2026 European Championships Men's Short Program

[Ichatdelune]

Great skate for the home crowd, bad for my eardrums, why do some folks STILL forget to turn off their flash when taking photos

 

[FlossieH]

Nice from Ed. He's struggled getting jumps back after his injury, so the 2A was probably sensible even if he doesn't qualify.

Edward. Nice outfit and program. Good skate in front of home crowd.

Ed sometimes trains at my rink and is always such a joy to watch he's done himself proud in front of a home audience!

Has living in America affected Chris' geography? Essex is not "this neck of the woods" for Yorkshire. They are totally different ends of England!

Edward APPLEBY (GBR) is wearing all black and skating to "Another Love" by Tom Odell.

And I was really enjoying it until the music went all techno towards the end. That really spoiled it.

Well, he didn't let the audience down! He was great!

Both of my kids sitting with him! Hello Zoe and Chris!

He goes into 10th position. So, one position away from qualifying.

They are disappointed, but putting on brave faces.

Nope. He needs Kulish to make mistakes now. Lewton Brain qualifies.

Here at last. Good afternoon!

Good skate from Pitot. I think he probably has the most consistent SP of the French skaters this season.

 

[bartlebooth]

Another good Euro debut!

Francois. Nice outfit and program. Really good skate.

Ed sometimes trains at my rink and is always such a joy to watch he's done himself proud in front of a home audience!

Please tell him that this entire international skating board thinks he was wonderful

I had to!

My goodness, how did Muse get away with recording this blatant rip off of Wham's "Freedom"?!

Actually, I think "Freedom" would have worked better than "Dig Down".

Possible plagiarism on the music part aside, I really enjoyed that programme from Francois PITOT (FRA).

He goes into 4th position.

Less wild on the jumps from Kupermann, which is good to see.

 

[Jeanie19]

Tamir. Really good outfit and program. Great skate. He is so happy.

 

[bartlebooth]

Another good Euro debut!

And yet another one!

 

[CaroLiza_fan]

Tamir KUPERMAN (ISR) doesn't need to remind us that it is winter. We can feel it!

And the ice blue, white, and black costume just emphasises it!

That said, Vivaldi's "Winter" always makes good programmes. And this is no exception.

He goes into the lead.
