Pretty strong skate for Grassl.

94.00

 

[rfisher]

Scoff as you will about my boy, but he's all green today. Flailing is it's own grace.

 

[Karen-W]

what’s our bet that the tech panel calls his under rotation?

Well, seeing as Shin Amano isn't on this panel, I'd say low.

ETA - yeah, he only got a q on the 4Lo.

 

[MacMadame]

That's a lot of couches.

 

[MINAM]

Grassl looks very pleased in the K&C.

 

[her grace]

About as well as Grassl can skate

 

[tony]

Grassl's coach is a super nice guy. Talked to him quite extensively at Skate America. He used to train with Carlo Fassi right before he passed away.

 

[Sally1214]

Good skate for Daniel. Love his spin positions and liked his interpretation. SB score. Well done.

 

[Karen-W]

Well, that fall on the 4z was rather weird and unexpected.

 

[Andrey aka Pushkin]

Somehow Shaidorov manages to be a SAW despite being of the wrong ethnicity.

A disaster.

Olivia Smart he ain't.

 

[Karen-W]

Oh no! Step out on the 4t, no combo. DISASTER skate for Shaidorov.

 

[tony]

Lutz issue, Axel really skidded into the takeoff. Beautiful steps into the 4T but with the stepout, zero combo and now automatic -5 for it.

Better that he went back to this program anyways, though.

 

[rfisher]

Well, I'm 50:50 with my support today. Alas. The good thing about being the only high level skater from your country is you get a chance at redemption at 4CC and will go to the Olympics. So there's that.

 

[Wyliefan]

Oh dear.

 

[MINAM]

2 Mikhail SHAIDOROV KAZ

Oh, Dune. Yeah, costume speaks volumes.

4lutz down. Completely stopped.
3ax no flow
Flying camel
4tl step out
Step sequence
The fall on the 4lutz seems to have drained the energy.
Spins again.
Change foot sit spin.

Meh.

Looks doomed in the K&C. Hope the fall didn't hurt him.

 

[Lana K]

(((((Misha))))))

 

[her grace]

Shaidorov

Fall on 4z, stepout of 4t so no combo, without the jumps, there’s not a lot here to commend—labored basics and slow spins

 

[TAHbKA]

Ouch...

 

[MacMadame]

He needs to work on his spins because when the jumps fail, there isn't much else here.

 

[skatingguy]

Mikhail Shaidorov
Coach: Alexei Urmanov, Ivan Righini
Music: Dune (soundtrack) by Hans Zimmer

4Lz - fall
3A
Flying Camel Spin 3
4T+COMBO - step out
Step Sequence 2
Change Foot Combo Spin 4
Change Foot Sit Spin 4

Changing the short program has not changed the technical consistency.

-1.00 = Falls
71.30 = 2nd Place

 

[TAHbKA]

Well, there is a hope there must be one horrible went competition a season and for Shaidorov it will be this one.

 

[Andrey aka Pushkin]

I like Shaidorov, but really, I have no idea how to make him more exciting to watch....

 

[Sally1214]

Aww...was hoping for a better skate from Shaidorov. Urmanov supportive in the K/C.

 

[TAHbKA]

Urmanov is saying hello to the viewers from the K&C

 

[tony]

Urmanov becoming such a grandfather so quickly was something I never expected. He was gyrating his hips through almost every program he ever did.

 

[Lilia A]

71 ouch

 

[Andrey aka Pushkin]

Ok, what kinds of shenanigans Adam has for us today?

 

[rfisher]

Urmanov can be supportive as he's been there with THOSE skates. Not that it helps Shaidarov right now.

 

[Karen-W]

Urmanov becoming such a grandfather so quickly was something I never expected. He was gyrating his hips through almost every program he ever did.

He has fully embraced the suburban dad look. He could be in one of those insurance commercials.

 

[TAHbKA]

New costume for Adam? Even more sex bomb?
