Andrei Mozalev

In case you missed it, the Golden Spin Gala was on tonight, right after the men's FS. I was just done with recording the skaters at Austrian Nats, so I just continued with Andrei at Golden Spin in case the stream gets blocked again. He did his SP as an exhibition, enjoy the performance:

Nice!
 
As usual, wishing Mozalev a solid free skate. My hope is, as always, for top 6. If he makes top 5 for gala, I would be even happier. 🙏
 
The FS is just made for Andrei, he delivers it like a boss. I love how he always tells a story. So happy that he got a medal here, he really deserved it.
Now, and I hope RusFed agrees with me, Andrei for Euros! :love2:

They made a great choice to put 2T before 4S. Just need to give him a little bit more space to rest before the final 3A
 
FS, 2nd best in the segment:


And, in my view, should have been first for the second time this season. 😈

I wonder if they let Kolyada rest and send all 3 younger guys to the Euros, or just put Mozalev on sub list. Because in the end of the day, Semenenko has a GP bronze and Kondratyuk is Russian Champion.

I also want to see this SP just the way he wants it at least once. 🙏
 
The medal ceremony. He looks so sad there 😭 quite a few people react in the comments how unfair the decision was to pass him over for Euros and how good he was and how Russia can ill afford to lose talent like that for backroom dealings.

He does look sad. :(
 
I do think Mozalove has been spreading among international audience this season if GS is anything to go by 🤔
Well, he has two huge fans in Canada, representing two provinces, lol. If he ever gets Skate America or Canada, that will make his Western Canadian Fan Club happy. 🤣🤣🤣 I tried to recruit the cat to the cause, but his thoughts are so hard to read. Walnut brain.
 
Mozalev is a fantastic skater who is overlooked. His transitions, emotion etc are enough to be a future challenger for the top podium spot at the world's.
Not sending him to europeans to skate off for an Olympic spot is a huge mistake in my opinion. He is an incredible skater, and they need to start building his international reputation.

I would love to see him get major ice, but I want it to happen after 4T-3T 4S fires for him in the short. 4T-2T 4S looked okay in the free. I half expected them to revise the protocol Murav'yeva-style and ding him for finishing after music in the short (maybe he managed to strike that pose before it was a problem, so yay!). With clean short, he could be in top 10, if I dream in technicolour. Without it, he is 37 in the SP before going into Eu, 6th in FS, meaning that he risks being 25th in a competition where top 24 qualify—and he would have more difficulty than Aymoz or Zhou absorbing that damage. There are lots of men in Europe who skate a mean SP. Luckily, he is a Russian man, not a Russian woman, so at 18-19, with a bronze, and that free, and maybe one or two retirements, a sliver of luck and God willing, he'll get GPs next year and that 4T-3T 4S will do the trick.

I definitely agree. It's such a shame he got left without a second Grand Prix event first and without Euros and Olympics next. I don't really understand why won't RusFed bet on him, they really do need to start working on building his reputation as I see him one of the most valiable russian contenders for the next Olympic Cycle.

I really hope he manages to snatch two Grand Prix spots next season, but since our beloved RusFed left him without Euros and Olympics (at least, not sure about Worlds, hopefully they will send him to Words) this season, this might be a challenge.
Also, what does your profile picture mean? I know what it says in russian, but I feel like I'm missing some context haha.
