Gonna go tell the cat his plan failed… hopefully. Popov needed just a little in the end. Did he save that bronze? Gosh!

In Russia… but, jokes aside, yeah, that’s when the ziggocactuses bloom, 2-3x a season.

I thought he had it until those last 2 jumping passes m but other than those and the 4lz he did so well
the entry of the 3A scared me tho I didn't think he was going to land it, I wish they would fix his leg wrap on the flip and the 3lz

Speaking of hair, Zonov probably woke up like that.
This must be another Zonov than the one who was in JGP last year. That one didn't have even a 3A?

Wow i thought he lost that axel sequence after that bad step which made him lose his speed. I really live that new rule 3A-2A-2A is really unique.

 

[Jontor]

Oh Popov, my little Pope, those Lutzes at the end killed me!!! It was sooo good up until then.

But surely he will take the lead anyway??

if his tech doesn't go down much he made it

This is Popov the one you remeber is Fedor Zonov

speaking of winter cacti...

 

[yume]

This is Popov

Thanks. I won't try to read cyrillic again.

 

[lariko]

Ah, now I can just enjoy Aliev till Mozalev. Popov did it!

 

[Jontor]

Yay! Popov to Nationals!!

 

[EdgeCall]

Ok, the mandatory popped axel. But please don't go any further.

 

[lariko]

There goes Mozalev’s 12 point lead… clean Aliev is going to be huge… save for 2Lo.

 

[Mariiiiskate]

After the final combo I said that I couldn't believe he was going clean and then he popped the final loop but honestly other than that he did so well, im so proud

 

[lariko]

Yay! Popov to Nationals!!

He just freaked us all out, then came a week later… he will be the happiest guy on that podium.
