Evgeni has won Trophee Lalique with a very good free skate. Today, his knee doesn't seem to
bother him at all. He seemed happy to be there. I don't know why, but this time again, he wore
his Adagio costume. First jump combination: 4 Toeloop-3 Toeloop-2 Loop very easy.
3 Toeloop, 3 Axel-2 Toeloop, 3 Axel, 3 Flip, donut spin.
And then he did the circular footwork, but at the end of the step sequence, it seems to me that
he sends a kiss to the audience. So cute . Then triple Lutz, double Loop ( instead of a triple Loop,
the only mistake
in this program), Biellmann spin, Biellmann spiral, good footwork, 3 Salchow
, sit spin, final spin combination.
At the end of the program, Evgeni was very happy. The audience gave him big applause, a part of
the audience even stood up. French love him. Evgeni was very smiling. Mishin gave him the usual
kiss. In the kiss and cry, there was a woman with Evgeni and Mishin. I don't know who she is. Evgeni
kissed her too. It was a very good free program for Evgeni. He landed all his jumps easily, he had a
good speed, good chorography. After this program, I think that his fall in short program was "only"
a mistake and didn't happen because of his injury. But it's only my opinion. In any case, today, he
was in a good shape.
The exhibition was great.
Evgeni did his Adagio program. And of course, he wore the Adagio costume. He smiled a lot. He
had fans in the audience. When he came on the ice, they shouted his name. It made him smile.
The program begin. He did a combination of 3 jumps: 3 Toeloop-3 Toeloop-2 Loop.
Then 2 Axel, circular footwork, 3 Toeloop, sit spin,
straightline footwork, final spin. One time again, the audience gave him big applauses.
He seemed happy
of this.
He is the only skater who came back for an encore. His fans shouted his name again, and Evgeni sent a
kiss to the audience.
Then, he was in the start position and the St Petersburg 300 music began. But it wasn't the right part.
So he went to Gwendal Peizerat who was the speaker of the exhibition to tell him that it wasn't the right
part of the music. Then, TV showed us that Mishin was explaining the situation to a man.
Evgeni was talking to Gwendal, and finally Gwendal just told him to do his encore without music.
And so Evgeni did it. But he didn't skate a part of the St. Petersburg program. Instead, he did a
3 Toeloop-3 Toeloop-2 Loop-2 Loop combination. He received again big applause from the audience.
I was very happy because our french commentators, Nelson Monfort and Annick Gaillhaguet said
two or three times that Evgeni is right now the best skater in the world. And the both said that
Evgeni is one of their favorite skaters.
