2018 Russian FS Championships Men FS

[SarahSynchro]

Actually the song would make a better program IMO for Mikhail than this Elvis randomizer... And it would fit to his skate... to my despair

Seriously.

All I could think about was how Elvis died on the toilet...

 

[EdgeCall]

Looks like the men really consider going to Pyeongchang a punishment rather than a reward.

 

[NoNameFace]

Deduction box looks depressing...

 

[xeyra]

Nationals PCS are the best.

 

[Anni234]

I want Aliev to skate lights out but I also want Voronov on the podium :gaah:

 

[snowflake]

Not the performance Misha wanted to win. The pressure is really getting to the men.

Yes, I really hope we'll not see an echo at US men's nationals...

Aliev, outskate them!

 

[QueenOfTheRoad]

Oh man, that was for Voronov

 

[Anni234]

what was with that fall?!?!?!

 

[Winnie_20]

bummer, it was going pretty well, and then it became a bit of a mess...

 

[QueenOfTheRoad]

Oh, i jinxed Aliev, now.

I somehow feel that pressure got to all Men actually this season, but Mikhail was never super consistent skater either...

 

[cathlen]

So there was no guy in last group who wanted to win. Literally none. The future looks so bright....

Dima is such beautiful skater... Why Men can't borrow some of Ladies consistency?

 

[xeyra]

Dima was so tired by the end. :sad21:

 

[blue_idealist]

Yikes.

 

[cleo2070]

I nearly jolted out of my chair when he fell, it was so unexpected...

But on the other hand, what a lovely supportive audience

Or perhaps they wanted too bad to win.

 

[NoNameFace]

Nationals PCS are the best.

... maybe on the paper (I know, the irony...),but such PCS can cause more harm than profit I think, especially with subpar skates

 

[readernick]

The content is too difficult in Mens. Too many quads. Not even Yazuru Hanyu possibly the best skater of all time can execute perfectly. Need to reduce the number of jumping passes. Love Dmitri though..lovely skater

 

[QueenOfTheRoad]

Voronov :sad21:

 

[crankyintheAM]

Do they need to push Samarin PCS that much? Even with 80 PCS he still be #1 since he has 10 point gap in SP, i guess they dont want Dima to be in Top 2 too

Few things as empty as Samarin's program, jumps aside. Those PCS are offensive!

What a disaster of a competition! I'm so sad for Voronov, this was his last chance to make it to the Olympics, and he had been doing well, even great for him. My interest in the OG keeps going down at fast speed.

Oh, Aliev!
