00:13In his debut at the World Championships, he was phenomenal, not just in the competition in Milan, but in practice,
00:23the consistency was a talking point around the community of skaters, and that makes people start to discuss Stephen Gogolev.
00:30There's a potential world medalist if he can deliver even better than what we saw from him a month ago.
00:36The music, zip, gun, pop.
01:02Time 54, got a hand down in the corner.
01:08Wide toe, triple toe, done with ease.
01:17So the concept is that he's a smooth-talking gangster stepping into a bank.
01:29And Claude Saukau.
01:32I love you.
02:14Triple Axle.
02:29Some dangerously low-hanging laces there.
02:37Oh, I don't like that.
02:40Oh my gosh.
02:42The referee needs to consider maybe acknowledging that.
03:02Wow, that could be, get under his place and cause a real problem.
03:07Let's hope they stay away from.
03:10Looks like they're still looped.
03:11They just released.
03:13Some of the skates come with such long laces now.
03:18Can't figure that one out.
03:32Looks like he's gonna make it to the end.
03:35Wow, that was spectacular.
03:38So much energy.
03:40And I love how he really connected through, in between all of the high technical content in that program.
03:48Just well, well done.
03:50And that is what has elevated Steven Gogolev.
03:53As I mentioned, a child protege with amazing jumping passes.
03:56But now it's the packaging which has really shut him up.
03:59And the consideration of what he can achieve.
04:02The program titled The Heist.
04:05He's in 1920s New York.
04:06And then the sirens rise.
04:08And there's the chaos and adrenaline begins.
04:10There's a whole story concept behind it.
04:12And whether you know it or not, you can sense it from his delivery.
04:15Which has to be rewarded by the judges on the composition and the presentation.
04:19And it was backed up with the consistency that he has been showcasing.
04:23Two clean quads.
04:24Easy triple axel.
04:26And level four.
04:27And every one of the other levelable elements.
04:30And all positive GOEs.
04:32Top to bottom elements.
04:33And our anxiety over the lace didn't come into the discussion, thankfully.
04:38Thankfully, he's right.
04:40Quad toe.
04:41Triple toe.
04:45And then the quad style cow.
04:47I mean, look at the height he has.
04:49He's very easy to get the landing out.
04:55And lastly, the triple axel.
04:57Leg coming through.
04:59Vaulting him into the air.
05:00Tight air position.
05:01And just right over that skating foot.
05:04And always fun watching coaches.

05:42point nine nine that was the personal best achieved at the game he might beat that today
05:47this was a spectacular performance yes oh wow 94.38 for steven gogalev a new personal best
05:56now just for a little bit of context 94 points was the score of a third place performance 12
06:02months ago in boston so his 94 points here is not to guarantee a top three placement but it just
06:08gets us an indication that
