They looked very easy and comfortable! This was an awesome performance! I’m glad that things are going so well for him!
Maybe he has an outside shot to the Olympic team, given how top Russian men are inconsistent…

I know it's a little premature getting my hopes up, but this is a fanfest after all, and these articles don't exactly help

Heh, I don’t think Erokhov is up there with Chen or Uno yet, but, like, besting Kondratyuk and Semeneko in the internal pecking order could very well happen.I know it's a little premature getting my hopes up, but this is a fanfest after all, and these articles don't exactly help

But can we agree he is at least on par with Chen in terms of costumes? As in "I've found my favourite shirt, and now I'll skate in it forevermore?"

Oh, yes, totally, they are on the level field where skating fashion is concerned.But can we agree he is at least on par with Chen in terms of costumes? As in "I've found my favourite shirt, and now I'll skate in it forevermore?"

I sincerely hope RusFed gives Alexey a Challenger so that he can get GP spots next season, as well as a tech minimum for this season just in case.
Edit: My bad, he's already been given one. Good luck!

Yes, Alexey got CS Warsaw Cup in mid-November! 
Fingers crossed he can reproduce his performances from the Cup of Russia stages also in international competition. If he goes clean, that should get him into the current top 10 season's best results, even taking into account the bonus points he got at CoR and the home scoring. Hopefully he will be able to make a strong case for himself to get a GP assignment for next season. And yes, the technical minimums, just in case...

Lyosha's SP at the Warsaw Challenger: https://www.instagram.com/tv/CWbwXMuhbJI/?utm_medium=copy_link
The opening 4S-3T looked so effortless, I initially thought he'd opted for a triple-triple. Fingers crossed for the FS today!

Well, here is Alexey's FS from Warsaw:
It could have gone better, the jumps were all there in the warm-up but it didn't work out during the performance. Lyosha seemed a bit nervous which is understandable given that this is his first international competition in three years. Also, judge no. 5, -2 GOE for that clean 4S, really?
On the plus side, Alexey fought for his jumps till the end, improved on his spin levels and achieved tech minimums for Euros and Worlds in the SP and tech minimums for Euros in the FS.
The next important competition will be Russian Nationals for which he qualified as no. 1 in the Cup of Russia series ranking. Everything is still possible if he skates there like he did at Cup of Russia, so the main thing is to stay healthy and continue the good work!

I couldn't believe my eyes at that GOE right after the jump... It's really a pity it didn't go well, hopefully he won't get that nervous at RusNats..Also, judge no. 5, -2 GOE for that clean 4S, really?

It is already a great victory that after four years Alexey made it back to the National Championships, and whatever the outcome, he can be very proud of himself. That said, we saw at Cup of Russia what he is capable of, and he can still fight for the podium here! So good luck, smooth ice, and only happy faces in the K&C!

Wonderful SP performance from Alexey! 
It sounds like a platitude but he really jumps those quads like triples, the flow he has out of them is amazing.
He said in the interview with Max and Rita he is going for the three quads, one trixel program tomorrow, so his standard layout, I guess. He did it more or less cleanly two times already this season, he can do it again!
Looking forward to that gorgeous 4Lo most of all.

Alexey's statement after the FS:
"There was not enough concentration in the free skate. I stopped focussing after the elements were done. I relaxed knowing that the difficult elements were behind me. I didn't think about the Olympics at all, only about the skate. I want to continue to work and go to the important competitions. At least get started. My performance is definitely not a sensation for me. I know what I am capable of."
I am so glad that he continues to fight and is confident in his abilities. He has achieved so much already from the point when at this time last season he couldn't jump lutz or flip due to his recurring foot injury, to now having a beautiful, stable 4Lo and three backloaded combos in the FS. There will come a day again when he can put everything together in the important competitions as well. Until then, there is still a chance to shine at the Russian Cup Final, where the pressure will not be as high, and maybe even fight for a spot on the national/reserve team to get some funding.

After a good SP I was hoping Alesha can skate a clean free and clench off a medal. He was doing so well this season!
Hope he keeps his spirits high and comes back stronger next season.

At least it was better than at that Challenger, I hope that GP assignment is inevitable next season now, right?
