Very up-and down for Misha...

That was an elegant pop +5.00 GOE.

When Kolyada first came onto the scene and was fighting for the top spot with Kovtun, I did not care for him too much, but he has really grown on me, lovely interpretation

 

[Skatesocs]

I have a lot to say about this program (basically didn't like it) - but he could have been Schindler, and that didn't happen, so will ignore it lol.

I love Misha.. but I hope he goes back to Nureyev.

ETA: That being said, I could watch him skate around all day... there's something really soothing about his skating.

 

[Lamente Ariane]

You know, I tried to reserve judgement but this is definitely several steps down from Nureyev, sorry Misha.

 

[figureskatingandrainbows]

Misha has the posture and lines to make anything look good, but Nureyev was better.

 

[anonymoose_au]

That was pretty good.

 

[Ichatdelune]

Okay, jumps aside, Kolyada is a fantastic skater and the program isn't bad per say, but can he PLEASE bring back Nureyev this one is going to just pale so bad in comparison to Jason's SL

 

[Artemisa]

I like program but pop and falls

 

[Hyena]

One beautiful 3A and one pop is pure Misha.

I like this program a lot. It's so intentional in the movements. I was a little nervous how it would compare to Jason Brown (one of my other big faves) but they're totally different approaches, both legitimate, meaningful, and beautiful.

 

[Jontor]

Well done Mikhail Some troubles along the way, I guess he missed the eul+3S at the end.

 

[chasingneverland]

Oh Misha you stunningly beautiful inconsistent mess!

 

[anonymoose_au]

I've just realised...no way does Mishin look 80. He will endure!

 

[Skatesocs]

But he is obviously working on a 4Lo?? He didn't have a 4Lo before did he?

No? The 4S.

 

[LadyB]

He's just got wonderful skating skills and floats with the music beautifully.
But I also preferred Nureyev.

 

[ana]

Beautiful programme, too bad about mistakes.

 

[Jontor]

No? The 4S.

Yes, I saw my mistake on the recap...

 

[Artemisa]

He have to nail the jumps... but yes Jason is the master of PCs

 

[Totentanz]

Can any of these talented bunch of men get consistent for God's sake?!?!?
