Please do yourself a solid and stay on the podium! !Considering how Misha immediately got attacked for simplifying the SP, I don't really see that happening as a longterm solution. But for now it worked.
He had already skated it clean once before. Well, except for losing levels on a spin.
TAT actually called it a "ladies' program" and complained that he had no jumps in the second half of the program

Misha is actually the second skater in history who got 100+ with a one-quad program. I know it's because of a confluence of things, but you can say Nathan is where he is because of a confluence of things as well.

A man's program is one with two quads, obviously, preferably a quad lutz in there. Even if you skate it like Samarin on his last two attempts. Honestly, I was prepared to give TAT the benefit of doubt but at this point I am not sure what she is smoking (Misha's 3A is in the second half of the program) and she obviously is not even trying to be fair to Misha. It's CSKA all the way for her.
Misha won a medal at every competition this season except Finlandia and individual Olympics, so the medal count itself is not an issue. But once he developed problems with his SP starting from Euros simplifying it definitely made sense, he was losing too many points there. And I think it gave him a confidence boost. At least his 4T now seems better than it was at the last two competitions, fingers crossed.
