Gala Competition "Russian Challenge" 2023

So, in Yagudin vs Plushenko, I am Team Plushenko. Again.

I was always in the Yags camp - I don't care anymore as Plushenko is Plushenko and Yags talks a lot if rubbish outside skating. But hey, this has nothing to do with this event, so good luck to all.

 

[Cherub721]

Yes!!!!!

 

[EdgeCall]

20 Points! A walkthrough. And there are still five skaters to come.

 

[icybear]

So either he wins or there is a tie

 

[Cherub721]

He's really milking the moment haha. Love it.

I do wonder how this will be scored more comedic skates have not been appreciated by the judges but this is Yagudin we are talking about.

It’s a birthday gift for Yagudin and props to Tarasova.

1 of the judges was standing up and clapping so...

 

[chooey]

It's clear who will be the winner with that score isn't it?
But I love that

 

[LadyB]

If there's anyone out there with a sound mind and thinks that is a fair scoring...hallelujah, mate, welcome to figure skating! Jesus Christ, you couldn't make it up! It's almost embarrassing.

Its his birthday as well, I kinda wonder if that's the 'plan' so no one gets their feelings hurt too much.

I couldn't understand a word but felt like he was working over the judges. But we can't just have female singles skaters taking the top 3 on outright ability.

Just thought Plushenko skates better in that age group. Wonder why he didn’t take the ice tbh. I guess health problems are catching up to him…

 

[Mariiiiskate]

These two do drama so well
God Maxim is so attractive

 

[lariko]

This was so boring….

Kamila’s attire will say a lot. If she comes out with a Wednesday type outfit, she probably won’t be attempting any high risk jumps.

And he was Chiskaridze,that counts double.

 

[Cherub721]

They are still the classiest!

 

[Mariott]

So Andrei gets to bring along 5 extra female dancers but Evgeni has to do with a plastic blow up skater. Unfair

Andrei can pay attention to seven beautiful girls at the same time, while Eugene only has enough money for a doll. It's good to be a sex symbol

Didn't they say they received over a hundred applications, and could only select 24 skaters to take part? I wish the names of the ones that didn't make the cut got leaked. That would be the real drama of the event!

 

[JimR]

Kamila next. So exciting
