This is a short interview with Misha for an educational platform that was posted on Reddit today. I tried to translate it for you as quickly as I could

The editing in the video isn’t the best, but I did my best to convey as clearly as possible what Misha meant. Sometimes it might seem like his answers don’t quite match the question asked, but that’s how it is in the original too. I honestly have a lot of questions about the editing

As always, if you have any questions, feel free to ask in the comments. If you need anything else translated, just let me know

I came across it on twitter but the user deleted their account so it’s not visible anymore 🥺 it is from a Kazakh broadcaster but couldn’t find anything anywhere.

Which jumps do you think Misha has the best technique on? Which ones do you see as not as good?

As a newer fan, I've been trying to pay attention and study the technical side of things rather than just general vibes. In the online figure skating community, I've seen lots of praise for his triple axel. His lutz and flip are the jumps I've seen (rightfully imo) called out for lesser technique. Personally I think his toe loops and salchows look really great. Even for the jumps where he may not have the best entry from a technique standpoint I feel like his in-air position, rotation speed, and height help counterbalance some of the questionable elements. Maybe he doesn't have the *best* lutz or flip, but also far FAR from the worst.

I know this topic can be controversial and some fans have very different ideas about how technique should be evaluated and what aspects should make a jump be considered "cheated". Not trying to start that here but I'm genuinely curious to learn more about what jumps Misha is the strongest and weakest in.

Personally I am torn between his 3A and 4T. The lunge entry 4T is just so satisfying I could watch compilations of it on a loop for hours

How about this outfit?
