He competed at NRW Trophy two weeks ago, but with very poor results. He only finished 16th and got like 130 something points which would have put him second to last at German Nationals but he didnt show up there. Maybe he realized it was time to call it quits???

Well, it was reported that Lindemann had the flu...
His coach said that if none of the German men at Euros places higher than 12th, there'll be a comp to determine who'll go to worlds. in that case Lindemann would have another chance this season

I rely on that tiny tiny chance... Please Stefan!! I don't want to cry for you one more season...

Peter Liebers is the one to go to Euros and Worlds, imo. There is talent there although he needs a good coach to make it first class talent.

I have to agree. He is the future, he needs more confidence, a more sophisticated coaching team - but he has the goods in my opinion. The Axel seems to be more steady this season, last season he also landed a Quad with just minus one GOE. He also needs confidence in his choreography, he still looks a bit lost out there.

Last year he was 13th at Europeans, he could improve on that.
