2026 European Championships Women's Free Skate

[Ares]

Not great from Schild but better than her compatriot a moment ago if that's some consolation. I was scared it might be a very bad skate after the fall on the first jump. Oh well, it turns out I was wrong even for my prediction, she drops behind Serna

Gladki champion of France for the next 10 years

She is bleeding from her nose?

I think she cut her hand

ETA it seems indeed a nosebleed

 

[Sabsi]

We definitely need this now

Oh my god I did not expect that from the French girls. Will they still keep their 2 spots?

Double French!

Lorine SCHILD (FRA) didn't go all out on the Frenchness, though. Although the music was by a Frenchman, the vocals were in English.

This is another dress where I like the botton half, but not the top half. The top half is pink, while the bottom half is deep red.

Not her best skate. But, better than Léa before her.

She's disappointed.

Or maybe not better than Léa.

She goes into 8th position in the FS, and 7th position overall.

So, to sum up the first two groups. Josefin was carrot clean and Julia Sauter went "AAAAHH".

I doubt that

 

[Skating91]

Karhunen and Sauter have been a cut above and can be proud of their performances.

 

[Seven Sisters]

Who cursed Team France at Euros? Adam's out, Kevin didn't make the free, both the women had really rough free skates, Camille Kovalev's shoulder is held together with 50% duct tape, and ice dance is, well, ice dance (le sigh).

To say nothing of all the brouhaha surrounding Papadakis and Cizeron, together and separately

We definitely need this now

Especially since my baby girl is next to skate.

I hope somebody has slipped some pixie dust into the Zambonis, and that it will make the ice magical for the skaters to come.

Plan A: A lot of pixie dust magic
Plan B: Rinky has an unfortunate accident with the Zamboni

 

[Karoltyna]

Now I'm spiraling, I need to eat something. Or drink. Or whatever.

 

[Karoltyna]

candles for Katia and I'm going to light some more.

Here

 

[Ichatdelune]

Let's see how much my voodoo powers have come back, here's a candle for Katia and @Karoltyna 's sanity 🕯

 

[CaroLiza_fan]

You know, what they are doing now during the interval (asking people to dance when they are shown on camera to try to win tickets to the Gala) is the sort of thing that would put me off going to an event like this.

Mind you, I would probably take the opportunity to head to the toilet anyway, and would miss it all.

She is going to Nordics and I hope she'll get the minimums there.

Or another swedish woman if one gets the minimum? Josefin is great to watch but it's sad that not one of her fellow women can challenge her. Suppose girls in Sweden aren't fully focusing on skating. Btw I wonder if Josefin could have been helped by a top notch jump coach. Whatever I'm fine with her doing her thing having her sisters as coaches.

 

[EdgeCall]

Cheering-wise Katya belongs in the last group.
