The Fed officials may not think that much of Sasha but there are limits to what they would do to a skater from Mishin's school, even though Sasha is not one of the hyped up ones from the school.I just didn't dare take out anything in advance - too fearful of disappointment! Well, I was all the happier when I found out.

All the better if his isn't then - it helps if there is something fun to lighten the mood.

This is kind of heart breaking... he has been skating with an injury. Ligament damage. And it's not the first time either. 
"YEKATERINBURG, December 27 - R-Sport, Elena Dyachkova. Russian figure skater Alexander Petrov told the news agency "F-Sport", which puts the European Championship goal to insert into the program the quad, and make him show himself.
Petrov, who for the first time in his career became the bronze medalist Russia in the competition, held in Yekaterinburg, on Sunday joined the national team for the European Championship, which starts in late January in Bratislava.
"My goals for the European Championship - insert a quad to make it into the program, to show himself. That's all. It's about some places or medals is not. I'm going to just show themselves to be satisfied with yourself. In the championship of Russia, I was a pleased. Although a little unhappy that the feeble elements. There is a feeling that is capable of more, "- said Petrov.
According to the sportsman, bronze championship of Russia has become a surprise to him. "Feeling great, feel great, I was in the euphoria of this, though a bit stunned, of course. Won the bronze medal without a quad. Even though I wanted to do in an arbitrary, but then with Alexei Nikolayevich (Mishin) consulted and decided not to risk it, just put on the net rental ", - said the skater.
Petrov told the reason for this decision was the injury. "Week and a half before the Russian championship, I again very seriously twisted his leg, and I found microbreak in ligament. In a toe loop it hurts. In principle, the quad was ready, but because of the injury, we did not include it, because it would go first jump, and if I, God forbid, would have pulled his leg, tore all to hire, "- a spokesman said.
Petrov said that "at the European Championships can not be without a quad." "I will recover, insert it into rental - I hope that in the short and arbitrary, because in another way. We need to go further, to develop. Why stand still? It's pointless if there is no progress, competition. Triple jumps I can hardly compete with the same Javier Fernandez and Yuzuru Hanyu. It is ridiculous, "- said the athlete."

Short clip of the gala ending.
Short clip of the gala ending.
It is incredible isn't it? The desire/hunger to win must be so great.
As yet there is no video of his EX. However, Match TV will be showing a delayed telecast of the gala at 7.30pm Moscow time. If you wish to catch his EX again, do watch.
Here is a restream of Match TV: http://www.moskvatv.net/page/russia2-tv-online.php

did turn out to be apposite after all?! Since we just found out, I'm "submitting" it again. (I also think Sasha could very well skate to it.)
