Yes. He is one of the best at this. Completely horizontal to the ice. And the arms are elegant too.
I will a collection of these and post them soon.

Yay! Looking forward to that! :thumbsup:

I'll do a collection of quotes too. Because looking through the thread, he's said many insightful things in the past despite not having done many interviews.

"The depth [profoundness] of the program and the theme does not always depend on one's age."- Alexander Petrov, Nov 1 2015.

They might not send him to the Winter Youth Olympics without one either, or so I've read on FSO.

I guess this turned out to be true after all. "One" being "a quad".

Hope everyone had a good weekend!

He very likely would have won had he been sent. Oh well.

yes, but don't forget about Nathan Chen (sadly, he was injured) and his 4 quads. but what i love in Alexander - he can show what he can, as Mishin said. and like we see - Aliev, Kovtun and others Russians - can't. so sad

Well exactly. Chen wasn't at YOG. That's why Sasha would probably have won.

 

[Meoima]

Sasha should have been sent.

 

[puremagic]

oh, I mixed up the YOG with the JWC. Chen was planning to compete there. And then he would probably could win

 

[puremagic]

but I prefer forget about JWC and wait new senior season. I hope Sasha already hard work with quads

 

[adelia]

He always works hard. This is a skater who does not lack motivation.

 

[Skater01]

With his usual performance he would have won. But I too prefer on waiting for next season since it will be veeery interesting.

 

[adelia]

Too bad for Mishin too. He could have had 2 gold medals from that same venue. 1994 + 2016. Oh well.

 

[Plumededragon]

Guys, he may not have won YOG as well. No one was at their best today and that's not because he can do good performances that he'd have been good there and won. :disapp: That goes the same way for anyone.
Let's wait for JWC and see what happens next. Though, like some of you said, it's going to be very interesting to see how he'll fair when he'll move to senior...

Looks like you haven't seen any of his performances this season.
