2026 Olys Mens FS PBP - Habemus Pop-am

[Theatregirl1122]

Welp. I guess we know who will be waiting in the wings to see if one of the top 3 falter.

 

[delayedaxel]

Maybe it was a bad idea to allow singing during routines at all?

 

[umronnie]

Okay,I like Shaidorov's hair. So there.

How many drink did you have already?
Also this music is awful

 

[canbelto]

I cannot imagine listening to this music all day.

 

[miffy]

Okay,I like Shaidorov's hair. So there.

Me too!

I like him as well. I'd be happy to see him medal (although that's not an official wish to the skate gods).

 

[Karen-W]

Oh, Johnny, this program is trash even skated clean. Don't try to make a silk purse out of this sow's ear of a program!

 

[rfisher]

closed captions just flashed pigeons across the screen and I'm thinking of the Bercy pigeon and if one flew past Shaidarov, I think I'd die

 

[SlavicaK]

Shaidorov looking better than he has the last three times I've seen him - ululating music notwithstanding.

 

[ilovesalchows]

That part in the step sequence where it looks like he's gathering rope

[my little pony]

this could be campy as hell but I dont think Mikhail knows what that is

 

[NinjaTurtles]

He’s slowed down a lot

 

[Colonel Green]

This music choice is so annoying that I can see Plushenko having skated to it in the past.

 

[AngieNikodinovLove (ANL)]

Thank goodness for him and his freaky Deaky program.

 

[PRlady]

First time I’ve ever put my fingers in my ears in an arena. And I’ve been to metal concerts.

I guess it scores high but leaves me completely cold.

 

[marbri]

I enjoyed the music

 

[MacMadame]

I must have repressed the memory of this music, what the actual f*ck.

I liked the movie came from so I picture the alien singing it and that works better than just hearing it raw.

 

[peibeck]

I WARNED YOU!!!

 

[tangerine dream]

Maybe it was a bad idea to allow singing during routines at all?

Would this even have counted as singing? There weren't really any words.

 

[Matryeshka]

The muggle is absolutely fascinated with Shaidorov, but in a macabre sort of way. She screamed wthen Fifth Element came on and said "his hair IS the Fifth Element."

 

[slicekw]

As much as the second half music reminds me of The Fifth Element, I think I prefer Cha’s music to Shaidarov’s.
Shaidarov has the best hair so far, tho.

I can’t even unpack what he did tonight. That skate was a roller coaster.

 

[AngieNikodinovLove (ANL)]

Who are all these people wearing yellow with helmets?

 

[Elisheba]

I really wish judges would deduct GOE for shitty cartwheels.

 

[Former Lurve Goddess]

I can't believe my cat slept through that!

 

[rfisher]

This music choice is so annoying that I can see Plushenko having skated to it in the past.

Well Urmanov is his coach so there is a legacy.

 

[Theatregirl1122]

Update: I think the costume I hated of Shadirov's was his SP, but I think he lost that one too.

 

[MsZem]

If this medals I'll take it as the Skating Gods' tribute to Denis Ten.

 

[Kruss]

Beautiful skate. Bravo.

And I loved hearing The Diva's Dance at the end. SorryNotSorry, I've loved that ever since it showed up in an SOI show.

 

[Citlali]

Mikhail

 

[skatfan]

Wow, tech was amazing but it was Urmanov 2 in terms of the program
