2021 Nebelhorn Trophy: Men's Free Skate

[elektra blue]

did Brendan borrow that costume from the spin doctor himself?

 

[Beckaboomer]

Oh dear Brendan... please channel that energy from yesterday.

 

[Lamente Ariane]

Huh, I guessed Les Mis.

 

[EdgeCall]

0.25 over Sihyeong?

If Josefin Talljegard doesn't get to go to the Olympics, I will be furious. She is a brilliant performer and deserves to go. For heaven's sake, she was 15th at Worlds! It's far better to send someone who can finish in the top 15 at the Olympics than no one at all!

Please read my post in the European skating thread

They're so ridiculous.

How are you supposed to grow your sport? Especially as scores at World's tended to be high. Their standards seem completely against the spirit of the Olympics.

I think it all has to do with funding. FS is expensive and Sweden has many other winter sports to focus on...

 

[Ichatdelune]

Haha, pretty energetic. Is Peaky blinders a good series to watch?

Excellent show, 10/10 would recommend

 

[skylark]

Haha, pretty energetic. Is Peaky blinders a good series to watch?

Excellent. Disturbing too ... but it's got the context, of how and why the characters went that route. You have to watch from the beginning, especially to understand the effect of WWI on the brothers.

 

[EdgeCall]

And next - the best haircut in skating!

Looks like Brendan spent so much time on the haircut that he couldn't decide which dress to wear to it.

 

[Ichatdelune]

The bear that ate the Finnish doctor's jacket strikes again

 

[Lamente Ariane]

And mute, sorry Brendan.

[Jontor]

Come on Brendan! Hold it together.

I think so too. But I think there needs to be a balance between funding and reasonable expectations. Like how do they expect to get medal contenders? Furthermore, there is more to the Olympics than medals.

Fight Brendan, fight!

 

[essence_of_soy]

Up and down skate from Kerry. But really fought for the jumps and included an unscheduled triple axel to finish. Hope he makes the OG team with that skate.

 

[Lamente Ariane]

That was a great step sequence! I think he’s got it.

Your friendly reminder that Italy are not in the running.

[Skatesocs]

He actually has rather nice jumps, but he just basically never hits them.
