GOOOOOOOO ZHENYA!!!!!

 

[Nadine]

Lol, I wish they had a translator, only able to make out a few words. One was the name "Elllldriddgge" uttered by Tarasova. Must be talking about Evgeni's age, as I recognize his name being spoken often, lol.

 

[Nadine]

Darn, my first link just crashed, but since poster let's talk posted 11 links, I'm using one of those without problems, yeah!!!!

Clarity beautiful, there they ALL are!!!! :yay: Oops, but Zhenya is scheduled to skate in the next group.

1 hour to go ???

GO ZHENYA !!!!
and Baby Maxim too :yay:

Group 2 is All there is, LOL

 

[Nadine]

I don't recognize anybody at all in this first group. But happy to see them all practicing.

 

[Nadine]

Screen blanked out for only a few seconds, was fortunate to watch 99% of the first young man on the ice. Both hands down on opening 3A, and minor stepouts/fallouts on a few more triples, but okay beginning.

ps: RUSSIAN NATIONALS IS "PACKED"! FULL HOUSE!!!

 

[Nadine]

Was that an opening quad the second man attempted? Like the one before him, stepouts/fallouts on his triples. And his appearance is unkempt, like he just crawled out of bed, otherwise I like his long, lean, elegant look on the ice. Lol, they're all emulating Zhenya to a certain degree, including the camel into donut spin, et al.

 

[Nadine]

This nice fresh-faced young blonde man has been my fav thus far. Except for the fall on the opening 3A, his other jumps were very nice, including the 3/3 combo. and the lovely three turns into 3R. Lol, and did he borrow that costume from Johnny Weir (looks like his "Swan" costume).

 

[Nadine]

MY favoroite thus far, BRAVO! He tries to be an original, very inventive unusual moves. And his opening 4/2 combo. was FAB! However, I knew he would fall on his following 3A b/c he was so slow and hesistant going in, took too long, but nice comeback with 3L. And his unusual spin reminded me of Russian dancer on his knees kicking out & holding his blade. However, very very slow & weak camel spin. Still, one to keep an eye on in the future.

 

[Nadine]

ps: and his cantilever spiral was GORGEOUS, and into 1st!

 

[Nadine]

I really detest this cutsie pie program, he's deserving of so much more for someone with such a marvelous somatype, tall, lean, elegant. Nice stretch & toepoint, but ALL the men have fallen on their 3Axels, which just reinforces how hard it is to do. But nice comeback with the other jumps.

 

[Nadine]

and into 3rd he goes, seems right to me.

 

[Nadine]

My gosh, I swear I've seen this guy before, almost positive. He has that concentration camp victim look about him. 2A, 3/3 combo, 3L (landed but then fell immediately afterwards, odd). Slow, boring imho.

 

[Nadine]

oops, upon replay looks like a 3A, sorry about that.

 

[sky_fly20]

2nd GROUP to go.
this will be interesting. this group is all packed !!

 

[Nadine]

and into 3rd he goes. Zhenya up next!!!!! :yay:

 

[snowflake]

Glad you can watch Nadine… your enthusiasm is contagious Now I just wish everything works for me when Evgeni skates on the delayed channel I can see on and off. So far so good.

 

[sky_fly20]

its finally 2nd group now
OMG, Goo Zhenya and Maxim
