After Misha and Mark, that felt like a bit of a letdown

What's the point of trying such a difficult content on the test skates?

YOLO?

Also don't forget this is for the opportunity to go through Neblehorn and secure the third spot! Very important!

Makar, I love you, but RusFed better send Sasha S. or Mark K. to Nebelhorn for that third spot.
Also, lose the illusion spin please.

Well this is Russian test skates. You want to show as much as you can.

Makar! 4 quads! With that stamina?

Rukavicin really should send him on jogging trips Saint Petersburg-Moscow. He can bring Aliev.

Did Mark have paintings exhibited at a modern art museum or something? I think I saw a photo somewhere but could be wrong.

Yes he had

Like...I'm gonna regret saying this, but a lot of people have attacked Misha for skating to SL while not being Jewish.

But...Mark just skated to a program about Jesus with some rather...confronting imagery. Are Christians therefore entitled to ask when he last went to church? What about all the Ava Maria's?

I'm gonna regret this post... aren't I?

Earnestly, I think there is a difference. In many countries Christianity is a majority religion, and even if you aren’t Christian if you live in those countries (like Russia, France, America, etc) you’ve definitely been exposed to a lot of the imagery and beliefs and have a pretty good idea what the religion is about. Also, there’s a difference between invoking Jesus and invoking an attempted genocide. Like “Papa Can You Hear Me?” is actually Jewish in context but I don’t think anyone’s ever gotten offended that at it being skated by non-Jews unless they specifically used Christian imagery.

Yes! His Insta is https://instagram.com/ninety.ninth

Well worth visiting

Kolyada was very consistent last season, just for the record. But this new program is very inferior to his previous one, sadly.

He did! A lot of other skaters visited his exhibition too. It's all documented in his fan fest.

Cocaine?

(today I'm only interested in drug related puns)

That's totally fine by me!

Davai, Dima! Redemption!

One of my favourite musics

 

[Skatesocs]

I think he's the best PCS Russian male but the program is just... bleurgh. (nice ChSq though!)

 

[LadyB]

Davai, Dima! Show them your still part of the top notch!

So, rumor has it that Dmitri gave up his Nebelhorn spot because he broke his hand/wrist and only got the plaster off two weeks ago.

Earnestly, I think there is a difference.

I guess... although I swore I saw a "sexy" take on Ava Maria once... Which is a hymn about the Virgin Mary. That's kind of taking the piss.

After the Waltz costume, this is my favourite costume of Aliev's.

Aliev is

Waltz always seem to work for Dima.

I would have to see where are the ur and pops in slow motion ... but in PCs terms is .. but if he fails in Nb he won't be in the olympic team and is a risk
