Mikhail Shaidorov is my new Small Fed favourite. Really feel the influence of Alexei Urmanov in the line and approach to the choreo. That and I'm a sucker for a puffy sleeve.

Anon here who is trying to cope with MAPPA being assholes by planning out a teenage years YoI fic (dunno if I'll ever write it, but hey, it's the first thing to break my years-long writer's block, at least). Anyway, I was wondering: if Yagudin and Plushenko didn't exist, how do you think the Russian men's figure skating would have looked in 05/06? Basically, Plushenko can't be around for obvious reasons, and since Yagudin is a bastard I might exclude him as well, so what would that look like?
YEAH. In a world without homophobia Yagudin simply would never have existed.
Victor would probably have looked up to skaters like Ilia Kulik and Alexei Urmanov growing up. He may have looked up to Viktor Petrenko too. He would have been stepping onto the scene right after Alexander Abt was the top Russian skater. Alexander was mega-talented, but super inconsistent and could never break through to the very top.
Victor's domestic competition at the time would have been Ilia Klimkin, who I don't think he'd have had much trouble surpassing. Russian men would definitely have been in kind of a dearth from 1999-2006 without Yags and Plush there, so it stands to reason that in YOIverse, Rusfed would probably have seen someone as promising as Victor as like, the second coming lol.
During the Soviet Era, Russia's medals mostly came from pairs and ice dance, without the kind of dominant men we saw from them in the 90s and 2000s, so if he were looking back before his time, there's a decent chance he'd be admiring American, Canadian, and British skaters. I feel like Stephane would have been the it boy at the time Victor started competing, and I have to think teen Victor may have had a bit of a crush.
If Yags and Plush weren't there, the quad race may have been sped up by Timothy Goebel winning Olympic gold in 2002 with his quad salchow, quad toe, and three quad fs. No one else had close to that level of difficulty, but since even with that tech, Tim was still placing below Plush and Yags, it stands to reason that perhaps the rest of the field wasn't rushing to catch up. This would track with YOI, where the quad race does seem to be a bit ahead of where it was in real life in fall of 2016.
In my mind there was a very dominant man (or multiple men) in YOIverse from the mid-2000s to 2012ish, and he was from Asia, Australia, Africa, or the Americas (fun thought: maybe this was when Japan really broke out in men's singles in YOIverse). The reason I say this is because despite Victor being a senior in 2006, he did not win his first world title or GPF title until he began his streak in 2012. However, we know he was winning European titles, so there must have been at least one (or more) huge skaters that he just couldn't break through at worldwide ISU championship level. Being said, he was obviously already a huge star by then, so apparently the lack of those did not halt his popularity!

