Yeah, well such is the nature of this sport. Anyway, assuming he turns senior next season, this will be the last junior event I'm watching live until 2016/2017.
Regardless of what happens, Sasha will probably be at the Winter Youth Olympics in 2016, so that's something to look forward to.
Glad Sasha went clean today. I would've put him second in marks, first on my personal enjoyment list. 
Still a bit worried... He looked kinda cautious in the warm-up, not knocking out jump after jump like everyone else. Then in the actual skate... is it just me, or do his jumps look smaller than they were back in the JGP? His axel is still solid but not quite the "Wow!" I'd expect from Mishin's pupil. Then his other jumps looked tight...
Hopefully he's just nervous after not doing so well at Sr or Jr Nationals. He's still fun to watch even without his biggest jumps, and it's nice to see skaters work on their landings instead of not even trying to stand up.

He's kind of like that during warm-ups. Does a jump, maybe two or three, no more than that. It's just his style/habit.Glad Sasha went clean today. I would've put him second in marks, first on my personal enjoyment list.

Well, if you're skating after a guy who just got rewarded 85 points and realize that the judges will never give you gold no matter what you do, I'd say his mental state was not perfect, hence the tightness in the jumps.
His PCS should have been more than 0.8 higher that Adian. Maybe 1.5.
Well, it's good to know the warm-up isn't any kind of anomaly. No need to knock out quads in warm-ups when they aren't even allowed in the short, like a certain Mishin student used to.
I agree 1.5 points is more like it (though Adian skated wonderfully and improved his presentation; I'm proud of him too). I'm grateful Sasha got second-highest PCS at all, since his momentum got derailed after two bad competitions and he's only Russian #2.
Yeah, true, it's good that he received second highest PCS given that he did not get the name recognition or #1 skater boost.Well, it's good to know the warm-up isn't any kind of anomaly.

That would not be a miracle. Because miracles can actually happen. -_-

I bet many many coaches are being puzzled right now, what's the point of improving the jumping quality at all? Heck. But believe me, it's just junior worlds, many did very well at junior worlds never did well at senior, and many who did not well at junior turned out to get huge success in the senior. Junior is not the end. And it's not even the beginning.
I think the veteran coaches all know how the system works. That's why Mishin does all this PR stuff for Liza. It's not enough just to skate well. There a lot of non-skating factors that affect PCS and GOE.
As for seniors, we'll see. The top 5-6 in today's SP will probably all be in seniors next season. So the competition will resume there.
Perhaps due to the camera work. I did not notice a slimmer look but I did think he looked marginally taller (hard to say for sure).
That's possible, I hope you're right
Sasha will be the final skater tomorrow:
