I mustn't forget to wish Sasha good luck for tomorrow - hope he has a skate he can be satisfied with.:)

ISU has added Sasha's points from Finlandia into the international competition column but the total still reflects as 2400 and not 2578 as it should be (if you add up the individual columns, it should be 2578). I hope they fix this error soon because the ranking determines the GP starting order. It appears that only Sasha's total is wrong, the other guys total all reflect the points from Finlandia.
This thing still not fixed. I hope it is just a website issue and not their database. :(

Edit:
LRK has alerted me to the rule change that now makes World Standing points completely irrelevant to GP events. -__-

Alexander Petrov Panin Memorial SP. Sasha's music stopped during his stsq but he continued without it. True fighter!

It's good that he can learn to take any such contretemps in his stride - and I love the audience response, clapping him on. I clapped for him too when he finished, sitting all by myself here at home.:)

I clapped too!
Heart of a real champion!
 
Just a reminder. He will not be skating his FS tomorrow. Mens FS will be on Saturday and the gala will be right after that.
Tomorrow I hope we will be blessed with photos from his SP. It's nice to finally have a stream for local SPB events but Figurist TV is always on the opposite side of the judges so we don't really get to see his facial expressions much. Photos would be most welcome.
 
Mihail Sharov is now in St Petersburg so there will very likely be photos from tomorrow's events.
As for the SP, there won't be that many.
 
And so... Mishin took out the 4T from his FS layout. Don't ask me why.

170.52 (84.22+86.30)
Yes, of course he was clean.
 
I understand they want to go clean but I really don't see any reason why he could not try 4T in competition. He needs it in skate Canada and every other competition coming up.

But yay for the clean fs anyway :)

I don't understand it either because this is an insignificant local competition. At the most he finishes third instead of second. And seeing how the rest of the men before him skated, he could have gone for the quad, popped or fallen on it and still finish second.

Exactly and if he really wanted to go for it, you'd think Mishin (or whoever was holding him back) would let him try it.
Oh well, at least Sasha is extremely consistent.

I know Sasha wanted to go for it because that's what he said in his previous interview. I don't know why they are holding him back.
 
El Conquistador was the gala program. That just makes me happy!
And... there will be HD video. I saw Mihail Sharov filming it.

Cool!

Agree re what has been said about the quad. What better place to go for it than a minor local competition? If he wants to try it, he should be allowed.
