2023-24 Russian Grand Prix - Stage 6 - Moscow

[Pairluv]

Vetlugin is such an elegant skater. I continue to be surprised at how many Mishin has given that's never been his main focus as a coach. Good for him.

Did Matvei's charisma made the scoring box disappear?
That was a superb 3Lz-3lo.
I think Matvei and Makar have the prettiest sit spins.

Kondratyuk looks weird...sorry, but...

Yeah, he is too small to carry off the hipster beard. Also, he seems out of shape, was breathing awfully heavy after that SP, doesn't bode well for the FS.

I think that Aleshin works with Mishin's skaters on their PCS. But it's nice that Mishin invited him.

Bravo matvei

Samodurova's is a senior skaters' coach now?

 

[icewhite]

What's up with Vetlugin? He seemed very angry and annoyed the whole time, despite the great skate and the score.
Did something happen?

Oh I thought he was trying to look like Jesus.

Oh! Matvei takes the lead! Well done!

Goooo Dima.

 

[Pairluv]

Great score as well!

 

[LadyB]

Smile, baby, you're in the lead! Well deserved

 

[AlexBreeze]

Samodurova's is a senior skaters' coach now?

No. I think she just stayed here after the junior's stage.

 

[LadyB]

I love the music, not so much the shirt. Anyway, all the best for Dima

 

[Pairluv]

Smile, baby, ypu're in the lead! Well deserved

And Dima is doing his best to make sure he stays there.

I periodically have to rewatch his FS from Europeans to remember how much I love his skating.

We will potentially have 6 different winners in the series. Mark could be the only winner not from St. Petersburg.

I started writing it before the non-jumping elements.

Didn't realize that St.Petersburg was leading in men. At least Moscow has ladies.

 

[AlexBreeze]

Poor Rukavitsin.

Did something happen?

Good question. I think it will be clearer after his interview.

 

[anonymoose_au]

Dima OMG what happened?!

 

[LadyB]

Congrats to Matvey and Vlad! Looking forward to FS!

 

[Pairluv]

Dima OMG what happened?!

Dima happened. If he makes a mistake at the beginning of the SP, he often doesn't recover for the rest of the skate. He let's it get to his head and his feet forget what he's doing.

I'm watching interviews, as if i could understand what they are saying. I just want to say that Daniil has a serial killer stare. Very intimidating.

Matvei really looks pissed off and a bit sad.
