2026 World Figure Skating Championships | Men's Short Program

Agree, but I hope it's slowly changing, they've been sending skaters a bit more this season. It seems chinese skating is rebuilding after Beijing olympics and pandemic (the strick zero covid policy hit them strongly). However, I think they focus a lot on local competition, there's plenty of them and it doesn't translate to intenational results.

they have too many of them and often their skaters are tired because of them, a bit like the Koreans

Alp. Nice outfit and a really nice program. Good skate.

Alp Eren ÖZKAN (TUR) wearing a plain brown top and black trousers.

Skating to instrumental music. The first piece is from the soundtrack of "Lion" (which I watched a few months ago and really enjoyed), which is where the costume fits in.

The story wasn't really told in the programme (I'm not sure how you could tell it), but he skated well.

He goes into 4th position.

Andreas, mama's love, keep it together and make it to the free

 

[snowflake]

GO Andreas! A clean skate should do it, even without a quad

 

[EdgeCall]

Nooo pop!

I'm so happy Andreas brought back to his program, I love it so much!!!!! It is such good choreography!!!!! I'm going to bribe the judges so he gets into the free program you didn't see that single flip, it was a lovely triple.

i need to stop cheering jinxing people...

 

[FlossieH]

Oh Andreas, you can do that flip so easily...

 

[Seven Sisters]

Andreas has had this program seemingly forever, but it’s fabulous and I never get tired of seeing it. A shame about the flip

 

[cocteautwin]

damn no Why? I love this program, it's so weirdly cool, even if it's 100 years old.

 

[snowflake]

Andreas nervous but fighting !

 

[EdgeCall]

What a pity. It looked like a good, determined skate for most of the time, were it not for the pop. And on top of it, Rinky managed to puke on his back.

 

[Ruthypegs]

Morning everyone! Looking forward to your company.

Here to cheer on many skaters, but most of all Deniss, Yuma, Ed and Kevin

Andreas. Great program. So sad about the flip. Great spins and step sequence. Please make the free.

 

[YuBluByMe]

Nordeback’s getting the combo in was miraculous. The choreography in this program is great. I’ve always liked it and he’s skated to it for several seasons now. Shame about the pop!

 

[auser]

I never get tired of seeing Andreas' cool and interesting moves in this program. Too bad about the flip.

 

[Ruthypegs]

I love this programme for Andreas - he's so musical and expressive.

 

[bartlebooth]

I was hoping that his Zandronesque choice would prevent Andreas from randomly popping. Sigh.

Andreas NORDEBÄCK (SWE) wearing a black top that is plain at the front and has a large pattern on the back, and black trousers.

Skating to "Personal Jesus" by Depeche Mode.

Love that he is skating to Depeche Mode.

But, it didn't work out for Andreas today.

I can't help if wonder if this was my fault. Before the skating came on, I watched one of the Cross Country races from the Olympics, and Sweden won it. So, did that fill today's luck quota for Sweden?

He goes into 2nd position.

Just shows how good his good elements were!
