Rostelecom Cup Men's Short Program

The event begins at 9:45am EST.
The warmup group is on the ice.

Group 1
Sergei Voronov, RUS: 29.51 TES + 31.64 PCS = 61.15
  • Two footed and under rotated his quad toe attempt
  • Nice tight and fast rotation on his triple axel
  • Good triple loop
  • Nice camel spin position with good arm variations but he could use more speed
  • Fun music for his step sequence and a lot of movement--he looks a little off balanced at times and I'd like to see him really perform this and it could be a huge crowd pleaser
  • Good camel into a sit spin and a triangle variation
  • Flying entry to his final sit spin with a nice low, tucked position but a loss of speed through the twist variation
Brandon Mroz, USA: 36.55 TES + 33.80 PCS -1.00 = 69.35 and into 1st place
  • I like this easy style on Brandon Mroz but I'd like to see him really commit to the choreography instead of going through some of the motions
  • Fall on his quad lutz attempt
  • Step out on his triple axel
  • His transitions have really improved and his skating in between the elements is really improved and right on the music
  • Nice camel spin
  • Nice triple lutz + triple toe combination
  • Good low sit spin
  • Very nice one foot sequence and good flow through his footwork
  • Good triangle spin and twisted sit variation
Konstantin Menshov, RUS: 30.41 TES + 31.50 PCS -1.00 = 60.91 and into 3rd place
  • Really wild on his triple axel with a very open air position and he two foots the landing
  • Quad toe + double toe with not a lot of flow in between the jumps
  • Really hard fall on his triple lutz
  • Good camel spin position but he loses a lot of speed in the end
  • Good speed and flow through the step sequence but not a lot of difficulty in the upper body
  • Nice sit spin
  • Good speed through the final combo spin with nice stretched out positions
Andrei Rogozine, CAN: 33.32 TES + 31.79 PCS = 65.11 and into 2nd place
  • Opens with a nice triple flip + triple toe combination
  • Spread eagle into a triple axel with a step out
  • He could use a little more flexibility through the catchfoot position in his camel spin
  • A little tight on the landing of that triple lutz
  • Nice position in his twisted sit variation
  • Good one foot section in his step sequence and nice timing with the music; a lot of movement through the upper body but he needs deeper edges
  • Nice speed in the camel spin but loses a lot of it in the sit position and almost falls out of it
Group 2
Javier Fernandez, ESP: 40.11 TES + 38.39 PCS = 78.50 and into 1st place
  • Very nice opening quad toe
  • Popped his lutz into a double with a triple toe combo
  • Nice triple axel
  • Great upright spin
  • Nice sit spin in a low position but he could use a little more stretch through his free leg
  • Very nice one foot section that covers half the ice in his step sequence--this step sequence looks so easy and flows very nicely but is full of difficult content
  • Great camel spin position into a good triangle variation but a loss of speed through the change foot
  • Great ending pose hit right out of the scratch spin
Yuzuru Hanyu, JPN: 45.20 TES + 37.58 PCS = 82.78 and into 1st place
  • Sits too far back on the landing of the quad toe and has to step out and put his hands down
  • Nice recovery with his triple axel
  • Decent donut position 
  • Good triple lutz + triple toe
  • I like his freedom through this step sequence and how low he gets to the ice in some of these steps
  • Nice cross leg sit spin with no hands holding his leg
  • Good camel position into a nice low sit position with a stretched free leg and ending with a scratch spin
Jeremy Abbott, USA: 42.04 TES + 41.50 PCS = 83.54 and into 1st place
  • He looks so calm and relaxed out on the ice
  • Nice opening triple flip + triple toe with great height and fast rotation
  • Beautiful triple axel
  • He looks like he's having so much fun in these steps
  • Nice low sit spin with good positions and speed
  • Great timing with the music and he's really skating to the music and not through it
  • Great triple lutz to end the jumps
  • Nice twisted upright spin into a scratch spin
  • Very nice edgework and speed in his step sequence and the crowd is really behind him; I don't like the step in the middle where he puts his hand down because it almost looks like a fall and he could lose points for it
  • Nice final combination spin with good flexibility through the upright position
Artur Gachinski, RUS: 38.30 TES + 37.43 PCS -1.00 = 74.73 and into 4th place
  • Fall on his opening quad toe
  • Good triple axel
  • Triple loop--but with no combination he'll be docked for not completing hte required elements
  • He needs a lot more flexibility through that catchfoot position of his camel spin
  • Good speed in his sit spin
  • Nice one foot section in his footwork but he loses some of his flow out of the illusion spin
  • Nice Y spin but he leans too far away from his foot and will lose some GOE points on that
Michal Brezina, CZE: 40.62 TES + 38.39 PCS = 79.01 and into 3rd place
  • Big triple axel but a lot of lead time into the jump
  • Triple flip + triple toe
  • Triple lutz
  • He needs to really stretch through his free leg in the sit spin
  • Very nie camel position but his catchfoot position is not very attractive and needs a lot more flexibility
  • Nice speed, quality of movement, flow and edge work in this step sequence
  • Very slow final combination spin but good position variations

