2016 JGP Mordovia Mens SP

[Crossover]

The listed participants at the event are much fewer than the previous JGP events. That is one of the reasons not to expect a fierce competition.

How come only two Russian skaters?
They are supposed to able to have three as they are the hosting country.

Also wondering why only three groups of men.
Other countries did not want to sent their skaters to Russia, or Mordovia is very remote/hard to reach area???

I love Amelie soundtrack :luv17: Too bad the program didn't get so well...

Because #3 broke his leg in practice yesterday.:scowl:

The third Russian entry, Georgy Kunitsa, got injured in practice yesterday.

I liked Samarin for the first time ever. I thought he enjoyed his progam and sold it well. If he isn't going to skate to something like that now, then when?

"All the French skaters are unique and innovative".. what Ted said. :agree:

One got injured and it was too late to replace him....

Well, I actually think he's pretty similar to Florent and Kevin Aymoz, but there's nothing wrong with that, of course.

The original roster when first posted had 22 men on it, which would have made 4 groups

Yauhenii was so fun to watch although his jumps were not on a par with his presentation.

I've never heard of this version of Kiss.

Thanks those who answered my question.
It is always sad to know someone got injured right before a competition,
especially if it happens @international competition in his/her home country.:noshake::sad4:

Late so I've only caught up on Petr Gumennk and Samarin so far: Petr has oodles of performing ability, I rember from seeing him live last year, but he was a bit swallowed by mistakes. I hope he can get the elemts straightened out and loosen up because this programs seems to suit him otherwise. Samarin: wow, I love the program. :luv17: Shame about the jump, but other than that, great song choice, goid choreo for the most part and he pulls it off!:luv17: :luv17:

About 20 minutes to go for Andrew's turn! I can't wait to see him...I'm getting impatient now. :dance:

This seems to be happening so much this season (unless I'm just paying more attention than usual). We have the bus accident on the way to competition in France, Ashley Kim getting injured before the draw in Japan, now this.

Not exactly on the level of Javi's Black Betty, but that's a great score for Irakli...big improvement from last season

 

[cathlen]

New PB for Irakli, mamuth should be happy
