How nice for Misha to have a big home event!

I saw this earlier in on my phone without glasses and was very excited because I thought it said Atlanta!
But this is great for Astana, Kazakh skating is having a hell of good time right now!

It's really nice to see some of these countries get the opportunity to host competitions.

Yesss. Great for the newly reigning OGM to compete at home, with his home crowd at the stalls.
So happy for Misha

Yes, especially after all he's been through with the Kazakh skating fed, it's nice to have something good come his way. Of course the federation benefits as well, but hopefully they're turning the page on the past and appreciating that Misha's success certainly had to have helped raise their profile and get events like 4CCs. I had been hoping Kazakhstan would get a major ISU comp! I was pulling for them to get the Olympics actually, but this is at least a good step.

That is quite east-European-time- friendly place. I hope there will be a way to find an available stream. Usually 4cc has been geoblocked here.
