2026 European Championships Pairs Short Program

[Seven Sisters]

It warms my old cold and cynical heart to see old-timers like the Kovalevs skate so well, as they prepare to close out their long—and generally enjoyable—career. Well done, Cami & Pavel

 

[Jumping_Bean]

Good skate for the Kovalevs, especially considering her shoulder. Well done, you two

 

[flanker]

I'm back.

 

[elektra blue]

Is going to the bathroom worth all the going up and down the stairs

God the interview questions are so awkward

well, my better half, certain things can't wait sadly see it as an exsercise

 

[Ares]

Better than I expected from Kovalevs. One lift & death spiral weren't seamless but they nailed a triple toeloop & the presentation was lovely.

 

[FlossieH]

I'm back.

Perfectly timed for an ice resurface. That's normally my trick!

 

[sissy7]

They are making them wait

 

[Ichatdelune]

Well that took long, bathroom break it is

The lines are sooooooooo looooong

Beautiful Triple Twist to start with.

Phew. Just about made it around. (Thought Camille was going to kick the camera! )

Reverse Lasso Lift beautiful.

And so was the next throw.

Death Spiral and Combination Spins beautiful too.

They are on it today! Everything is beautiful!

So good to see them happy when they finished for a change.

Even when they were coming off the ice they were smiling and chatting away.

And it should be noted that Pavel is standing up straight. Over the past year or so, we have become used to seeing him doubled up trying to catch his breath.

Good point, Tonia. Camille's shoulder won't like the Death Spiral.

Awww. Bruno, Camille and Pavel all with massive smiles when waiting for the scores.

Throughout the delay, so much laughing and joking between the three of them.

They go into 2nd position.

WELL DONE CAMILLE AND PAVEL!!!

Bruno is such a giant, it looks like he could lift both Camille and Pavel

 

[ramurphy2005]

Oof, Artem's skates got lost, and he had to perform that short in new skates.

 

[elektra blue]

Well that took long, bathroom break it is

The lines are sooooooooo looooong

pretend to be sick and cough on the neck of the girl in fron of you, when she leaves, repeat with the new person in front of you

Came in after the Icelandic team and now I finally have time to go back and watch their program during the resurfacing. That was really good!! I really hope they keep moving up in the rankings.

 

[TT_Fin]

I came from work when Iceland's pair was skating. Anything worth watching before their skate?

 

[FlossieH]

I hope that is a pre-recorded interview with Luke, rather than a live one disrupting his prep.

 

[CaroLiza_fan]

After chatting about the group we just saw, now Mark and Molly are interviewing local boy Luke Digby, who we will be seeing skating with Blackpool's Anastasia Vaipan-Law in the next group.

Ooooh, it didn't twig with me until I wrote that they were a Lancashire-Yorkshire partnership!

I hope they aren't cricket fans...

Iceland were the first pair to skate.

 

[sissy7]

Went back to see Julia and Manuel, they are improoving nicely

 

[TT_Fin]

I should not have written yesterday to another thread that our commentators do not chat so much ss the have used to (based on Finlandia trophy). Now they do. Should I turn on Vpn and Isu channel?

 

[SmileHappy34]

I forgot it is on and I missed pairs. I saw a few.
