I doubted Shcherbakova and I often doubt Semenenko - but it's not the talent that makes them stand out, it's the ability to fight and concentrate.

I don't follow it closely enough to know the fan rivalries, but Vlad has been so consistent every time I have seen him so wanted him to win.
I think the PCS for Semenenko is absurd looking at the scoresheet now. Inferior jumps to the other two medal winners too.

That's what I'm talking about. And that's what Zhenya himself said once.

I'm not worried about Anisimova at all. She looks very stable and confident. I'm glad that men's is not the last discipline.
Same. I wanted Vlad or Petya to win because they were the best during the cup stages. But alas, Vlad had to pop a jump and Petya had to do what he did in first stage.

Semenenko's PCS are way too high.
However Dikidzhi's are insanse. And for instance Semenenko's q call in the short seemed rather harsh. Semenenko is overscored in comparison to the rules and people like Aliev and Mozalev, but not in comparison to no2 and 3 here.
Great top 3!
But I also want to commend Samsonov for the 5th place. He's been on the injury and struggle train for the longest time and it is nice to see him finally getting some good result. I actually predicted before that he will retire due to his injuries but he proved me wrong. I'm sure this will motivate him to even work better to be on his 100% healthy self next season.

As for technique, Zhenya was judged pretty harshly at both Nats. I am biased, of course, but both times there were things that were not noted at other competitions or by other technical panels.
For example, last year his combo spin difficult exit wasn't counted, although at the previous competitions the judges counted it.
Petr's PSC shouldn't be in the 9s, at least not the SS and PE IMO. Neither should Semenenko's and Dikidzhi's. They get overscored here. I mean, why not, what's the point of keeping it internationally realistic, if the skaters are not going to compete internationally anyway, and they do need a motivation boost after 2 seasons of isolation.

He's not my favourite, but I'm happy for him. Shame for what's about to happen on social media.
What do you mean?

A lot of people think he should be behind Semion at best.
This. A 1000%. They epitomize competitive skating.

Vlad agreed at the press conference that he should lose by PCS.
It's actually sad. He can dance very well. He has 1M subscribers on TikTok. His SS are just not good enough to bring it out on the ice.

Galliamov about Semenenko: "Got more national champion titles than me!"
