Shaidorov is a lot more enjoyable than I expected him to be. Not just a jumper.

 

[Jay42]

I have a real soft spot for Shaidorov. I wasn't sold on him I think last season but he's grown on me a lot this year.

 

[rfisher]

Urmanov has really done a fine job with Shadarov. Glad he and Mrs. Ten came together to put a lot of work into the KAZ program.

 

[Rukia]

Future world champion at some point I'd bet

I’ve been so pleasantly surprised by him with this lately!

Shaidorov is quickly becoming one of my very favorite skaters in the world right now. His jumps are amazing but it's more than that. He's got it all .... and I think he's just going to get better and better. Well done.

 

[Karen-W]

Judging by Sato's practices, he's another one I have very low expectations from...

Oh I knew it was from The Great Dictator speech. I went through a pretty significant Paulette Goddard phase a few years ago and you can't watch Paulette Goddard movies without getting into her work and relationship with Chaplin. I just hadn't listened to Paolo Nutini's song outside of Lukas's program so I just assumed they had put it into the program for the message.

No, it's been used fairly often by skaters and the voiceover is always there. I just can't think of the others at the moment

Enjoy the videos and music you love, upload original content, and share it all with friends, family, and the world on YouTube.

I remember Kovtun used it a few years back.

Oh dear. But ..... I'm still in my happy place ..... and I want to stay there.

 

[ChelleC]

I am staying at school longer just to watch the SPs

I'm at the doctor's office have been in a room for 45 minutes now. Looking at FSU to see how people are skating, following wedgie data, and Watchung videos on Twitter.

People on the short end of the ice were screaming to try to get his attention before he started that some piece of something was on the ice but he started anyways and no referee intervening.

 

[genevieve]

Sato with some pukeface going on

 

[Karen-W]

It's a minor miracle that Sato landed that 4z after struggling with it in practices...

 

[Vagabond]

Shaidorov is a lot more enjoyable than I expected him to be. Not just a jumper.

He is such a talented jumper that Urmanov and Righini have had ample time to work with hom on other aspects of his skating, and that work is paying off.

 

[4rkidz]

Lutz and individual toe were as glorious as could be. The steps into the toe loop were also great.

Still lacking massively in PCS but he’s exciting even without it.

just think of how much growth in the future as he is able (hopefully) improve his pcs

 

[Amy L]

Urmanov has really done a fine job with Shadarov. Glad he and Mrs. Ten came together to put a lot of work into the KAZ program.

After 4CC he said something to the effect of wanting to be a skater Denis Ten would be proud of

 

[skipaway]

Giggling at Sato’s message to the fans “I want to enjoy my skating “
Ok, by all means, have at it

 

[ChelleC]

Future world champion at some point I'd bet

Not a betting person at all but I'd bet on that.

 

[Lanie]

Pretty and well skated but zzzzz

[TAHbKA]

Think Sato just let Aymoz into the last group?

 

[peibeck]

Loved Sato, such gorgeous knee action.

That was serviceable. Damn you Kao. Damn you.

I have a real soft spot for Shaidorov. I wasn't sold on him I think last season but he's grown on me a lot this year.

His Kung-Fu Panda gala program made me a bit of a fan. He still needs to work on his PCS but he’s definitely a charmer.

 

[beckab81]

Think Sato just let Aymoz into the last group?

Britschgi already did

 

[Karen-W]

Not his best SP effort so far this season, but that's going to give the JSF some breathing room for their 3 spots.
