Jorik, as Kevin said the other day "it's your time to pick up the slack for Belgium". Do them proud!

Solid performance, save a couple of stepouts.

Score: 135.65, PB, total 204.63, PB and into 2nd

[Nadine]

My feed froze during the first half of Jorik's skate, but came back on during the 2nd half, and my eyes mistyed up when the music to "Chariots of Fire" came on. Brought to mind Kevin Van Der Perren and his illustrious career, and then his injury wherein he had to withdraw earlier. He shall rise again from the ashes; I don't think God wants him to end his career here. Jmho.


ps: I swear Jork looks like Keegan Messing of the USA.

[Nadine]

YES, he's second, way to go young man, you picked up the reigns for Belgium in fantastic style.

Really great skate from Contesti, I love how he sells this program, lots of personality & charm! Just the fall on that one jump & the 2foot on the combo., but his 3axels are HUGE and like "buttah".

And into 1st, well deserved, veteran, well deserved!
