2026 European Championships Women's Short Program

Mikutina fell and her jumps are hardly rotated.

Nobody has choreography like Olga, she always has something unique and creative. I loved the slow movement of her free leg from the front to the back as went across the diagonal on her way to the axel approach. Makes the combination happen on the flip despite the two-footed landing. I loved the Y-spin at the end; I think that's the first one of the evening. The way she comes from the sit position, holding the toe of her boot, and then rises with that leg coming up and up and up - the strength and suppleness that takes is astonishing. And she qualifies, hooray.

Oh and for Mlle. Mikutina...

 

[FlossieH]

Olga has made it.

 

[sissy7]

Safe!

 

[norwegianfairytale]

Puh, that PCS really helped her!

 

[Skating91]

Come on Mariia take the lead!

I really was not expecting those vocals to come in during Olga MIKUTINA (AUT)'s programme. And I wish they hadn't. I think the programme would have been much better if it had stayed as an instrumental.

She was wearing a dress of various shades of grey (no, not fifty!)

I do like what she has done with her hair.

Hard fall on her backside.

Watching the replays, it wasn't as good as I initially thought.

Before the replays, Chris was saying she hadn't done enough to qualify. By the end of them, he was saying she might.

She does qualify. Into 5th position.

Heard Maria will be a flag bearer in Milano, what an honor

Olga's skating is so beautiful, she has excellent lines and posture but the jumps just weren't here for her, thankfully she made it to the free at least.

 

[elektra blue]

Olga made it!

 

[moonvine]

I’m mother to all Israeli skaters!

 

[Paulipau]

Sarina is very good skater, she does everything very well, but not great.
Remind me of younger Frolova, not sure about this transfer to Italy idea. Anna and Lara are both very original skaters.

Frolova found her time to shine and I hope Sarina will as well

 

[Paulipau]

Seniuks choreography seems very pointless to me.

 

[Lamente Ariane]

So happy for Olga!

 

[FlossieH]

Maria did well to get the second half of that combo out.

 

[Ichatdelune]

Ahhhhh not being parched is wonderful, I hope I didn't miss anything spectacular by choosing to skip Mlle. Seniuk

 

[Skating91]

Such a nice skater at least she is through, but has the ability to easily take the lead

 

[flanker]

Mariia is one of the skaters who will always have troubles with nerves.

Hi, Połina Tsurskaya!
