2023 Russian Nationals Men's Free Skate

[Pairluv]

Who is this skater in Samarin's body?

 

[EdgeCall]

Keep it going, don't lose power.

 

[AlexBreeze]

Best Sasha's FS since NHK 2021.

 

[EdgeCall]

What a statement!

 

[Baron Vladimir]

Samarin has the best 4Lz in the world. Shame he didn't jump the second one, but it will be enough for the lead

 

[Jontor]

Samarin clean! When did that happen last?

I do suspect there was suppose to be a second 4Lz in there though...

About a month ago, Turner Classic Movies started showing double-bills of "The Man From UNCLE" on weekdays. And, since it is a series I always fancied, I have been watching it. Although, watching two episodes every day, even with winding through the adverts (which are ridiculously long on that channel!), really eats into your day.

Appropriately, the first episode of today's double-bill started 10 minutes ago.

I had to laugh during the first episode of the series because, although David McCallum was trying to do a Russian accent, you could hear his Scottish accent coming through. But, he had improved by the second episode. Indeed, by the time he was doing NCIS, he had totally mastered masking the Scottish accent!

Haven't heard any of the music in Samarin's programme before. But, from what I gather, they changed the theme tune every series. And I am only on Series 2.

But, why isn't he wearing a suit?! Napolean, Ilya and all the other UNCLE agents always wore suits.

Well, I suppose with Sasha's taste in fashion, it is probably a good thing that he didn't!

Anyway, it was a great skate. He has really stepped it up!

If he doesn't take the lead, I'm calling Waverly to send an agent after the judges!

This is not only one of his best skates, but also one of his best free programs, imo.

 

[EdgeCall]

Good comradeship on the bench.

 

[anonymoose_au]

Aww he's so happy! These are good times for Sasha S!

Makar is off.

Here comes Matvei!

 

[niks]

Sasha was wonderful! Some huge jumps and great musicality and energy. Very cool progrmme

 

[AlexBreeze]

Matvei

 

[anonymoose_au]

Mishin's been going into his back catalogue for his men this season.

Je Suis amused.

 

[EdgeCall]

Oh dear.

 

[Mariiiiskate]

Oh god...

 

[Mariiiiskate]

There goes Matveys chance at national team but he keeps Glebs hopes alive ....

 

[AlexBreeze]

I wanted Gleb to make the national team not like this.

 

[Jontor]

Oh Matvei. He is such a lovely skater but this was not his day.

 

[anonymoose_au]

Damn, that went...not good

 

[snwnprv]

Even with some mistakes Matvei's skating is still beautiful
