BTW did my eyes betrayed me or he tried 4lz at the Gala and stepped out (but no fall!)?
He did an overrotated 3lz - but I know, it's so big we kind of get confused every now and then.

Mika was supposed to skate at Tallinn Trophy but it seems that he withdrew. I pray it is not injury this season is just getting more depressing by the day...![]()

Are you sure? He's still in he entry list. (I mean, he was two days ago, and I they haven't published the official schedule for the men. And I saw in the vk community that they said he's not there, so I guess we'll wait)
Edit: correcting myself, he's not in the training list, so probably withdrew.![]()
It's possible he just realized participating at Tallinn is too close to GPF, which he might not have originally thought he'd attend.

He's not on the Entries list of the results page so that confirms it too.
Finally some news - thanks to his active VK group!
Misha is on the way to GPF and in a small interview taken just before his trip to Nagoya he said that the reasons for missing Tallinn Trophy were health related, but all is okay now - thank God!
There will be no changes in programs layout, he is still training 4lz3T combination but as of now not going to put it in competition.

hope, his health issues wasn't that serious. It's so much injuries in this sport this year, I wish for Mika at least to escape it somehow. Happy for him that he finnaly earned his first trip to Grand Prix Final. If I'm not mistaken, he is the only one senior participent, who never had been before in GPF neither senior or junior. Good luck!
Misha said "I think it was the right decision to let Russia participate in the Olympic games. To be honest, I cannot imagine the Olympics without the Russian team." The interpreter seems to have invented an entirely different answer. There has already been a backlash about his short interview on the subject in Russian, now this. Maybe Misha should just reply "no comment" to all questions about the Olympics.Men's press conference

13.30 - OMG, what have they translated? Where did any of it come from?Misha said "I think it was the right decision to let Russia participate in the Olympic games.

Yes, a good lead on the 4-6 group, too. Now all he needs is a good enough FS.On another note, good short program. At least good enough.
Now all we need is for someone to translate this translation back into Russian, and Misha will be buried under a torrent of vitriol. Sigh. He really doesn't need and interpreter's help to put his foot in his mouth, but in this particular instance his answer was totally aboveboard.

What does Misha have to do to get higher GOE on his step sequences? But at least the judges have rewarded his SS.
