2022 Russian Nationals Men's Short Program

[Pairluv]

Russian men are typically all over the place, but the boys came to play today. Excellent skate from Kovalev

When the music first started, I thought Artem was skating to my kid's Stefania's music. But, it soon turned into the type of music that Yuzuru would skate to.

Good skate.

Hmm I'm somewhat disappointed in Dima's costume.

@CrazyKittenLady will approve though

Oh yeah this version of "I Will Always Love You".

Is it the new scary lady Roxannnne of the quad?

 

[Mariiiiskate]

Oh Aliev, at least he landed everything and got a combo, far better than last season. He had such good skates during the cup stages I was hoping for a clean skate here too

I'm more disappointed with the cover of "I Will Always Love You" that he is skating to.

Whitney's cover: Definitely.

Dolly's original: OK.

But this?!

By the way, "The Bodyguard" was on TV a few nights ago. I taped it, and will watch it soon.

Dima. Sigh. I love the step sequence and the drama. He deserves the highest PCS scores of all the Russian men. If only the boy didn't leave points on the ice.

He didn't have any clean short programs though. It's a pity. This is a masterpiece program, I agree with Trankov.

Dmitri clean-ish. The GOE will hold him up.

Isn't Dolly's the original?

This version is actually growing on me.

Dima does make that step out look very elegant though. I will accept it as a transition.

He did get a Level 3 on the step sequence though!

 

[Mariiiiskate]

Davai Petya, I would love for him to play it safe but I know for a fact he wont

 

[icewhite]

90? What happened?? Again I didn't see his PCS there, but somethings seems wrong with those overall.

 

[anonymoose_au]

These guys need lip balm stat!

Anyway let's hear it for Bird Shirt Petr!

It was 45 something. Not sure how that compares to the other guys though...

Yes (I actually said that in the post). But Whitney's cover is better.

This version is actually growing on me.

To be honest, as it went on, it started growing on me too. But, don't say that too loud.

Andrey and Dima should have by far the highest PCS of the skaters gone till now, but seems like they are giving all the top skaters identical scores there

45 sounds fine. Maybe something got downgraded. I need to look at the protocols later to understand better I suppose.

Petya!

 

[Jontor]

Yay!! My boy Gumennik best so far!!