entrevista
Com tantos Centros de Treinamento Olímpico espalhados pelo mundo, por que o Hamdeok Complex?
eu costumava treinar em alguns ginásios de jeju quando era menor e, quando precisei me afastar de seoul, meu antigo treinador foi uma das primeiras pessoas a quem procurei. ele me incentivou a retomar os treinos, mas não como um mero 'hobby' como eu tinha que dizer que era. nós costumávamos trocar bastante de ginásio para evitar sasaengs, e um desses ginásios onde treinamos foi o do hamdeok. lembro que fiquei maravilhado com o tamanho! ele, então, me apresentou à treinadora, dizendo que eles eram velhos amigos ou algo assim... conversa vai, convites vêm, acabei decidindo ficar por aqui mesmo.
E como você entrou? Alguém te indicou e você passou pelos testes, você se inscreveu voluntariamente para fazer os testes ou houve alguma contribuição monetária envolvida?
como citei anteriormente, meu antigo treinador é um velho conhecido da treinadora xiao e, durante algumas conversas nossas, ela me falou sobre os testes. tive certo receio, já que até então meu treinador apenas me auxiliava, mas nem eu mesmo me considerava um atleta digno de treinar profissionalmente num complexo tão grande e respeitado como o hamdeok. depois de muita conversa, tanto com o meu treinador, quanto com meus pais e até a treinadora xiao, eu decidi largar tudo e me inscrever.
Você certamente se destaca no esporte que pratica. O que motivou a sua escolha por ele?
meu pai é um grande fã de patinação artística! lembro de ouvir nomes como alexei urmanov e elvis stojko muitas vezes quando era criança. foi apenas natural que ele colocasse seu filho para praticar o esporte que ele tanto admirava, e eu sentia um prazer imenso em reproduzir no gelo, para o meu pai, o que ele mesmo me mostrava somente pela tv. acho que foi esse o meu maior incentivo; ver os olhos dele brilhando enquanto ele pensava 'uau, meu próprio filho pode fazer isso!'. eu me sentia muito especial.
Pode nos contar, brevemente, sobre sua trajetória no esporte até o momento?
é, de fato, bem breve." [risos] "eu comecei a patinar quando tinha oito anos de idade, totalmente por influência e incentivo do meu pai. aos nove, participei da minha primeira competição regional e fiquei em terceiro lugar, e, a partir daí, toda competição que eu participava eu conseguia garantir uma posição no pódio. isso até meus 13 anos, quando tive que parar de competir para focar em outra carreira. dediquei cinco anos da minha vida a algo que meu pai gostava, então tive que fazer o mesmo pela minha mãe. o que posso fazer, não é? infelizmente, durante aproximadamente oito anos, eu só pude patinar em meu horário livre. no entanto, aos 21 anos, vi a chance surgir e abandonei o que eu fazia para voltar a me dedicar em 100% à patinação artística, e logo no ano seguinte tive a coragem de voltar a competir. não importava qual o prêmio, qual a minha colocação, eu só queria voltar a competir. e então, tive a oportunidade de competir nos jogos nacionais de inverno, onde fiquei em quinto lugar. no mesmo ano, pude participar dos jogos asiáticos e consegui o terceiro lugar no pódio por pouquíssimo.
Quais são suas maiores qualidades e maiores defeitos? Como elas influenciam seu dia a dia como atleta?
acho que... seria clichê dizer que perfeccionismo é uma das minhas maiores qualidades ao mesmo tempo que é um dos meus maiores defeitos? talvez eu seja muito influenciável; sinto que você poderia me convencer de que o céu é verde e unicórnios existem, e você nem vai precisar se esforçar muito pra me fazer acreditar nisso. isso pode dizer que eu confio fácil demais, também. isso são defeitos, não? então, para as qualidades, acho que um bom ponto seria determinação e - espero não soar metido com isso - altruísmo. tudo isso afeta meu dia a dia de diversas maneiras, claro, mas sinto que há um equilíbrio entre um e outro. por exemplo, eu larguei o que eu mais amava no mundo por influência de outra pessoa, porém, foi por influência de outra pessoa que eu também passei a amar a patinação. entende o que eu quero dizer? acho que me embolei um pouco... [risos]
Sabemos que é uma grande honra ser convocado para representar seu país nos jogos olímpicos, mas existe alguma outra razão pela qual você deseje isso?
eu quero ser reconhecido por aquilo que eu amo. sinto que as pessoas já sabem quem é 'na haerim, o idol' e 'na haerim, o ator'. quero que elas conheçam, respeitem e admirem o 'na haerim, o patinador', porque era esse 'na haerim' que eu queria mostrar desde o início.

Urmanov (Yulia’s coach) said that Yulia is fine and that they are currently waiting for the Russian test skates in September and after that they will make a decision 😉
This means that maybe she still can be in the GP since there is a TBC RUS slot for Rostelecom.

Knowing more about Sergei Grinkov♡
The phrase "was quite complex in nature" catches my attention. During these days I have been reading the written press during the 80s about Sergei. (Gordeevaru.com)
Katia tells in her book that Sergei had no problem making friends, that he was a person with a good sense of humor and a person with a very good heart.
Katia also says that Sergei loved to read and could spend hours reading. He recommended books like Margarita and the teacher... ( those that were available in the soviet union) which are books where the protagonists undertake an emotional journey. When the protagonists begin they are innocent people and without any idea of life, to end up transforming into totally new people due to the difficulties.
She also mentions that he loved contemporary music and felt rejection by figures like Stalin, he felt that the change was not taking place well. Which shows me that he was a person ahead of his time. In one of the interviews they ask him his opinion on the situation and he gives his point of view, expressed incredibly well, to which the journalist replies that he is an idealist.
This would clarify what alexey urmanov thinks of him. Or what the coaches said about him, that despite being a person with a big heart, he was a very clueless person and that he could not take seriously the terrifying Soviet teachers who scolded him at school more than once.
He preferred to laugh and smile rather than publicly disparage the love that others felt for a monotonous life, being a slave to an ancient system of ruined states that was in its last days.
He was a dreamer, a globetrotter, and a person who had high hopes for the future of his country.
You were not weird, you were not complex in nature, you were not an idealist, ANGEL YOU WERE AHEAD OF YOUR TIME...🦋
Rest in peace, Dear Seriozha Grinkov🦭💖
