2025-26 Russian Grand Prix - Stage 1 - Magnitogorsk

Semion finally remembers his jumps. Nice save on the first 4T.

I don't think he moves up any places but he keeps a chance to make it to nationals.

Bravo Semon , liked the program, skated with real feeling

 

[Jontor]

Great stuff Soloviov!! One combo missing, but overall very good!

 

[AlexBreeze]

Someone should tell Kolyada and Yagudin that the Euler can't be "q".

 

[AlexBreeze]

Artur's face is like "So what was that yesterday?"

 

[AlexBreeze]

Vasiliy: The atmosphere is incredible. Only if you knew how Alexei and Mikhail argue all the time. They just can't wait to turn off the microphones.

The program is choreographed by Misha. And he sounds mad.

Never heard Kolyada so harsh after a skate. "Today there was NO program. I am pissed!"

I didn't know Misha Kolyada choreographed Rukhin's FS, and that got me thinking that whenever you see an empty program you tend to blame the choreographer, but it must be excruciating for such choreographer if he indeed prepared a somewhat decent program just to see it completely wiped-out in practice. I'm at odds here because Misha is such an artistic person that I can't imagine him choreographing such a nothingness, but I also can't imagine how Rukhin / his coaching team could have reduced a proper program to that

Igor Efimuk had very nice music for his FS but unfortunately the jumps were not there It must be a hard result for him to take, he will finish last here Hope he bounces back and keeps fighting! He will get a second stage, right?

And I'm so far behind in the comments here it is hopeless

Good luck to all the guys in the final group. Roman has grown a rather interesting moustache, he has not been idol over the off season

 

[niks]

Arthur has really gone for statement making costumes this season Davai Arthur!!

 

[AlexBreeze]

He will get a second stage, right?

Based on the SPb Cup he deserves it (he won a medal there). But I'm not sure whether they give it to him as he has no chance of making it to nationals anymore.

 

[AlexBreeze]

Artur started skating decently after adjusting content to a sane one. Unbelievable.

 

[Jontor]

That's the cleanest I've seen Danielian in like a gazillion years...

 

[thatdarncat]

Bravo Arthr , I didn't know what the music was to start with, but thought his hand looked liked Thing, so great costume.

 

[niks]

Well done to Arthur! Nice music, nice program, and he is always such a lovely skater

And most important, he looks so happy with his performances, both SP and FS! It's great to see him satisfied with his skating

 

[AlexBreeze]

Not commentators continuing arguing about the scores.

Yagudin doesn't seem to know the IJS rules well.

 

[Mathematician]

So this is why he grew it out...

 

[KhinSuShein]

Wow i like it

 

[Pairluv]

So this is why he grew it out...

And, it's remarkable how much he looks like Freddie Mercury now that we know,

 

[flanker]

Roman Merkurovich Savosin.

 

[Mathematician]

The section where he sings into the microphone, then hold it to the crowd, is creative! I like it. I like his SP even more though, because it is more my taste. We are definitely making it to nationals with this one.
