Andrew Torgashev Cheer Thread

[ice coverage]

Interview with Andrew's father Artem (also Andrew's former coach) in Milan, with Olympic SP coming up today.
(Nice to see that Artem seems more animated/excited and less stoic than what I recall from earlier years.)

LMAO I love this guy! "Yay I qualified for the free skate!"

So excited for Andrew. Still think the score should have been higher. Hope he can do it again on Friday

Wow, what a good skating short program for him today! Congrats!

Andrew definitely has to be happy with that, especially after the season he's had and his short at Nationals.

So excited for Andrew. Still think the score should have been higher. Hope he can do it again on Friday

In real time, it looked like he had a q on the combo, but it wasn't reviewed and he got very good GOE for it.

But, I think he (and several others, especially Cha) paid a price in the PCS for skating earlier in comparison to skaters like Grassl and Shaidorov. But, I generally think that Grassl and Shaidorov get overly high PCS scores. Fortunately, Andrew will be in the penultimate group in the long.
