[Frau Muller]

Kostornaia said she is super surprised with the scores she got ...

And so are we. Trusova deserves to be way ahead of Kostornaia, who bombed the Biellman position attempt, for starters...

 

[rfisher]

I picture Rukavitsin yelling Makar! Constantly.

The boy has enough and for 10

 

[Jeschke]

who bombed the Biellman position attempt, for starters...

And Trus' CCoSp was flawless?

 

[Jeschke]

Slay Andrey
So handsome.
Love the costume.

 

[Jeschke]

Oh boy

 

[rfisher]

My young star is off today.

But, I predict Aliev and Kolyada need to be looking over their shoulders at him.

 

[Colonel Green]

Falling on a quad flip to open -- Mozalev is filling the void that Samarin left.

 

[Jeschke]

My young star is off today.

With me and you rooting so hard, did he ever stand a chance?

 

[Jeschke]

Still, I love his focused jump entries (with the arms) and his constant nice smile during the skate.
The skating itself

 

[rfisher]

With me and you rooting so hard, did he ever stand a chance?

We may as well give him a first class ticket to #TTW

 

[Jeschke]

Slay Ilya! Make this shirt fly!

 

[Colonel Green]

Keeping up his track record of underperforming domestically while being super-consistent internationally; good news for Rostelecom!

 

[Jeschke]

Whee, my first fav delivering today!

[Jeschke]

I feared for Yablokov missing nationals (and junior nationals along then) with this line-up here.
Well done buddy!

 

[Jeschke]

I love how Volchkova not even bothers to smile a bit
86pts. Lead. As she would have expected nothing less.

 

[Colonel Green]

Coach shaking her head at the combination.

 

[Jeschke]

Coach

The reduction

Edit: He went for 2x quad before, so i guess 3-3 should give a shot for a nationals ticket, did not work out.

 

[Jeschke]

Slay StaminaKing!

 

[Colonel Green]

C'mon, boy, work those lungs!

 

[Jeschke]

4lo clean as a whistle

 

[Jeschke]

The eyeroll

 

[beckab81]

As soon as he hit the first 2 jumps there was zero chance for the axel...

ETA - how slow can he spin???

 

[rfisher]

The look on Rukavitsin's face on that 3A

 

[Colonel Green]

"I can't go on", truer words for him to interpret than anything since "je suis fatigue".

 

[Jeschke]

Memo to Makar: spin lessons with Nugu please.

 

[Jeschke]

2nd memo: wash your shirt sometimes between competitions

 

[rfisher]

I'm dying. You know he's yelling MAKAR under the mask.

 

[Jeschke]

Same PCS as Yablokov!
Ouch.

 

[Jeschke]

Slay Semenenko!
