2018-19 Russian Men's figure skating

gsk8 · Sep 13, 2018

Hi folks,

Just a friendly blanket reminder :pray:

Please keep ALL competition chat in the Competition forums until the entire event is over. This includes scores, starting orders, elements, GOES, links to videos, etc.

You may discuss a skater's performance in their individual Fan Fest folder as long as you are not comparing them to other skaters or posting general event info until the competition is over.

Thanks for you understanding and for supporting Golden Skate!

Gumennik won! :hap57:

Ahh, we need fan fests for Petr Gumennik and Andrei Lazukin. I fee both of them could amaze us in the future. Andrei scored higher at Lombardia with bronze than winner of US IC winner. And Petr just won with the highest FS score among junior men in Canada!
Which is his second JGP?

JGP Ljubljana is Gumennik's 2nd JGP

It may still be better to move him to the last JGP in Armenia.

Why pile on an already packed event?

Petr was so strong in Richmond. He deserves a good opportunity to come into the JGP final with two golds.

Samarin's Nepela SP had actual choreo and he actually performed it, yay! But this is obviously too early an event for him after his summer health problems. Sasha's coaching team, please learn from your mistakes and don't force his form this time! Who is training Voronov right now, anyway? Why do an 3Lz and hit the boards instead of his favourite 3Lo? Kolyada so far seems to be skating in his own competition but let's wait and see on Saturday.

Lana05 · Sep 20, 2018

Voronov is planning to add 4Lo. He wants to risk. https://www.sports.ru/figure-skating/1066854756.html
He competes for a long time, so why not to try smth new. He still could amaze. So probably his programs will change later.
Petr is planning to add 4S in Slovenia https://www.sports.ru/figure-skating/1067003858.html

When Gumennik went to Canada many said that he was not lucky with the event. Because there will be Gogolev and he is a dangerous opponent especially at home. But Petr did it. I hope he will continue to perform well.

I actually have a great deal of confidence in Petr too.

But like Gogolev, there will be tremendous pressure to get a second gold...and we already hear that he thinks to add a quad.

Thus the question is whether the RusFed sees him as many of us do, and changes their tactics to maximize his chances rather than putting it on him to succeed in a packed field.

Is it just me, or is it weird that we haven't seen any of the skaters from Vasilievski and Lavrenchuk's group yet? Samoilov is on the reserve national team. I thought that we'd have seen him compete at least once by now.

When is Kovtun going to skate anywhere? We have seen two Carmens out of three so far.

Nevermind. Max pulled out.

Well, he will have to show up at some point if he wants to make nationals.

Really? Wow is there some injury he's battling? Or is he not ready? :scratch2:

I'm rather interested in seeing his Carmen program.

How many competitions does the Cup of Russia has? And how many time has a skater to compete to have a chance to qualify to national championship?

Five events and two counts towards qualification. It's like qualifying for the GPF.
