I'm outraged. The only question is will kovtun do better then he did last year. No reason to believe he has the capability! With his double axel short programs or his 3t 1t short programs whenever he's a senior! It's about time he shows some senior talent and hopefully he's taking this seriously and is trying to redeem himself of his every competition since jrgpf being awful in some way or multiple ways! This should not be a show to him but serious stuff to show that he has actually improved from last year wtt and there's no evidence he has since jrgpf.
