In order of appearance. Line divide groups.


1. Alexander ABT

Alexander was unlucky as usual. He was to skate very first. He did quite well, landed huge 3A/3T, but his quad wasn't clear, he stepped out. Huge 2A. His skating was very good, and impressive, but the marks were way lower than I expected.

5.1 5.3 5.1 5.3 5.1 5.4 5.2 5.3 5.2
5.6 5.6 5.6 5.6 5.6 5.7 5.6 5.6 5.6

2. Alexander SHUBIN

I remeber Alexander from the last Nationals he made nice impression on me last season. However his program this season was not very difficult - he did 3Z, 3F/3T (double footed)and 2A.

4.3 4.2 4.3 4.6 4.5 4.4 4.4 4.3 4.1
4.9 4.9 4.9 5.2 5.2 4.9 4.9 4.9 4.8

3. Alexey YAGUDIN

Alexey wasn't very secure at the warm-up, neither he was during the program, he did the same misatke as Alexander ABT on his quad, made 3A/2T and 2A. But from his marks I guess he made 3T, otherwise I don't know why all judges put him ahead. In betweens and all that could probably keep him higher with the same level of mistakes - but with 3/2 combo?

5.3 5.4 5.3 5.4 5.6 5.4 5.3 5.4 5.4
5.8 5.8 5.8 5.8 5.8 5.8 5.9 5.7 5.7

4. Denis LEUSHIN

Denis is really tiny, he is probably 11 or 12. His music was something jazzy. He did 3Z but crashed into the board, fall on 3T, strangely enough his positions in backwark camel is way better than in forward one. 1A.

3.1 3.3 3.4 3.6 3.2 3.4 3.1 3.2 3.2
4.5 4.6 4.6 4.7 4.5 4.8 4.4 4.4 4.6

5. Roman SEROV

Roman skated to La Donna e mobile, in grey outfit. He did 3A/2T, and very low 3Z, and 2A. I cannot understand what keep him ahead of Abt, after all, he even did not attempt quad.

5.3 5.4 5.3 5.5 5.2 5.5 5.5 5.6 5.2
5.5 5.5 5.5 5.6 5.7 5.6 5.6 5.7 5.5

6. Alexey VASILEVSKY

Alexey was dressed in brown leather pants and white-to-green, not T-short, but... well, something close to it. His music is Teodorakis' Sirtaki (aka Zobra the Greek), He did 3A/2T, 2Z, fall at the step sequence, 2A. It's the second time I've seen him doing folk program (at last Nationals he did Russian folk), music obviously helped him a lot, but unfortunately he wasn't able to keep up with the music.

4.5 4.9 4.3 5.0 4.6 4.8 4.5 4.8 4.7
5.3 5.4 5.4 5.4 5.4 5.6 5.2 5.4 5.3

7. Stanislav TIMCHENKO

Dressed in blue outfit, skated to Vivaldi. Unfortunately he wasn't clean. He did 1A, 3Z, 2A. Nothing special in his program.

4.0 4.0 4.0 4.1 3.8 3.9 3.7 3.8 4.0
4.9 4.8 5.1 5.0 4.8 4.8 4.7 4.7 4.7

14. Alexey FEDOSEEV

Classical music, his moves remind me of Urmanov, well, at least he tried to skated in the similar style, but wasn't unfortunately really succesful - he did 3A/2T, 3S and 2A. It was enough to make with fifth after SP.

5.2 5.1 5.2 5.3 5.3 5.1 5.2 5.0 5.1
5.3 5.2 5.4 5.4 5.3 5.4 5.4 5.1 5.2

4.5 5.0 4.7 4.7 5.1 4.7 4.6 4.8 4.8

16. Evgeny PLUSHENKO

Wow! Evgeny was certainly "on" that evening. He just nailed all the elements, but step out during footwork. But even with this minor mistake he was clearly winner, this day. Public really loved his Sabre Dance program, and enjoid it a lot, he nearly get standing ovation. His marks were very high, but I would say well deserved.

5.9 5.9 5.9 5.9 5.9 5.9 5.9 5.9 5.9
