2019 Europeans Men's Free Skate

Really? Most of his jumps had iffy landings.... Though kudos he landed them all.

I think it was his sheer level of energy that knocked my socks off. He wasn't giving anything up.

I honestly like Samarin. He seems so determined and is obviously a hardworker but he needs someone to polish his jumps and get a better choreographer!

Yay! Great job Sasha!!!

 

[Ichatdelune]

Good for him but I'm terrified for Javi right now

 

[draqq]

He deserves to be in first, but almost 89 PCS is a bit much judges...

I honestly wonder how Samarin lands any jumps. So many of them look terrifying in the air. :shocked:

To quote Scott Hamilton "How does he do that? He's a cat!"

OMG Javiiii, you can do it I believe in you!

 

[readernick]

That presentation mark. How and Why? But, I
am happy for Samarin!

I pretty much agree with this, but that score makes me wonder why I like this sport so much.

To be fair Liza never gets that +GOE benefit of the doubts on her turn outs.

Her turns out on a 3A was judged mostly with 0 or -1 GOE at the end, but maybe it was something more to deduct from positives (as telegraphing), or she didn't have that much positives to begin with (Samarin had very very good height for example)

Nice jumping from Samarin, bit iffy landings. In terms of steps, transitions or choreo there was almost nothing going on. No originality whatsoever. Decent speed though, but I do not get these huge component scores. He skated on one plane the whole time and does not appear to have much avarenes of his hands.

Javi is the Man from La Mancha!

 

[readernick]

This is quality! Beautiful!

 

[ancientpeas]

I am going to miss Javi so much..

 

[tabsy]

Whoo! Phew!! :hap85:

I don’t think it’s enough with that step out and pop. One or the other but not both.
