2026 European Championships Pairs Short Program

[Jeanie19]

Julia/Manuel. Beautiful outfits. Nice program. Really good skate.

 

[FlossieH]

The Icelandic pair have improved a lot. Are they a Bergamo pair, or was that the pair which represented Sweden and have now split?

 

[dorispulaski]

Slow, but some really nice elements.

She UR'd the jump and stepped out, but otherwise lovely.

 

[CaroLiza_fan]

ooooh they match the rink

Well, at least it is the writing they match, rather than the ice itself. Means they don't blend in quite as often.#

Really don't like this version of "Imagine". John Lennon is probably spinning in his grave.

But, at least the skating was good from Julia Sylvia GUNNARSDOTTIR / Manuel PIAZZA (ISL).

Yes, an enjoyable start the event.

Manuel's former partner up now.

Yes, they are coached by Hotárek.

 

[Karoltyna]

This is a nice score for them

I still have an hour till I can waddle home in the snow from work, so slippery, and then I can watch!!!
Until then, only peeking at the reults and this chat. Let me see though your eyes

 

[elektra blue]

who is with Chris on the isu feed?

 

[EdgeCall]

Not perfect, but beautiful performance.

 

[Ichatdelune]

So far no splats and happy skaters, this is good

 

[dorispulaski]

Czechs

Also slow
Twist a little low on the landing but ok. Will lose a level on the arms ?
2a ok
Throw 3s step out
Technically ok but unexciting lift
Nice ds
Spin unison off

I liked the Iceland couple more

Into 2nd - judges agreed

 

[Jeanie19]

Anna/Martin. Her dress is beautiful. Beautiful program and a good skate.

 

[FlossieH]

That was a nice skate from Valesi/Bidar, but not their best. They will probably have been expecting to go comfortably into the lead over the Icelandic pair, and I'm not sure that they will.

 

[flanker]

Ours (CZE+ITA) were worse...

 

[FlossieH]

who is with Chris on the isu feed?

Tonia Kwiatkowski

 

[Ares]

Elegant from Valesi/Bidar but somewhat slow.

 

[Jumping_Bean]

Fairly good skate for Anna and Martin, aside from the 3STh. Hopefully, her ankle feels fine once the adrenaline wears off because that landing looked a little twisty.

Also, funny that Manuel and Anna went back to back, and neither one is representing Italy anymore.

 

[Ichatdelune]

Ice resurfacing after two teams, why couldn't they adjust the schedule in time

Not Golden again

 

[FlossieH]

Ice resurface already??!!!
