S02 E12: Russian Nationals 2022 - Men & Ice Dance
Welcome to our Russian Nationals recap episodes! This week, Men and Ice Dance brought the big drama, as we have a (wonderful!) somewhat-surprise Men’s gold medalist in Mark Kondratiuk, and a celebration that the Backstreet Boys, Justin Bieber, and Shawn Mendez (and Alexandra Stepanova and Ivan Bukin) will likely be going to the Olympics together.
We again wondered where J-Lo was in Mikhail Kolyada’s SP, but were very happy to see the return of Nureyev in his FS. The mystery intensified about Dmitri Aliev’s vague statements, but we wish him well as we move into the second half of the season.
In the Ice Dance event, we talked about Russian athletes vs Russian officials and the absolute cluster the latter creates, and talked about teams with Good Packaging vs teams with Needs to be Improved Packaging.
