Final Cup of Russia

Smug chess player and a piano enthusiast. That's a rather specific combo. Care to elaborate?

This one guy looks like a very smug chess player/piano enthusiast. Don't ask me why I think that. But I wonder why he chose figure skating then.

It's not uncommon that skaters also play the piano to a high standard. Eric Radford springs to mind. Ilya Mironov used to perform in front of an audience as a kid.

If you play chess, you are probably smug. And play the piano to show off your high-level tastes. And go to Harvard. Duh.

 

[LadyB]

They must be magic, I don't even mind them skating to Jacko, whom I totally don't like. That goes for his music as well.

 

[Skatesocs]

That was okay. I like that they both performed, the previous pairing only had the guy performing.

Love the iconic ending pose! Although I would have switch them and have the girl do the splits and the boy do the hat pose.

 

[EdgeCall]

Not bad, but for MJ it needs more drive.

I gotchu dawg.

 

[Skatesocs]

I hope SCP/PE (DAMWITT) is better at chess?

 

[katymay]

Oh no

 

[EdgeCall]

That wasn't so spectacular. Quite fitting that the SBS spin got down the drain.

She withdrew, I guess in order not to spoil the effect of her bronze at nationals? I don’t know, no injury was cited, they just announced that only Veronika is going.

Did she withdrew or simply didn’t qualify because she had to withdraw earlier with the injury from one of the earlier stages? I seem to vaguely remember it....

Zakharova

assuming that the translation of Zakhar is Zachary, it should mean doughter/son (in the masculin version) of Zachary, as a patronimic form, wich is usual for last names all over the western world

Why are you doing this to me all afternoon?

 

[rollerblade]

Is Mark a common Russian name? I was kinda thrown off by the few junior Marks.

Ditto Tiffany. (Zahorski)
