There is something very chaotic about the sport right now, which is difficult to watch when skating was an escape for me. Some skaters are doing so well while others are not. Some are too good to retire, but feeling it is their time. Others are rising and falling.
I bet Mishin never thought he would have two Russian females in the GPF at the same time with a 5 year age gap between them ... So much for only being good for building railroads in Siberia ...
Yuzuru takes the ice, the camera pans to the, almost Russian in stateliness, Oligarch of figure skating, Brian Orser, then his prize pupil puts on a raw powerful dominant performance with ease to an iconic piece from Russian skating.
Chill multiple times over from Hanyu's Otonal. I never thought I would feel that from skating again as unknowing admiration evolved to examining protocols and watching slow motion video to check rotations.
Being reminded by @IceAlisa which Russian Ladies are the good dancers and the bad dancers. You'd be surprised who never finishes movements and hutches over like a babushka on a cold day in Siberia.
Evegnia picked the 3F with a twisted right foot rather than straight. If was fluke error Brian diagnosed in the K&C. It is the type of error Uncle Dick talked about in the 90s.
