My issue with Gachinski is that he's just not a very good competitor. Talented, technically excellent but I just don't see enough fire in him.

Why is the music on euro sport 2 always way ahead of the skate, i.e. starts playing even before the skaters are in starting position?

Goooo Javi! Make it to GPF and win there! I hope his injury isn't too severe and he's responsibly taking care of himself though

 

[Icey]

When did Javi get injured? I'm interested to see if Carriere can by pass Max at this competition?

 

[JasonLover]

I think, in SP, all skaters have got good performance and it will be so contentious, Javi, Jason, Kozuka and Max are have got more stronger technical the others. And my results is; 1st Javi, 2nd Jason, 3rd Kozuka, 4th Max...

If he skates clean Voronov will quite likely medal here. But that's a fairly big 'if'.

He has tendinitis in his knee and posted a picture on instagram a while ago, after the CoC fiasco now any injury makes me really nervous because I'm no longer convinced they're responsibly taking care of themselves

 

[Sandpiper]

I never imagine a "if everyone skates clean" scenario in the men's field. Especially not after the usually-great women are underwhelming (last time that happened was CoC, and then the men's SP was just...

Clean skates have become a rarity almost.

Well, to be frankly I'd rather see skaters not deliver clean skates at the early season and save their better performances for the bigger competitions at the end of seasons.

Are people getting weight lifting on the eurosport link?

 

[Icey]

I wonder if saving performances is something that is controllable?

 

[Icey]

Are people getting weight lifting on the eurosport link?

Yes, just waiting for skating to start.
