Helgesson lands 3loop. Sport 2 commentator says: 'The jump Irina Slutskaya missed in her Turino FS.' How bloody random is that?! Just SHUT UP!

Good skate from Helgesson, the style worked for her. Some cheats on the triple jumps though.

Joshi Helgesson looks like the UK actress Ramola Garai. I don't know why she wears such ridiculous outfits which don't match her music at all. This one looks like she should be skating to punk rock or something...

:confused: It was perfectly suited to the music. It was a Xena inspired costume.

Does Elene's 0A - 1A count as a jump sequence?

:laugh::bang: you should join us and watch the German feed :)
I'm shocked it isn't geoblocked, since in Germany, they don't let us watch anything, not even music videos or skates on youtube because of some obscure music rights...
I'll consider filing a complaint that you guys get to see it if you're not extra-nice! ;)
Speaking of which: Nathalie Weinzierl will be skating next - I'm hoping for some extra crossed fingers ;)

The norwegian commentators are saying how the swedish comitee told Viktoria before euro champs that she was going to Sochi, so that she wouldnt have much pressure on her during euro champs, and instead of doing that to Anne Line they even but more pressure on her. They are saying that she has been presenting well overall, and should be send, theyre seem pretty uppset about it to... :/

Really :mad:, that a bit unfair though, European would be a good place to decide. Viktoria is quite inconsistent.

I would hate to see her lose out to her younger sister, because Joshi will have a chance in 2018, and Viktoria did have a top-10 worlds placement a few years back.. plus a GP medal, IIRC.

V Helgesson has had an absolutely terrible season so far. Not a single good competition. It is extremely unfair that Joshi isn't being sent to the Olympics. :(
