Boys took the ice...

She cried about never winning a top competition, but i think in the entire sport she is and will always be unique. She (almost) single-handedly made ladies' quads a fact. And she needed 3 years for it while the collective top elite of the men needed 30. Unrepeatable.

Yeah, but it developed in men and didn't in women, at least so far. But who knows how fast the adoption was in the 90s after the men landed the first quad. Maybe they were just as slow.

IIRC initially the men were limited to 4T and 4S for years. Only when IJS was introduced and TES became a thing they went further.

I love Savosin's commitment to his FS, which is a fabulous program, by wearing that 70s porn facial hair throughout the season.

 

[Pairluv]

I really like this kid. He's just adorable.

 

[flanker]

Savosin delivering.

 

[EdgeCall]

Awww, that was mesmerizing.

 

[KhinSuShein]

Wow ! very good

 

[Mathematician]

I love this program. I think it's better than his FS. He skated beautifully today.

 

[KhinSuShein]

bravo, hope this time he wil be on the podium, last time he was 4th, hope for tomorrow!

 

[lariko]

Savosin was on today!!!

 

[EdgeCall]

Never mind, Michail. Just smile.

Women are the same pretty much in seniors.

Anna is telling us about how Mikhail was speaking to Soloviov during his skate, and Soloviov was responding/reacting the entire time and following Misha's advice.

 

[elektra blue]

i'm back!

 

[Mathematician]

Fedosimov seems happy enough with this comeback.

Good thing he stuck the combo to the end of his 4T or he would've lost it completely.

 

[elektra blue]

why so grey, Artem?

 

[flanker]

Artyom Kovalev is delivering. BTW Greatest Showman score did not start to bother me yet in skating.

 

[elektra blue]

some ugly quads, but landed on his feet.

 

[Mathematician]

Tomorrow we might finally call Kovalev consistent.

why so grey, Artem?

It reminds me enormously of a jacket I wore once. It might've been the same pattern effectively, but it was a deep red.
