We're not getting any hints about the programs or quad flex videos so I decided to dress Misha like a paper doll instead. This is an idea for the free skate (since we don't know what the short is 🙄). 2 and 3 look similar in color but they're like blue black and green black. Sorry that skates and portraits aren't real.
Here's one of my favorite pairs programs of all time. Featuring:
I hope I managed to sell it XD
They say that the program is very beautiful. The pictures look great. It's so Misha.
Sorry if some of these are redundant.
Can someone with an Instagram account check, maybe? And collect questions here?
I was hoping that the sub mods can reach out to him for an AMA on Reddit but since we're like five people, maybe this is a good option as well (if it's really happening)
(I know I said step sequence but I had to include the Lutz entry because it's so beautiful)
This is one of my all time favorite short programs and especially the step sequence is just amazing. It is technically difficult, but also it was so well-considered and timed to the spoken word. I think it is a great example of the use of voiceovers in a program not being something in the background that you kind of skate to, but being connected to the movement, rhythm and whatever it is that you came to say on the ice as a skater.
Also, men catch constant flak for skating skills and spins, so I would like to draw attention to this guy getting consistent level 4s on his spins and step sequences.
To me, Lukas is one of the skaters with a very strong artistic vision and presentation. This could have been gimmicky but it was presented with so much thought and sensitivity, that I think it is a beautiful and touching program. I am a bit sad that he didn't seem to get it 100% clean with the jumps, but whatever. I still love it.
Spouse and I are going together. Super excited.
Send me plushie suggestions in the comments (not only for Misha).
(If you are going, the good tickets are selling fast so I suggest hurrying up).
Here is the link for purchase and a post on the main sub with the preliminary schedule and ticket buying guide.
We are hoping to go if nothing catastrophic happens!
I am just so glad these two found each other 😭 Look at the two OGMs.
Source is Misha's Instagram account. I don't know what it says but I am sure one of you do.
From Arlet Levandi's Instagram.
Guys it feels like I'm the only one who's not at Peak Ice. I feel left out.
I guess Urmanov is holding workshops there? I hope he gave Arlet some magic jumping aura and he'll get a World's spot.
I don't know if it's uncool to post videos from Instagram on Reddit. If it is, let me know and I'll nuke it. Credit goes to thepeakicecamps on Instagram.
They seem to be skating to the music that everyone else is also skating to this season.
I love how he's like "okay and I do a 3T here" and doesn't even bother to drill it lmao
New pairs have been forming left and right, but I haven't heard anything about Michał Woźniak. I know he was looking for a new partner. Does anyone know if he's been successful? I am really hoping he can come back to competition 🙏 Thank you!
The wait is killing me 😭
It caught my attention that the German Eurosport commentators said during Misha's Olympics free skate that Urmanov doesn't have many students. Does anyone know who else trains with him? Does he have an own camp like Mrs T. or Plushy? Wikipedia listed some former students like Yulia Lipnitskaya but there isn't much more information.
I swear, his jumps operate by anime physics. It is not possible for someone to just hang in the air like that.
Misha please give us some new content 😭
I bought a sketch book for the first time, and I will try to fill it with local wildlife. But it's also the last time I am buying one. I don't like it at all.
Some more sentimental Olys recap <3 And more Urmanov.
For Misha we have:
Grand Prix de France 2026: Aleksandr Selevko (EST), Samy Hammi (FRA), Adam Siao Him Fa (FRA), TBD (FRA), Nikolaj Memola (ITA), Kao Miura (JPN), Sota Yamamoto (JPN), Mikhail Shaidorov (KAZ), Minkyu Seo (KOR), Adam Hagara (SVK), Jimmy Ma (USA), Jacob Sanchez (USA)
Grand Prix Cup of China 2026: Yudong Chen (CHN), TBD (CHN), TBD (CHN), Nika Egadze (GEO), Kao Miura (JPN), Shun Sato (JPN), Mikhail Shaidorov (KAZ), Junhwan Cha (KOR), Minkyu Seo (KOR), Deniss Vasiljevs (LAT), Lucius Kazanecki (USA), Jacob Sanchez (USA)
Thoughts? CoC seems pretty stacked to me especially but I want to believe that he should qualify to the finals without too much trouble.
Should I go to Angers....
ETA Also great that they managed to keep Misha and Ilia separate.
This was so cute that I had to link it 😁 please give the creator a thumbs up if you like it!
I am in Turkey now and about to lose my mind. Packages are getting tinier and tinier and prices are going up and up. Especially things like chocolate bars are so small. I remember not that long ago a standard chocolate square bar was 100 gr, then it went down to 80 and now it's 60. I used to buy myself a small box of milk every so often, which was 200 ml and now it's 180. Even toilet paper has fewer leaves. It's so frustrating.
What about you guys? Do you notice it at all? Does shrinkflation have to be declared on the package?
