Thanks. I don't disagree, though it is deserved as far as seniors are concerned. Juniors, well... Anyway, I'd be happy if Sasha a) skates clean b) gets second-highest PCS.He means Japanese male skaters are the "in thing" now. The it-boys.

Mishin's comments:
"- In training, Asian and American athletes demonstrated phenomenal rentals - said Alexei Mishin. - And when the moment of truth, it turned out that the Russian athletes still claim to be a leader and take them.
And yet, the first in the short program with a margin became Japanese Shoma Uno.
- Its now just extolled to the skies. Even the face of the tournament in the official program did though come here more titled on the junior level athletes. I do not like his jumping technique. It is far from perfect.

Thank youRough translation.

- Uno is now simply exalted from heaven (worshipped?). They even made him the face of the tournament in the official programme, even though there are other competitors who are more titled. I don't like his jumping technique very much. It is very far from perfect.
Are the judges deliberately placing him on a pedestal?
- I wouldn't say that. It is simply that now, in men's figure skating, within the Japanese there is some sort of fashion. And this is shown in the junior competitions. Although it is necessary to give Uno his due - he has excellent skating skills.
Are you pleased with the performance of your student Alexander Petrov?
- Very much. Especially since he came to Tallinn not fully healthy.
No medal for Russia. Yup. But I guess this is what happens when your #1 has a back injury, your #2 is sick and your #3 is just not that good.I can't believe!! No medal???

I think Boyang should have won too.You are right! But I really wanted to a medal for the Russian guys! I think Soma was overscored in PCS. Boyang was awesome!
I also wanted Boyang to win...at least he gave 100%. Really disappointing competition overall.
But a happy early birthday to our dear Papa Mishin!
He needed 141 to medal. I don't think he would have gotten that even with just 1 fall. So really he needed to stay on his feet. He hasn't stayed on his feet for both programs since the Warsaw Cup last year. Beyond just nerves, there is some physical issue that needs to be addressed. I don't know what it is.I can't deal with this...Sasha had a 5-point lead from Sota after the SP... He could've afforded one mistake--but not two falls.
A medal was easily within reach, and he instead drops down to 6th place. Quite the disappointing final group, with the exception of Boyang.

No, I think it's a waste of his time. There is nothing more to gain from staying a junior.Russian men have growth spurt, It couldn't be helped. They will do better next year. I guess Sasha should stay junior for another season.
