2023-24 Russian Nationals Men's Short Program

[Jontor]

Well, looks like Aliev had a LOT to say. Any quick translation recap please?

Who decides how Trankov will wear his hair? They need to make better decisions.

I feel like it's Max himself! No accounting for taste I guess!

A few weeks ago I saw Alina Z at an event with a very odd eyelash choice...fashion, man, who can explain it.

 

[anonymoose_au]

OMG, they're playing a techno version of No Scrubs.

Has anyone ever done a program to this song? The possibilities of a judge pit-stop are endless and hilarious!

 

[icewhite]

Wow, Aliev is already 20 points ahead of for instance Kondratiuk and Mozalev, and 30 ahead of Samarin...
Some real decisions are made in this SP.

 

[katymay]

Does Aliev have a problem with women? His behaviour towards Liza was weird.

I don't have a clue what the conversation was, but he did seem chilly or something toward her. I think Liza has the talent to be a great commentator-beautiful voice, beautiful face and pleasing easy personality. I'm sure she needs to refine interviewing skills etc, but this is the direction she should go.

As Russian say, you can't win with SP, but you can lose with it.

I'm replying too much here but OMG, Ilya Y is here! I'm so happy! I hope he's good to go though and not still injured. I've been missing him, but I wouldn't want him to hurt himself again!

 

[Jontor]

Go ? and ?!!!!!

I won't say which two I am rooting for in this group, as the previous ones all had falls...

 

[AlexBreeze]

Erokhov is in a hospital. His leg is very badly swollen.

Good call.

Gee looking at this planned program content. Calm down, fellas! I assume they must be able to land these layouts in practice? Or are they just kind of Hail Mary-ing it here?

Ooo I think Grishin is updating us on Alexey E, but all I managed to make out was he hurt his leg, which was obvious.

 

[Pairluv]

Just don't leave it all on the warm up ice, boys.

 

[anonymoose_au]

Oh man, I always forget the clownface on Zhenya S's costume Did Sasha S hold a workshop on crazy costumes?

Erokhov is in a hospital. His leg is very badly swollen.

Oh dear... sending him lots of well-wishes!

 

[Isk]

As Russian say, you can't win with SP, but you can lose with it.

Actually, this statement is moot under IJS, but it was indeed true under 6.0 judging system.

 

[Jontor]

Or are they just kind of Hail Mary-ing it here?

I guess they are...

 

[AlexBreeze]

Actually, this statement is moot under IJS, but it was indeed true under 6.0 judging system.

I agree that it's less relevant now. But SP is still very risky. It's very easy to lose a combo.

 

[Jontor]

Fedorov ok-ish skate. Only 1 fall. We can't be picky at this time.

But Hallelujah again! Russian version!

 

[anonymoose_au]

Grigory did quite well! Especially considering how nervous he looked! Although that blue tape doesn't look like a good sign! Nice save on the 3A.

Gulp his Ilya Y next?! I'm not ready!

 

[AlexBreeze]

Although that blue tape doesn't look like a good sign!

I feel like I see Grisha with the blue tape more often than without.

 

[Jumping_Bean]

Actually, this statement is moot under IJS, but it was indeed true under 6.0 judging system.

Wouldn't say that it is completely moot at all. Mistakes in the Short hurt scores much more because you don't have a lot of opportunities to make up for them (Popped the solo triple/quad into a double? Too bad, no points for you. Fell on the first part of the combo on your second non-Axel jumping pass? No way to put the combo onto another jump)

 

[Jontor]

Oh, Ilya is doing the chimney sweeping routine!
