[gmyers]

He needs a new coach and better coach. Needs a coach who can work with him better and how to do free skates.

 

[silverfoxes]

To be fair, he did improve quite a bit from last year's junior worlds. And it must really suck to be just a sliver away from the bronze after being in 2nd after the SP.

 

[gmyers]

PCS was not as good as it should have been. He needs to go to a place where coaches respect pcs.

 

[plushyfan]

I like his style. In practice and in SP he has huge perfect jumps. I hope he can handle his nerve.

 

[sneakers]

gahh, almost got a medal

shame about the fall, he would have medaled for sure

 

[The Finn]

Has he said anything about moving to seniors for next season?

He most likely will but has there been a confirmation for this?

 

[The Finn]

New interview.

I am bit surprised that he will still attend to the JGP.

strange indeed, Samarin will be turning 18,
even his younger batch mates like Sota, Denis, Daniel and Nathan have now switched to seniors.

 

[adelia]

I am surprised too. 5 seasons on the JGP circuit is a lot.

an 18 year old young adult; seems like he's been forever in the JGP circuit
maybe he can finally win gold now with no other main competitors ?

 

[adelia]

maybe he can finally win gold now with no other main competitors ?

In all honesty, that is possibly what his coaches are thinking.

 

[The Finn]

In all honesty, that is possibly what his coaches are thinking.

Surely one would expect that Samarin and Aliev would be the two main contenders for gold.

well there is the Korean debutante and he got great score in his junior worlds debut
also Gumennik could be a contender if he gets a stable 3A

Erokhov is also potential skater but since he didn't do great at the Russian junior Championships I don't know if he will get 2 spots. Especially since Russia has only one spot per JGP event, although they will most likely get more spots because it is highly unlikely that Israel would use all their spots.

On this list of Russian national FS team Samarin is on the reserve team of senior men:
