They already have an entries/results page: http://www.kraso.sk/wp-content/uploads/sutaze/2013_2014/20131204_4Nat/

Does anyone have any information on Zsuzsanna Nagy and Máté Fejes? I haven't heard anything about them since Worlds. They haven't competed since then and they are not on the entries list for Four Nationals either. I can't find any recent information on them. Are they injured? Or have they retired?
I know that for some reason Camille Foucher and Márk Magyar's partnership didn't work out. So Hungary again doesn't have any pair skating teams (as far as I know).

Ziggy · Dec 11, 2013

Thanks Bea, I've edited it in.

I wonder why Kubova/Novak aren't entered in Senior Dance. Is it an injury or did they split?

Only one Senior Pair.

No Chiappas (the American-Hungarian ladies) entered.

Alexandra Kamieniecki is back after not having competed for a year or so! I thought she quit skating.

Bea · Dec 11, 2013

I also noticed the absence of Chiappas. :confused2:
One more thing about the ladies. In spring Viktória Pavuk was reported to try to come back for Europeans. But she hasn't competed this season and is not entered for nationals either. So I think she has retired after all.

Ziggy · Dec 11, 2013

Ivett Toth has most of the triples and has been landing them with decent consistency so even had Pavuk come back, she would have probably lost the National title.

Yes, I know that. But she is too young to compete at Europeans this season. Because of this Hungary most likely won't have a ladies competitor there. I didn't have high hopes for Pavuk anyway. I just thought I'd mention it.

Oh I forgot that Toth was so young still. She won't be able to compete in Seniors until next season, right?

dorispulaski · Dec 11, 2013

Hasn't Ivett had a growth spurt this year? Just as well if she can get that over with before going on to seniors?

Yes, that's right. She will turn 15 this December.

They should just call it Central European Championships. Four Nationals sounds stupid

Ziggy · Dec 19, 2013

Hmm it looks like the second Polish senior ice dance team (Zvorigina/Bernadowski) is done. Unless there is an injury I am not aware of. They haven't competed internationally at all this season. I guess they must have quit after being overtaken by Plutowska/Gerber. Shame.

Alex D · Dec 19, 2013

I so wanted to go, Bratislava is just 4 hours from me. Sadly I can´t

Good Luck to all the athletes!

Thank you for the link.

I would also like to know what happened with Kubova & Novak.

I watched Petr Coufal - clean skate, 3lutz + 3 toeloop, 3 rittberger, 2axel.

Tomas Verner - 3 lutz+3toeloop, 3axel, 3flip, a little bit shacky landings, but clean. Where is quad?

Michal Brezina will skate in the last group as last skater.

I didn't hear a commentator annoucing the marks.

Right now, there is ice resurfacing before last group.

herios · Dec 20, 2013

After checking the video, Verner had only 1 "shacky" landing, his solo triple, the combo was landed beautifully and his axel was also pretty good:

His lead over Brezina is 13 points, hard to imagine Tomas losing this title now.

I'm surprised to see Verner so far ahead of Brezina!!

Ziggy · Dec 21, 2013

Granny was on the technical panel for Men SP. <3

A clean program from Verner finally! Cieplucha was clean as well, very nice.

I've added the live streaming links to the OP. It looks like you can watch both live and on-demand later.

Senior Ladies - Short Program

1. Alexandra Kamieniecki /POL/

long and tentative entry into 3lutz (fall)
3salchow/2toe with arm above
2axel - poor flow out but full length of the ice rink of transitions into it
flying sit a bit slow but combination spin good, layback and steps ok
presentation improved

2. Agata Kryger /POL/

3toe/2toe
3salchow
2axel - all three jumping passes solid!
spins a little weak and steps slow though (although she finally executed a clean biellmann and the combination spin was decent)
she needs to work on her expression but her presentation seems slowly improving

Placed behind Kamieniecki. I'm not sure what I think about that, we'll know more when protocols are up.

Ziggy · Dec 21, 2013

3. Ada Wawrzyk /POL/

3toe/2toe - landed but very poor technique: forced and possibly pre-rotated take-offs, lack of height
3loop - underrotated a lot and two-footed (probably <<)
2axel
spins not too bad
poor lines, clunky movement, slow, very basic choreography
