17th Tirnavia Ice Cup | Oct 31 - Nov 2

[CaroLiza_fan]

Ach, I just noticed. Just like the Pinchas sisters earlier, the Sheiko brothers are in different groups!

Just once, can we have a set of siblings going in the same group? Or, even better, back-to-back? It makes it so much easier for us to compare them!

Well, it was the older brother, Nikita, that was in Group 1. And he was wearing a white shirt and grey trousers, and skating to that version of the "Schindler's List" music that has vocals. In other words, the version I don't like.

I think that's his Mum (Julia Shapiro) sitting with him. She's sitting with her back to the camera, so it's hard to tell.

He goes into a massive lead of nearly 30 points.

Gaaah!!! The "stream suspended" message re-appeared just as skater #5 Richard Alexander von GOELER (DEU) finished his programme.

Hope it comes back in time for the last skater in Group 1 starting.

Unfortunately, we could not see most of Rudenko's SP. Only the last seconds.

From the livescoring page, Richard Alexander von GOELER (DEU) went into 2nd position.

We did miss the start of the programme from Dmitry RUDENKO (SVK), but the pictures came back about half-way through his programme.

He was wearing all black, and skating to rock music.

And now the stream is buffering while he is waiting for his scores! (Although, that may be my end...)

No, it's their end. The "stream suspended" message is back again.

I am expecting a power cut at 7 p.m. I hope the stream will be archived and I'll be able to watch the rest of the Junior Men SP and the whole of Men SP later.

 

[Walt FSHunter]

Why is there such a long delay? No marks for Rudenko and no warm-up for Group 2.

Good to have you here!

I see there are only around 40 people watching at the moment, which is a shame. This is always a well run event.

Hey, if free streams are getting less than 50 viewers, I dread to imagine how few the pay streams are getting! Single figures?

That's a shame. But, I guess it is something that you have to endure for the bigger picture.

Stay safe.

I think they are having more than just streaming issues. There could be general internet connection issues at the rink.

The irony is that the son of the guy doing the streaming is the first to skate in Group 2.

[Walt FSHunter]

Oh, I've got a new message. No power cut for tonight. So I can watch live.

 

[CaroLiza_fan]

Looks like there was a delay at the rink.

Well, at least we didn't miss anything. But the livescoring page still isn't working

Sorry, Jakub ČURMA (SVK), but I don't like your blue and white shirt.

I always try to watch free streams and mostly live. Only if a few events are overlapping I have to catch up one of them later. It was extremely challenging to follow Diamond Spin in Poland as the stream was unrewindable.

That's good. But, unfortunately, due to the delay, I am going to have to leave before the Junior boys are finished. I had been hoping to see them all and only have to play catch-up on the Seniors, but alas!

I always aim to do the same, but I am finding it increasingly difficult to find the time to play catch-up on things I have missed. So, it is mostly just what I can watch live. And only on free official streams. I don't trust these pirate streams.

At least there aren't too many left to skate here today, so I will hopefully get them fitted in before skating starts tomorrow.

There is definitely a technical issue at the rink. Not only is the livescoring page not working, but the scores are not being announced over the tannoy either.

[CaroLiza_fan]

Well, that was a dramatic programme from Jan VALTERA (CZE), the first of back-to-back Czech skaters.

And I am afraid that this is where I leave you.

All the best to those that are still to skate.

By the way, Jakub ČURMA's brother Jozef junior is in the next group (the Seniors). So, the trend continues of having siblings in different groups!

Who knows? Has Viliam got any relation to Jozef Sabovcik, a double European champion and Olympic bronze medalist of 1984?

 

[Walt FSHunter]

Fingers crossed for my compatriot Novikov. Good luck to you Vadym!

 

[Walt FSHunter]

Alas, not the best SP for Vadym. Just a single axel, though 3Lz+ 3T and a solo 3F were rather good.

Jumping Joe's Wikipedia page mentions a couple of sons, but neither of them are named Viliam. That said, with anybody being able to write the pages, the family details may not be complete.

Of course, he might be another type of relative, such as a nephew. Or not related. In short, I don't know. But, it would be cool if he was.

I saw Jozef skating a few years ago at the Oberstdorf end-of-year Gala when it used to be shown on Eurosport, and he was very entertaining. Whether Viliam is related to him or not, I hope he is too.

By the way, I haven't seen the Senior Men yet. Unfortunately, when I came back to play catch-up, the stream ended during of the Senior Men's Warm-Up. I should have known bettter, and just continued watching after finishing the Junior Men. But, no, I did something else first.

I'll know better for tomorrow!

Day 3 of the Tirnavia Cup is starting now. We begin by having the Free Skate segments for the levels whose Short Programme segments were held yesterday (in the same order as yesterday), and then finish with a Ladies SP double-bill.

Livestream for the Advanced Novice Ladies FS is now on air.

Here is the link for the livestream:

All the other information you may need can be found in the OP of this thread.

Hope this helps

ALL THE BEST EVERYBODY!!!

See, this is why they shouldn't put the adverts on during the last minute of the Warm-Up. Because it was timed wrong, and we ended up returning to the arena during the first skater's programme.

Which is a real pity, because I really enjoyed what I saw of this programme from Shaked PINCHAS (ISR).

I was going to ask if that was her sister sitting with her, but then I realised that Shahaf is going to be skating in about 15 minutes. So, it is hardly her.
