Makar skating to Ultimo during the Sanremo festival week seems appropriate

Big beautiful combo from Makar

 

[Skating91]

Wow that was great looks like he's improved his fitness since the Russian championships

 

[elektra blue]

i hate his music but he did well even though he lost some level here and there

 

[Pairluv]

This is not only about consistency. Kagiyama has huge PCS and great quality of his elements. If he peaks by Olys, there's no chance. If Adam recovers and peaks by Olys, there's no chance.


He won't attempt it in a program especially at Olys.

I think that woud be a mistake if he didn't. If he can land it, he's got nothing to lose.

But, look at Makar! Impending fatherhood must have him thinking, it's time to get down to business. He'll need the energy for all those late nights and diaper changes

 

[katymay]

Good for Makar! Best I've seen him in a while too-he seems to have more energy today. Lost some levels, but still, nicely done.

 

[Jontor]

Why is Makar blond. Is it because they have more fun??

but is Sasha pregnant or is she not?

The tech panel has rewatched the 3A but it was called rotated. The rest wasn't rewatched.

Will he get an invitation?

4A's BV is too low. It's useless. He might just add another quad that won't take so much energy and won't be this risky.

If he focuses on the 4A alone it will also greatly increase his chances of injury. Also he will less time to improve his PCS and non-jumping elements. And for what?

He has stated many times he isn't including it.

 

[EdgeCall]

Confident performance with all the bells and whistles. I hope he can preserve that kind of drive into next season.

 

[elektra blue]

small unexpected mistakes for Vlad

 

[AlexBreeze]

Vlad is nervous as hell.

The Fed will be so confused with the selection if Petr wins haha.

 

[Jontor]

Dikidzhi impresses me more and more...

 

[Skating91]

The jumps weren't perfect but no worse than Semenenko's landings. And I would have him ahead of Semenenko for PCS. This is Vlad on a bad day, and it is still enough.

 

[katymay]

He has the greatest smile. Will still fall below Petr . Petr was so careful to get all his levels on every element.

 

[flanker]

Vlad did well, pity about the smaller imperfections here and there.

 

[Skating91]

The combo was still rotated correctly, which Semenenko couldn't do.

This kid has star quality. Lots of things to improve on, but he and his team seem to have a solid plan. We'll wait until the comp is over, but if the choice was between him and Gumennik (who I like a lot), I'd go with Dikidzhe becasue Gumennik has issues with jump calls. Lots of them.
