Good to see Lindemann back on track! Will this be an easy one for KvdP?

I remember enjoying Fernandez's programs at Euros last season. I am wondering if Contesti will make another big statement here.

GO Kevin VDP and ALL OF ISRAEL's SKATERS!!!!!

is there a results page?

Here`s the result page:

Oh, I'm glad I didn't jinx Contesti or Fernandez (so far).
The score for Lindemann is so low, he probably bombed it but I hope he comes back strong in the free program.

Marchei is behind her teammate Rio, that's not a good sign, but she may not be in 100% shape yet and she probably fell on a jump. I hope she will will have a clean skate in the free.

Tamar Katz not in the SP result, I guess she withdrew.

Also, I looked at the senior ladies results and realized that, when I first looked at the roster before the competition started, I overlooked the name Karen Venhuizen. This means, I suppose, she overcame the hard-to-cure desease that she fell victim to (ah I forgot the name of the desease at the moment) last Feb or March, so I want to congratulate her comeback. Her SP score isn't anywhere near her PB though.

Hmm, ladies FS is over and just by looking at the scores both Gedevanishvili nor Marchei seem to have struggled.

I'm wondering how Italian skating fed decides who to send to Worlds. I don't know the results of the Italian Nats last week, but wonder whether both Valentina Marchei and Francesca Rio participated in it, and whether they decide based on the Nationals results. Rio is in the junior GP but she is old enough for senior Worlds if I'm not mistaken.

Wooo, KVDP! He reintroduced his Quad - with +0.6 GOE! He got 145.59 in the freeskate - despite doubling the second Flip, not having a third combo and only level 2 on his steps. I don't want him to repeat the Flip though, he can do a second Triple Axel in the second half, during the last one or two years it became such a consistent jump for him.

Euros is going to be such a blast. This Contesti guy could be good for a Top Ten finish at Europeans. Good outing for Tretiakov too, 7 nearly clean Triples, including clean Triple Axel... Fernandez seemed to have had a bit of a hard time, but still, not bad. He also gets good PCS. And the two Triple Axels look promising. This also smells a bit like a possible Top Ten finish at Euros.

Now I will go video hunting for KVDP's freeskate...
