Sergei Voronov

I would rearrange some things in the FS to better match the climax of the music, but overall, I think the programs have good potential, especially if Misha keeps working with him. Every season people act like he is a non-factor, but at least he landed most of his jumps and is pretty dependable most of the time. Kovtun is a question mark after missing so much training, Mikhail and Dima are ambitious but inconsistent, Samarin & Petrov are looking pretty juniorish still. I would never count Sergei out.

I would never count Sergei out.

Keeping all fingers crossed. I just hope, he is not peaking too soon. He looked more prepared than his competitors (those I watched).

I couldn't agree more. It really winds me up big time how he is so blatantly ignored by the Fed, commentators and even some who thankfully put videos on YouTube. :scowl:
I enjoyed both his programmes, especially the FS. I think (and hope) Sergei and Misha are a match made in heaven. Gutted he wasn't picked for Finlandia.

It took me a clicking back a few pages to find Sergei's fan fest, but excellent news!

He came second at Nepela! Goooo Sergei!

Here's his SP which he came 1st in - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uc9rLR-SOIg

And the FS: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q837cISxIyI

Both links are courtsey of Mao88 at the Nepela thread, thanks Mao88!

I wish there was some way to get the Russian Fed to give Sergei the respect he deserves! I'd love to see him at the Olympics!

Hope he had a great day!!! I was quietly hoping he'd replace Max at Finlandia....

 

[silverfoxes]

Happy 30th! I guess he is officially the oldest guy in the Russian team after K/S's retirement - and still going strong!

 

[LadyB]

Yesss, you tell them, Sergei. Go for it!

Unfortunately the last half minute is missing and according to the protocols there should have been a fall (not on an element though). But I still think he did great. Way to go Sergei! I so much hope he'll qualify for the Olympic team.

By the way does anyone remember that stupid interview of Eteri last May when she stated that Sergei left her basically because not getting around with Adian? Well, complete nonsens of course. :dev2: Sergei is probably one of the nicest persons in the whole circuit. So knowing it's not true I approached him at Nepala trophy to write something in Adian's farewell book. Sergei immediately agreed and his words were so nice and warm-hearted that I even got teary when reading afterwards. Here is a picture of him signing the book: https://vk.com/adyan_pitkeev?z=photo-58643094_456239047/wall-58643094_2026

Great skater, great character!

He not only won, but that's quite a good score for him, even with some minor issues. And shows that he is steadily improving, and consistent. He would have won bronze in Canada. It will be tough at NHK, but he's done it before.

I'm definitely not surprised that he is a nice guy or that he had a good relationship with Adian. I think Eteri exaggerated some things and left out other things that would not have painted her in a good light. Oh well...water under the bridge.

I'm rooting for Sergei to be on the Olympics team . If he keeps this up he deserves to be on the team. Good luck with the long program, slay Sergei!

I missed out on watching yesterday, but this is awesome news! So excited for Sergei and fingers and toes crossed for the Free Skate.

Go, Sergei, show 'em who's boss!

 

[Arriba627]

Come on Gramps! Get on that podium!!!!

 

[The Finn]

WOW!! He won, I can't believe it. His first ever GP victory - at the age of 30!! And his score was a HUGE PB. That was amazing.
