2026 Olys Mens SP PBP - A Minion Ways to Dies (Irae)

[slicekw]

So what war is this costume emulating? French Revolution?

 

[ilovesalchows]

Was Gumennik the best Russian man or merely the best they knew they could clear?

It just reminds me of Ilia's vampire costume.

 

[Private Citizen]

Quads both much tighter than in warmup. I’d review both. Not much to this program, not surprisingly given the circumstances. Can’t see this in the final group and may struggle for top 10 if he has URs

 

[AngieNikodinovLove (ANL)]

Wow, his jumps come to a standstill.

 

[Braulio]

Borring program and if Grassl´s jumps are bad, Gummenik are the next level!

 

[Allen]

Pretty good start to the day, wonky jumps and all.

4F+2T - lacking flow on the landing
4Lz
Flying Camel Spin 4
3A

A bit tight to start the program leading to a quadruple-double combination, and reviews of both of quadruple jumps.

Q 86.72 = 1st Place

 

[MacMadame]

Seriously I ate the entire package in one sitting, I have so much guilt, especially after the Gay Cruise where we ate 400 times a day. I’m going to the gym after the first two.

The calories won't come off faster if you don't wait for an ice cut!

 

[Allen]

I hate poverty costumes

Are roses for the poor now?

 

[Private Citizen]

Max doing double Sal while waiting to go on. Now 2A

 

[miffy]

Well seeing as he changed his music 2 days ago I think that was pretty damn good.

 

[my little pony]

ewww what is the mime smelling

 

[kirkbiggestfan]

I’m eating strawberry shortcake to honor the return of AIN skaters.

 

[Spikefan]

I didn’t miss Russian chanting (not that I’m fond of USA chants either).

 

[floridaice]

Too bad about his music, he was so much better at qualifications

[slicekw]

Max looking scared sh**less.

 

[Citlali]

Is this the supposed talent we were missing with the ban?

 

[floridaice]

so nervous for Max

 

[AngieNikodinovLove (ANL)]

You just know his parents are watching him.

 

[Karen-W]

The other option was Dikidzhi (sp?) but Gumennik beat him at their last competition that decided who would be submitted as the AIN by the Russian fed.

Wow, his jumps come to a standstill.

Yeah, not a lot of flow out of them. Sounds like he tightened up from the warm-up, which makes sense.

 

[Andrey aka Pushkin]

Naumov looks like Chan after Gumennik

 

[JoannaLouise]

Wow, that 3a was wobbling so much in the air, I am amazed he landed it!

 

[beckab81]

No pops for Max, good job!

 

[tangerine dream]

Max through the jumps

 

[MacMadame]

Well seeing as he changed his music 2 days ago I think that was pretty damn good.

I suspect he just skated the original program to new music.

 

[Karen-W]

Oh, this is so great for Max to skate clean today! No doubt he'll be skating again on Friday!
