If he finished 3rd at nationals and should have been higher and if he fade niches 2nd or better here at Europeans how can you leave them off the team? Mark should be on the team unless he bombs and they're gonna go with a veteran misha. It comes down to Andrei against Semenenko. And I don't want the politics of the professor to come into play. I've had enough of that.
Well, if it were up to me, sure thing…
both Mozalev and Davydenko said that there is no point talking about Olympics until after the free. So, we’ll know tomorrow. Until then, I’m fasting and hoping that Mozalev+Team+Universe=strong, clean skate that will blow the judges’ minds by how awesome it is, and, like, the whole world will suddenly see Mozalev through my eyes, lol.
I'm with you.Well, if it were up to me, sure thing…
Gosh, I am so worried I was up from 2 am and watching ID.
He has a very bright future. But I thought the same thing of Dmitri 2 years ago after he won nationals and Europeans back-to-back but then he had ankle surgery about a year and a 1/2 ago and something else happened. The sport is both so beautiful and so brutal it's hard to imagine and explain.Gosh, I am so worried I was up from 2 am and watching ID.
Rooting for Andrei Mozalev as usual. Clean skate and big score to him!
Montreal 2020 got cancelled—I had tickets and everything. Then Aliev had Covid, unfortunately… I keep hoping for his comeback.
Did Dima have covered an ankle surgery or ankle surgery than covin? Those are setbacks even for the most fit of athletes which figure skaters are.
Usually, it’s free, but not today. He will stay the first alt, but I hope he can do cup of Russia final and if he gets worlds, I would be happy. If not, GP.
23-27 February, so he will have to start proving himself again.
Is that after the Olympics?
Yes, he did, but I am guessing, and it’s just a speculation, that Mozalev needed a huge success. And, unfortunately, this doesn’t help him shake off instability concern. This program is what will be cited over his amazing free in France.
A shame.
There is always silver lining. Mozalev lost to two skaters who had skated Senior Circuit for a few years, and if he gets access to Grand Prix series he will finally be able to develop in a more normal pacing. He didn’t have the kind of guts that Kondratyuk has to go from zero to the max. It’s unfortunate, but he did well. Not stellar, but well. Unfortunately, things don’t always work out. Life, however, goes on.
But he beat his main competitor in 2 major competitions for the Russians for the Russian men and at this competition by even a wider margin then at nationals. Semenenko? 2 disappointing events in a row is not good however. how are they going to brush that under the rug? Evgeny is of course good very good but with the Olympics on the line he failed and Andrei did not.
Yes, the same. And I definitely didn’t want pictures of Mozalev crying into Davydenko jacket in K&C either, but we’ll see. Maybe RusFed will be humane for once and puts the Mozalenko half that doesn’t get to got to Olympics into the Worlds right away like Browlinin?
Rusfed humane? That would be nice.
Don't worry there are no rules on double posting here, I have seen some fan Fest threads where it's mostly one or two users posting updates. (it's a good thing they are getting more exposure for the skater!)
I must say, Andrei does seem to have an introverted, melancholy air about him. It works very well for the SP this year but I'd like to see him less tense and project some more as he gets more experience. I think that's one of the reasons why some skaters have struggled to get good PCS despite good SS. Andrei's good showing at Euros this year should give some breathing room regarding GP spots for the next two years or so, so it's less "do or die" for a while.
I'm glad this year's programs are more mainstream!
