2023 Russian Nationals Men's Free Skate

[Mariiiiskate]

Im actually nervous for the girls and all their 3As now....

 

[Mariiiiskate]

Oh Andrey now, I dont know if I can bear to watch this

 

[anonymoose_au]

Andrei looks very determined today!

Go lad go!

 

[EdgeCall]

Darn.

 

[AlexBreeze]

The pressure got him. Except for two serious mistakes, I sense underrotations.

 

[EdgeCall]

Nice skate. Good energy, good flow, good interpretation of the music but it was not clean.

 

[AlexBreeze]

Samarin with a medal?

 

[Mariiiiskate]

Oh Andrey if only he played it safe after that 1st half I dont know if this will be enough for the podium

 

[Jontor]

I just love Andrei! But will this be enough?

 

[Pairluv]

I think Mozalev just helped Samarin to the podium.

 

[Baron Vladimir]

Two mistakes in the second half will be costly, but he should have the best score for CO from what i saw so far.

they been giving the top skaters pretty identical PCS so he wont have much of an advantage there

I still hope that Andrei will medal

*yesterday*
A journalist: How did you score 97 points?
Matvei: Mushrooms (overscoring in Russian slang).

*today*
A journalist: What happened to your skate?
Matvei: The mushrooms turned out to be stale.

Andrei loses 10 points in TES. Artem is shocked.

 

[Mariiiiskate]

Oh Andrey

 

[snwnprv]

Oh no

 

[CaroLiza_fan]

Samarin with a medal?

I would say yes.

Time for your silver fox now.

(Why anybody young would want to dye their hair grey, I will never understand. It comes naturally soon enough).

Another big bear!

Wow! Didn't see that coming! Artem remains on the couch!

But here's Zhenya S! Can he capitalise?!

And Sasha S has a medal
