Well, tomorrow is the deadline for World's entries, so at least we should know quickly whom RusFed will send.

That this arena is unlucky for him, on the money, he always pops.

*added more detail but keep in mind might get some meaning a bit off
I didn't hear everything Dima said but he said that he will be really sad if he won't go to Worlds. He said it was already very sad when he couldn't go last year, so not going this year will be really terrible. He talked about wanting to be the true "Aliev" that can represent his country at big competitions. He said that it was terrible for him to do so bad in the short, maybe not the point gap but the placement– he is the European champion and should be able to keep nerves in check.
The interviewer joked to Mark that Zhenya Medvedeva was here, but he still had a really bad skate. Mark said it wasn't that bad, just the two first jumps. Mark said it's his first season competing at big competitions, so right now it's like this.
I really liked Petya's answers – he is very analytical, articulate and blunt. He said that if somebody told him beforehand he would end up second, he would be happy, but in this set of events – he isn't really, and he isn't happy with his skates. I thought this was very interesting that after Andrei M skated, Tamara Moskvina told Petya to not do all the hard jumps. He had to remember during the program his old transitions from the 'old program' from Rostelecom. He said that he had to follow what Tamara M said, so he just did what he had to. Then, he talked about all the things he didn't do too well in quite a lot of detail, which was endearing. He said that he was not in a good mood in the bus ride to the competition today, but he told himself already after the warmup to fight.
I am sorry for not complete translations, but what I remember is Andrei said he doesn't know how he fell on the jumps. He said "I was rotating, rotating, and then I fell!", something like that. It was quite endearing as well. He said that he is only seventeen, eighteen soon, so he still has time, but he doesn't want to waste time either.

Said after Mozalev’s skate he was told to lighten the program, since everyone fell, no need to push harder jumps. He struggled to remember old transitions in the changed program. Not everything worked out. Not ashamed of the performance, but it was neither good, nor bad
and Petya?

Russian pairs are always a joy. I want to see if M/ G are able to finally show their free program at its best. Their SP is wonderful, but I'm not sold on the FP and I usually love everything Moskvina creates.
