Does anyone know something more about this competition?

EDIT: I managed to find myself I guess it's Italy Cup or something like that. Vale & Ondrej did well ^^ They scored 59.27 for SP (which worse than Lombardia), but 125.31 for FP which is way better than Lombardia & their overall is 7 points better too! I'm waiting for videos to be uploaded

I knew nothing about it. Apparently there was live streaming also. :disapp: Anyway, she says the videos are coming.

Their free program looks visibly better than in Lombardia

Yes, much better! There's still room to grow, but there are certain moments in this program that I already really like.

First Grand Prix event for Valentina&Ondrej is coming!
Let's have some fun! I'm sure I will!
Also love that Ondrej always post pics with Michal. Czech boys so handsome

SP practice Forza Italia

Oh my. I hope he will be okay. I wish him speedy recovery, I like their team.

Another concussion - I hope Ondrej takes all the time he needs to recover and doesn't get back into it too fast. From their TSL interview a few months ago, I know he seemed concerned about injuries and working smarter to not get hurt. Sorry to hear about this, as I would love to see these 2 at Worlds.

 

[cathlen]

What is with the injuries this season? :hpull: I was so shocked when I saw the results that they withdrew, cause I knew something bad must have happened I really wish Ondrej all the best! I hope he will take his time to heal, I only want to see him skate when he fully recover

 

[tulosai]

I also wish him a full and speedy recovery!

Btw. links in OP to their programs in Warsaw Cup last year aren't working anymore

 

[Catlau]

Ondrej seem to feel better :hap93:

Great news ! I hope he will have completely recovered for the Rostelecom Cup !

Best of luck Vale & Ondrej! Forza Italia

Vale & Ondrej did well, so I keep my fingers crossed for them in FP! I want to see their SBS 3Lz :luv17:

 

[solani]

I wondered yesterday why their score was so low with those triple lutzes, and now I read the protocols and saw that obviously Valentina doubled her lutz. I guess I only watched Ondrej (and she's also a bit hidden behind him). That's why she wasn't satisfied with their performance. I thought it was very good, the program really grows on me. They are able to handle this difficult music selection. It's fun!

 

[apgold]

I think it's the SBS jumps that did them in - the throw jumps were great!

The program is fun b/c they seem to like the music but I can't get behind a program that has Debby Boone in it. That song was everywhere when I was a little kid, couldn't stand it then and the same now. I would've preferred a full on Disco program rather than '70s schmaltz.
