It's a video display format that was initially created for cathodic televisions, hence why it's hardly ever used anymore...What's interlaced?

I just realised (having looked at this today) Vladislav's purple top reminds me of something Viktor Petrenko wore.
Well! I had hoped when everything started 2 hours earlier than I thought I might be able to catch the Pairs SP, but I have to get up at 7am so alas no.

Mark said he thinks his performance was almost perfect, but he hopes he can do better. He will have some rest and then start thinking of the free. No big goals, just to perform well in his first Nationals.

Sasha said he doesn't think a fall is a tragedy, his team supports him, for this season and after his illness it was ok. It's always difficult to get technique back, so he thinks he did reasonably well.

Yeah, awesome SP. Mark Kondratyuk was a pleasant surprise. Now, regarding Misha Kolyada, his non-jump elements are second only to Hanyu and Brown. Man, if he rehabilitates his 4Lz and 4S... He is a legit World, and maybe, Olympic podium contender. Yet I'm afraid that his old rotational leg fracture won't let him get past just a quad toe. Let's hope for the best. Also, looks like Mozalev didn't get a downgrade on his 4F, but we'll have to wait for protocols.
Cheers, see y'all tomorrow for the FS.

Gumennik came into the competition with a back injury. Mozalev injured his knee on that 4F fall. It won't be easy for either of them.

Oh what a joy! I do love the Russian men. Always good for some spectacular surprises. When Mikhail's on, he's really on. Great SP and deserved winner here. The veteran (was he the oldest competitor at 25? Some of them seemed to be so young with real baby faces) wins - well so far. Allready looking forward to his wonderful Nurejev FS. When Makar smiles, he seems to be such a nice guy. I wish he did that more often. And what a skate!!!! Very good indeed. Keeping my fingers crossed for the FS, because in my (limited) experience stamina tends to be an issue with Makar. I hope not, I wish to see him shine. The big surprise was Mark. Never noticed him before (sorry to all the fans) but did he show us some skating. Poor Andrei, but what a fighter. Awkward fall, then back on track immediately. His skating is beautiful, especially considering how young he is (but without the baby face). Alexander has a fitting programme, make him almost look artistic. Fall or not, he did look good. And I loved Egor Murashov. Another newbe for me, pretty impressive though. Yet another good event here.

Watched this despite my faves (Aliev, Danielian) were absent. Hoped for Kovalev to do well (loved him as a tiny junior skater) - those jumps were working nicely, but the boy should work hard on those spins. The fall in the steps 
But not a total catastrophe thinking of what happened after that. Ignatov was ok, however, not very memorable in my case - had to look him up now to remind myself what he did... The same applies to the other top guys, overall ok, but nothing to go wild about.
Well, apart Kolyada. But in his case I am always in a state of confusion and bafflement. He is a good skater, those elements on their own are very good quality (when they work out), he has good skating skills, speed and all. But it is everything else around the elements that just doesn't work for me. I have kept wondering whether it is just the rather awful choreographies he has been given, but over the years I have come to the conlcusion that he just does not have a whole lot of performance skills. This SP for Kolyada is by a new choreographer, but it simply rehashes some old programs (like Elvis). The song has a nice upbeat tempo and rhythm that Kolyada is completely unable to follow (the steps looked like they belonged to some other program with mush slower music), his posture is for the most part strictly ballet which is completely out of place in a jazzy piece, and so on. He has no charm whatsoever nor the kind of natural playfulness that would make this program work. So those three last PCS categories seemed a bit over the top in my eyes.
