Sergei Voronov

[silverfoxes]

Hopefully the results of the GPF will give Sergei a bit of a PCS boost. Anyone with eyes can see the difference in the quality of their skating. I am nervous, but I will stay cautiously optimistic.

Rewatched the GPF medal ceremony (yeah, judge me) and wow, he is soooooooooo handsome.
I'm really liking his LP this year too in spite of the strange music choices. So happy he got bronze, he deserved it!

I like the nickname "Sexey" that someone came up with in the GPF thread.

Evgeni Plushenko: "Voronov potential is far from exhausted"

Two-time Olympic champion Evgeni Plushenko praised the performance of Sergei Voronov Russian figure skater in the Grand Prix Final (3rd place).

"This season, Sergey demonstrates a very good hire. If he can accurately perform two quadruple jumps in the free program, you will be fully able to win the championship of Russia and compete for gold at the European Championships. This skater potential is far from exhausted "- quoted Plushenko TASS

I'm gonna have to say Plushy is wrong about that. Sergei is simply an athlete who missed his calling.

With technique like this he should be a footballer :yes:

 

[silverfoxes]

He was already a football...is that close enough?

 

[Sandpiper]

Thank goodness he didn't skate as a football this season. It would've made the SP underscoring even more sad.

On a more serious note: I love how much confidence Plushy has in Sergei... I think Sergei can take Nationals. Europeans... I'm not sure. Javi is prone to errors (I'm his fan, but I have to admit this). But Sergei has to be foot-perfect, not merely good. Still, he just beat Mura, who beat Javi in SC, so anything's possible.

Plushy speaking out for Voronov was very important, his word carries some influence.

Just 9 days to Russian Nationals. The most anticipated competition of the season IMO. Very excited.

So glad for him. I know it's based on point accumulation, so the senior Bs helped him out there, but it's still pretty impressive. And he's at #6 in the World rankings right now. I bet very few people could ever have predicted that he would do this well, this late into his career. Hopefully, the upward trajectory will continue.

I'm grateful to Eteri for taking him on when others refused - she just seems like a fabulous coach who understands her skaters as human beings and knows how to bring out the best in them.

I was OVER the MOON for seeing Sergei on GPF podium this past weekend!

Go Sergei!!!

I am confident he's going to go to Euros and Worlds, but I would love for him to win gold and (maybe? hopefully?) finally get the respect he deserves! He's one of the most consistent men this season, yet even after winning bronze in the Grand Prix, he still gets virtually no hype and no media coverage, it's still all about Kovtun...what a shame! Time for the silver foxes to show what they can do! I really want Sergei and Kostya on that podium...

 

[dorispulaski]

best of good luck!
