Jari is so beautiful to watch, sadly it wasn't his night

 

[Ichatdelune]

I just found out that Jari is a Finnish name (short form of Jalmari, which is the Finnish form of Hjalmar), wonder if he has Finnish heritage

In France it is actually considered an embarrassing name: like, your parents were trying too hard to give you an exotic name

Jari Kessler - beautiful, expressive skating, and extra points for music that's not a dirge ballad.

I'll be rooting for him in future - lots of originality and talent.

This was surprising to see Jari messing up the last spin so badly, I think he will get 0 points for that, yikes. He was out of gas during the last minute or so though.

However I like a lot watching him, his lines are so good. His choreo seq was to die for with that amazing spread eagle.

In Italy, also Maicol (spelled this way) is on the same boat.

I'm sure Kevin Aymos has rehabilitated the name!

Natan Braian Sceron, Giessica

Beautiful skated by Jari, I wish he could have continued the way he started, I think he still needs the minimums for WC

Natan Braian Sceron, Giessica

Wouldn't Natan be nah-tahn in Italian? Like, if you want the Nathan effect shouldn't you write it like Neitan..?

i just found out one of my appointments is canceled so I will be able to take that time to watch the last group just an hour after they skate... almost live... and if i stay away from the forum, i won't know the results before I watch the skates.. LOL

 

[bartlebooth]

Absolutely! When I read that article, I thought of him (and decathlete Kevin Mayer)!

M. Marsak... Let me guess. Star Wars? Another Sith lord?

Hello everyone - looking forward to your company.

Here to cheer on Graham, Deniss and Kevin - the men with the old-fashioned names...

I forgot - I'll also be cheering on Vallter - a super-old-fashioned name here in the UK - no-one under 110 is called Walter anymore!

it has to do more with italian voice actor pronunciation than actual english pronunciation. voice actors usually tend not to pronounce english names as they should but as italian may understand them better

 

[fehervari]

for a long time, I didn't understand what Skate Austria wanted from Zandron, if he can barely even skate the techminimums. but last season, when I paid a little more attention to him because of his brother, I kind of liked him. likeable skater. in fact, the entire Austrian team is. I can't wait for the Havers siblings to join them in ice dance

We just pronounce it Nah-Tahn with a Finnish T!

no need to guess... there is an article about it in the edge
