Top 8 after FS

1 Daniil Samsonov 222.44 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kCUcvkDlSog the cleanest, clean SP, FS with 1 pop
2 Petr Gumennik 212.22 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0B66i1qNQVA I'm still shook over the 3A3Lo honestly.
3 Egor Rukhin 212.21 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=plxpGXxBxqA he did medal Spirals!
4 Matvei Vetlugin 207.17 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jFlcffIG7Qk :sad4:
5 Mikhail Polyansky 207.3 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8TsdqW6s_3c
6 Kirill Yakovlev 202.3 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kkRyiRKEJho
7 Andrei Kutovoy 200.04 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MvTXjHKbfEY He's still a baby, he'll be fine.
8 Artem Kovalev 196.22 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zwkdkzhYNlA both 3As were <. Lacking polish. Those ahead of him have spin bonuses and better +GOE on elements. He was probably lowballed, but what was with the 2T2Lo 4th combo? Brain fart?

Don't know what happened to Rukhin yesterday but nice comeback!
4 boys got bonuses on spins - Samsonov 2 bonuses, Gummenik Rukhin and Kutovoy 1. No one got StSq4 again, though a few more got level 3.
Daniil's PCS a bit too high, but deserved win.

 

[Spirals for Miles]

Oy vey, Uliana and Sergei are VERY slow...
and with an invalidated death spiral, too

 

[Spirals for Miles]

Valeria and Vladimir have good speed and a great side-by-side spin, but man, she can't control her landings at all! neither the throws nor the side by side jumps...
also liked their twist and the height on their throws

 

[Spirals for Miles]

Well it wasn't Elvira and Alexei's best performance but I really liked them!
she tried so hard on that throw, poor girl, she almost had it! but no

 

[Spirals for Miles]

Whole time I was watching Alina and Mikhail, all I could think of was how much I missed Daria and Denis. Because of the music.

 

[Spirals for Miles]

That was a pretty good skate from Daria and Aleksandr!

 

[Azikin]

Another Chaplin..

 

[Mawwerg]

Oh, did Kanysheva fall?

 

[Azikin]

Oh, did Kanysheva fall?

Yep, 3L fall..

 

[Azikin]

Not very impressive so far.. second group should be better..

 

[Mawwerg]

Moscow girls marks are not so high as at Qualifiers so far.

 

[AlexRus]

Kanysheva 3Lz fall, Chistyakova 3F+2T with not so good exit, Pavlova 3F+2T.

 

[mau]

Omg, Egor behind Gumennik by 0.01. But I’m happy he medaled.

Gumennik 3A3Lo was wild. :shocked: I don’t remember seeing this before.

Daniil's programs are a bit cringeworthy, but I’ll forgive him.

Sad about Kovalev.

 

[Grin]

Solid jumps and nice ss from Kostuk

 

[Grin]

Poor Polina Stepanova, such a hard fall (

 

[Spirals for Miles]

that's quite the song choice...

good luck to Anya!!!!!

 

[Grin]

Anna

 

[Spirals for Miles]

Anya, clean, and unsurprisingly stunning
3F and 3Lz are now rippon instead of tano, gorgeous rippon
Layback looked to have more flexibility
Let's hope 14 is kinder than 13

oh wow she gets a plushie!

 

[SnowWhite]

Combo maybe could have had more flow, but that was very nice. 70.19, 1st
