Is that his last year's FP?

Yes. His coaching team wanted to get rid of it but Grisha didn't.

The costume is new, this one is much better.

Tarantino's hardcore fan?

Federov has a lot of personality. If he gets the tech under control, he'll be at least as entertaining as Samarin was.

Tema. i don't know who this program will go, but you're already a winner darling. you just got a nomination

 

[AlexBreeze]

Artem is truly a hero. Two different quads.

He started landing quads like a month ago.

He still has screws in his leg. He didn't remove them because it would mean missing another season.

I like Kovolev but I always want to send him to Moskvina and have her find a talented girl to skate pairs. Or even one of Tutbridze's skaters since they're doing an excellent job with Boi/Koz. Alas, not everybody wants to skate pairs.

 

[Mariiiiskate]

So nice to have Tema back, his stamina still isnt there to skate a clean free but he is getting there.

He has always been a stoing jumper but weaker in other areas and that still is an issue for him now. I truly hope Volkov can work with him on that even if that isnt his strong point as a coach.

His back wouldn't survire pairs.

Some great skates so far in this group, hope the last three can follow suite and even have a clean skate

Matvei, my little aubergine, i hope your issues from last season are in the past.

 

[AlexBreeze]

that still is an issue for him now

I'd say everything became even worse. But that's not surprising.

 

[Mariiiiskate]

few pops and a fall on 4F but this is the best free ive seen from Matvey in awhile! The move has worked really well for him

 

[thatdarncat]

Love Matvey , He seems reinvigorated,

 

[elektra blue]

all my children are cacti, but how beautiful they are! Matvey kind of survived too. love this jazz program for him and i love his suit, i'd wear it

 

[Pairluv]

Some coaching changes work and some don't. I think the change to Rukivitsin works for Matvey. He skates with a different vibe for lack of a better term then he had with Mishin.

 

[KhinSuShein]

The first 4 Lutz was a very good one for Matvey VETLUGIN.

 

[Mariiiiskate]

I'd say everything became even worse. But that's not surprising.

I think they look worse now due to his lack of stamina but I think as he gets into better shape they will improve a little but if look at the starting point prior to his injury they needed work then as well so im hoping they will focus on that instead of more difficult quads.

 

[elektra blue]

are they proposing to Matvey @AlexBreeze ?
