Roman Sadovsky

Considering that I'm a technologically backwards dinosaur, I'm impressed that Roman can build his own computer; I can barely use my PC properly : https://www.instagram.com/p/BX1vcXxAX2S/

The complete setup on his desk: https://www.instagram.com/p/BX1vM8UgNlt/

Uhh... I saw drums in the background! Our boy seems to have many hidden talents!
And Roman, why are you saying that's a "she". Computers are clearly dudes for me. :roll5:

Beauty! Do you by chance know how he performed? I now it's not a competition, but I wonder how his jumps were. He doesn't look so happy out there. Or maybe he is just to focused.

 

[Mango]

He stepped out of his 3A if I recall correctly but otherwise it looked good. He didn't appear unhappy, just focused on performing. He has a persona in this SP of a vampire and so he was in that zone. I think it's a good fit and am looking forward to seeing him perform this in Thornhill.

Thank you so much for finding these great pics! Roman wearing red is just . If I were to die because of a vampire, then being entranced by this vampire prince's incredible dance skills before I become his next meal is the best way to go.

Uhh... I saw drums in the background! Our boy seems to have many hidden talents!

I noticed the drums, too! He's tech-savvy and a musician. :luv17:

I think it's a good fit and am looking forward to seeing him perform this in Thornhill.

You're so lucky! I'm sure you'll have a blast.

Roman won the bronze medal at the Skate Ontario Summer Skate, and more importantly, he has achieved the 220 points domestic minimum! These are my screen recordings of his performances (the password for both videos is roman):

I love how Roman is embracing his "dark side."

The moon is my sun, the night is my day, blood is my life, and you are my prey. �� #vampiremasquerade https://www.instagram.com/p/BYE-XWyAYsA/


In a sense, his fangs have "drained the life" of all his competitors (with the exception of Stephen, who I suppose is the vampire hunter in this scenario ) because he's ranked 2nd in the Senior Men National Summer Series Ranking: https://info.skatecanada.ca/hc/en-ca/articles/115003798483-Results

Since Stephen is too young to compete as a senior (or junior) internationally, does that mean Roman is the front runner for the 3rd SCI spot?

 

[Mango]

After Nicolas' score at Championnats I would not say Roman is the front runner but Roman can get a Challenger Series event.

A clip of Roman from his very first JGP event; his big grin at the end is : https://www.instagram.com/p/BYHzsjJghml/

 

[siberia82]

Roman is the third skater featured in Beverley Smith's "Boys to Men" article: https://bevsmithwrites.wordpress.com/2017/08/22/boys-to-men/

Now that I'm 100% sure that he's a full-fledged senior ("Sadovsky has left behind the Junior Grand Prix for this season and is entirely a senior"), it turns out the dream I had 5 weeks before I had learned that Nam had disclosed in an IG livestream that Roman was no longer a junior was prophetic. I even dismissed it as being "just a dream," but clearly my subconscious is smarter than my conscious mind. Or our vampire prince has telepathic abilities (Lestat in Anne Rice's The Vampire Chronicles can read minds, for instance), and Roman chose to communicate with me through my dream to help me understand why he didn't keep his previous SP.

I had a dream where he announced that the reason why he dumped "Exogenesis" was because he's planning to move up to the senior ranks, and he needed more sophisticated programs to better reflect what he's capable of presentation-wise.

So the next competition for Roman is Finlandia Trophy. It's a great competition so hopefully he gets some good experience.

His fan fest OP hasn't been updated since last year. Doris, do you need some help with that?

So the next competition for Roman is Finlandia Trophy. It's a great competition so hopefully he gets some good experience.

That is wonderful news! I was becoming a bit concerned because the other Canadian guys had received a CS, but Roman did not. Where did you find this information? I had checked the Skate Canada and ISU's Finlandia Trophy websites, but I couldn't locate his name on the former or an entries list on the latter.

 

[Mango]

Nam said it in a livestream when asked what their next competitions were.

These four vids are from the 2017 Nationals, so they're nothing new, but I realized that I hadn't posted them on this thread yet. I've isolated them from Skate Canada's archived livestreams of the Senior Men practice sessions.

I've also made compilations of his warm-ups from his JGP events from last season.

Roman is officially confirmed for Finlandia: http://www.isuresults.com/events/cat03108211.htm

That is a tough line up with Boyang, Kevin, Kolyada, Kovtun, Adam and Vincent. hwell: Good Luck honey!

 

[Kuan]

I don't know if its old or new: Roman with Elizaveta Nugumanova. That handsome boy must be be really popular among the young girls. :luv17:

Well, we shouldn't expect him to medal (although there's nothing wrong with hoping), but as Mango had pointed out earlier, this competition should provide Roman with valuable experience. He's probably eager to see how he fares in the "big boys" sandbox.

I don't know if its old or new: Roman with Elizaveta Nugumanova.

It's old; I recognize this image because I saw it on Facebook last year (https://www.facebook.com/ElizavetaNugumanova/photos/a.336240006568871.1073741828.336235023236036/565465426979660/?type=3&theater), but I wasn't Roman's fan in the fall of 2016, so I didn't share it here (and I promptly forgot about its existence, so thanks for reminding me).

I've noticed that Elizaveta's second snapshot with him was taken a few days later (I guess one nice pic of Roman wasn't enough for her ): https://www.facebook.com/ElizavetaNugumanova/photos/a.336240006568871.1073741828.336235023236036/567054826820720/?type=3&theater He's so TALL that he has to bend down a little for both selfies.


I know that Roman's parents are from the Ukraine, but is he of Russian descent?

That handsome boy must be be really popular among the young girls. :luv17:

I'm sure he is. Doesn't he have a lot of Japanese fangirls?

 

[TGee]

I know that Roman's parents are from the Ukraine, but is he of Russian descent?

The 'sky' suffix indicates that his father's ancestors lived in what is now western Ukraine during the time those territories were under the Polish empire...i.e. Centuries ago.

Can't say more than that other than Roman is a popular western Ukrainian name, but exists in both heritages.

I haven't heard him quoted about Russian heritage ....but many folks with both are being very circumspect given the current international tensions.

I've finally uploaded my screen recording of the 2017 SOSS Senior Men SP Group 2 Warm-Up (the password is roman): [Dead link]

It's only 3.5 minutes long because the camera had focused on the previous skater's kiss & cry for the first 2.5 minutes. There is no footage of the Group 2 LP warm-up because the judges took a very long time to calculate the last competitor's score.



There was a nice 1-minute fanvid of Roman that used to be on Instagram, but I've noticed that the post has been deleted, so I've made it available here:

Looking forward to finally seeing Roman in person at Finlandia!
