Well, if my predictions are already going down the drain, I'll be delighted if Dima can hold on for a medal
looking forward to watch!
2023-24 Russian Nationals Men's Short Program
- Thread starter AlexBreeze

looking forward to watch!Every competitor here attempted a quadLast year, the men skated much cleaner
, ten men attempted 2 of them, but there were 9 falls on quads. Is this a directive from the coaches?
I watched it all. I was about to write that Russian men is the weakest discipline, and then Dikidzhi (who seems to deliver every time I watch) and Semenemko were brilliant and made up for the previous two hours (apart Aliev he really ruined my picks).
It's going to be a fascinating battle tomorrow between the top two. I picked Dikidzhi to win and I think he will do it he seems cool under pressure.
Also, I feel like every career dies with Sokolovskaya. Am I being unreasonable?

He has ice running through his veins like Malinin, but Malinin is on another level of course he'll be the best male of all time when he finishes his career.

The field got deeper. The skaters without quads just won't make it to Nationals. (When they qualified here they didn't skate so badly, of course).Every competitor here attempted a quad

Dikidzhi said at the press conference that he didn't want to skate last in the free, so he was rooting for Semenenko.
I thought there was a draw for the free skate now?

Managed to catch up on the men.
Well done Dima, Zhenya and Vlad.
Poor Lyosha, that looked painful
.
A lot of falls today, sad to see so many top men languishing at the bottom of the leader board.
Loved Andre's new short programme and costume and Dima's shirt
The opening ceremony was fab, they really go to town, the live band, ensemble of skaters, and Yagudin's winter programame
made my day

made my day It would have been nice to see them skate cleanly. I just think they can score over 80+ with a 3A and no quads, which I think is nicer to watch than half of the field having falls (obviously I am not a realistic judge)
I hope Andrei can have a redemption skate like how he did in Samara, not happy seeing him in 12th (and lower PCS than Mark, who also fell on the combo), his programs always interest me!

The second scores of Dikidzhi, who makes no effort at all in choreography, is equal to the second scores of Mozalev, who is objectively the strongest in this field. Are these components a joke to you, or what? Why would skaters improve if they get it without any effort? And why are the efforts of those who try not supported?

Hi guys, did they gave any update on Erokhov's health? Poor kid.
I think Aliev's was my favorite program despite my growing cringe with the lamest choice of music he's ever had. I can't wait for the next season to finally stop hearing that amateur hour lyrics.
Lol, speaking of lyrics, i think I am so used to just tuning out Hallelujah I didn't realized Fedorov was skating to Russian version.
Mozalev did Mozalev. I loved it, but basically expected a fall. 12th though looks harsh, given how imperfect everyone else was.
I also loved Tuktamysheva's commentary.

Dikidzhi is basically like Samarin. Loveable beyond all measure, great jumps, and there is also some music playing when he competes.

Most of these skaters usually land their quads. The only one for whom it could make sense is Zonov (although his 4Lo is probably even better than 3A).

I would roughly score the PCS like this:
Dikidzhi 6.50 - 6.75 - 6.25
Semenenko 9.00 - 8.50 - 8.00
Aliev 8.75 - 8.25 - 9.25
Gumennik 8.50 - 8.75 - 8.25
Ignatov 7.50 - 7.50 - 7.50
Savosin 8.50 - 8.25 - 9.00
...
Kondratiuk 8.25 - 8.25 - 7.75
Mozalev 9.25 - 8.75 - 9.25
Postarnakov 7.75 - 7.75 - 7.75
Lutfullin 7.75 - 8.00 - 8.00
Vetlugin 8.25 - 8.25 - 8.75
Well, that's just a fast take and from memory now - but that's the direction I'd go.

I'm pretty sure that at an international competition Dikidzhi's PCS would be something close to what Shaidorov gets.
