2023-24 Russian Nationals Men's Free Skate

[lariko]

Omg, poor guy. That's the kind of skate when I actually don't mind stream freezing.

Something strange happened to Postarnakov. He performed almost cleanly on his stages (otherwise he wouldn't be here). Then in Minsk he did a clean SP, but his FS was a nightmare. Here the situation is the same.

Well, he's just going through the motions now. They are moving like they are skating through molasses.

I hope nothing like that happens with one of the ladies or it might actually take years off of my life

Its a good thing this is the discipline I have the least investment in. But still, its heart wrenching to watch.

 

[Pairluv]

I always wonder what the coach is thinking when there's a skate like that. What can you say to your skater?

 

[lariko]

And the heartbreaking group about to go on ice...I don't even know what to expect.

I feel super bad for hoping Sasha S would move up. Not at Danill P's expense Rinky!

Man, is his coach bummed.

Aha here's half the guys I put in my skating predictions, come on lads, don't let me down!

I feel like quoting a Latvian Lithuanian figure skater Daniels Kockers here. He used to train with Rukavitsin and said that he was still watching Russian men.

"I love it when you wonder if he is going to make that jump or not. And if he does, you get such an unreal thrill. And when you see that he doesn't do it, you get just as genuinely upset for that athlete. I really like this game of emotions."

Let's take the positives. The music was good.

And that's it.

I feel so sorry for Daniil. He is so disappointed.

I wish the coach was being more supportive now. There is no interaction between them at all.

Into 5th in the FS and overall.

Well, I think we all knew that was coming.

Chances are they know the reason, and in most cases it is coach's fault, so I hope they say they are sorry.

I swear I remember hearing a coach saying "Well you didn't die, at least?" but maybe I just dreamed that...

OMG Andrei, dude, what are you wearing?!

 

[icewhite]

Andrei went from medieval to... whatever that is.

Not sure...

 

[AlexBreeze]

Gleb Lutfullin: It's already my fourth Nats and every time a fall on the first jump in the short program.

He looks like a cowboy!

If he skates to this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4NO-h9PFum4

He deserves a medal for sheer bravery

Well, Fedorov's shirt broke my stream - although...didn't Mark K wear that last season The mind boggles!

 

[icewhite]

I think overall I'm less invested in this group and need to breath before the final.

 

[lariko]

I mean, when Mozalev said he had to change something, but he wasn't sure yet...I hope this is not it. I hope...

 

[elektra blue]

let's have a word about your inner shirt, Andrei...
