boost his GOE better.

 

[kmw227]

Oh Evgeni, you and your chaotic jumps. Really solid skate though!

 

[labgoat]

Heck.. where I am we at 90% Vac rate (1shot-85 2 shot) and they just lifted the restrictions on indoor dining. If they had let what Raf did slide people would have been really upset.

I can only dream of such a rate in the US.

 

[YuBluByMe]

Semeneko landed the jumps, but there’s nothing else to this program. At least his butt never touched the ice.

 

[s_parks]

As Dick Button would say, "he's trying to bamboozle you with his arms". Well, good for him, he landed things. But he needs more actual choreography and work on SS.(*laughs in Mishin*)

 

[EdgeCall]

Overall this was not bad at all from Evgeni. Some landing problems and some holes in the choreo, but actually I liked the display. I hope he can perfect the program.

 

[Supernovaimplosion]

That doesn't bode well for the women

After this event, I'm worried for women regardless
Don't worry, I'm sure Eteri only uses her powers when she needs to, like when her skater is last after the sp

 

[yuumagical]

Evgeni looked really sharp here.

Still mourning the loss of Keiji's jumps, though.