Rostelecom Cup Pairs Short Program

This event begins at 7:35am EST.
The warmup group is on the ice.
Group 1
Cain/Reagan, USA: 26.12 TES + 22.91 PCS = 49.03
  • She's looking very elegant in a black dress with a necklace accent and even has a french manicure on her nails
  • Their small height dance makes them really interesting to watch since they have to work harder to hit the same elements but still make it look easy
  • Interesting choice to start with their step sequence done in hold with a lot of steps reminiscent of a dance team
  • Good side by side triple salchows
  • Nice hip lift with great positions from her and a nice flip exit--her height gives her a great advantage in the lift to create long lines
  • Good double twist but the landing could be cleaner
  • She steps out of the landing on the throw triple--she had a hesitation before picking in for the jump
  • Really low to the ice on the death spiral and not a lot of speed, he really has to muscle her up
  • Nice position in the pairs spin from her with a nice change of direction
Jones/Gaskell, CAN: 26.14 TES + 21.62 PCS = 47.76 and into 2nd place
  • He looks like he borrowed his costume from Paul Poirier
  • A little crashy on the landing of the triple twist
  • She's off in the air on the double axel and the landing isn't pretty but she hangs on to it
  • Nice one arm hold in the hip position with a switch to the other leg but she doesn't have much stretch through her air positions
  • Nice throw triple loop
  • Good arch in the death spiral
  • This step sequence seems to be a little on the labored side and they're skating very far apart
  • Not great positions in their pair spin with lots of bent legs and hiked hips
Gerboldt/Enbert, RUS: 24.14 TES + 24.26 PCS -1.00 = 47.30 and into 3rd place
  • Great speed from them in their opening moves
  • Really off on their side by side triples and she nearly goes into the boards
  • She came down really hard on triple twist
  • She fell on the throw triple
  • They need to be a little closer in the step sequence and have more speed
  • Nice positions in the lift with good stretch through her legs but she could still get more stretch
  • Very nice death spiral but no speed at the end
  • Good positions in the pair spin but no speed
Group 2
Stolbova/Klimov, RUS: 25.75 TES + 25.98 PCS = 51.73 and into 1st place
  • This is a lot of look from her with the silver lame sports bra, blue mesh dress and black tights
  • Double twist with the arms overhead and a clean catch
  • She ekes out the landing of the throw triple and manages to keep her free leg up
  • Good unison on the side by side triples
  • A loss of unison in some spots on the step sequence and although they're doing the same steps they don't always seem to match
  • Good haircutter position in the hip hold lift with a one arm hold
  • She's really twisted in this death spiral and almost laying on the ice
  • I don't like that she thinks opening her mouth wide for the majority of the program counts as performance quality
  • Decent speed through their pair spin
Berton/Hotarek, ITA: 32.67 TES + 27.46 PCS = 60.13 and into 1st place
  • Very solid opening side by side triple toes
  • A little bit of a crash landing on the double twist
  • Nice hip lift with a stomach hold variation
  • Solid throw triple loop
  • Good speed and positions in the pair spin with seamless changes of direction
  • Good distance between them on the step sequence with a nice section in hold
  • Good death spiral with a change of hold
  • Little bit of a wardrobe malfunction with her top coming down and showing her cup underneath
Kavaguti/Smirnov, RUS: 33.63 TES + 31.54 PCS = 65.17 and into 1st place
  • I really like her pale pink and ivory dress
  • This program really suits him 
  • Solid side by side triples
  • Nice high triple twist but she crashes into him on the landing and they have to really fight to stay on their feet
  • Nice clean throw triple
  • Good unison, matching lines and distance between them on the step sequence but I'd like her to be more precise with her movements as sometimes she looks like she's flopping around
  • Really nice one arm lift into the stomach hold with her foot pulled up by her head
  • She's a little crooked, her head is on the ice and she holds her arm awkwardly waiting to be pulled up during the death spiral
  • Decent speed and positions through the pairs spin
Savchenko/Szolkowy, GER: 36.06 TES + 32.66 PCS = 68.72 and into 1st place
  • She squeaks out the landing on the throw triple flip and gets the free leg out
  • Really nice triple twist with a clean catch
  • Good unison on their side by side triple toes
  • Nice position in the lift but her legs could be squeezed tighter together in the stomach hold position
  • Nice speed in the pairs spin with good matching positions
  • Nice death spiral with a change of hold but a loss of speed at the end
  • Good distance between them on the step sequence but they don't get a lot of ice coverage through the middle section
