Does anybody have a nongeoblocked stream to watch it? Thanks

hello! have a look at this thread http://www.goldenskate.com/forum/sh...ean-Championships-TV-Schedules-and-Webstreams
I think most of them are geo-blocked, but if you're using Chrome you can install HOLA

Kovtun will finish on the podium if he doesn't fall.

I'm rooting for Samohin. Very entertaining personality.

Depends on whether Menshov decides to break out the voodoo doll or not. :laugh:

I really, really like Javi, Sergei and Michal, you see. :yes: I think Michal's really sick of potatoes, so getting on the podium would be good for him, and I'd love for Sergei to have a repeat podium appearance because I have a soft spot for "old men" like him.

I prefer the term "silver foxes" myself.

Ava Moore · Jan 30, 2015

Hey, I like that term! Silver foxes…sounds great! :biggrin:

Wonder if your "Russian silver foxes" are all males, or also extend to females?

silverfoxes · Jan 30, 2015

Although the term is generally used for men, Yuko and Alena can be silver foxes in my book, too!

HanDomi · Jan 30, 2015

I hope we will see today this Javier finally :rolleye:

Hehe, definitely!

That's it, I'm now in love with the whole team of silver foxes.

Hope Sergei really does well here!

I know the meaning, but the animals themselves are too cute to be a symbol of old but charming men. :biggrin:

French Eurosport said that Chafik Besseghier has withdrawn, he has hurt his knee and is supposed to do the Universiade next week.

He posted a photo of his knee and a message on his Facebook page.

So it was during practice. Thank you for the translation!

Aw, is anyone out there a fan of Kovtun? It's okay to say you like him. Really.

Yes, I'm starting to really feel for him too! I'm so glad you put in a word for him. If he had had programs I liked better, I might have started to cheer for him because I felt sorry for him. Maybe next year?

In my case, I want the podium to stay the same because I like the three on there better, and I'd like all three of them to skate really, really well!

Silver vixens?

Also, thanks for the news about Chafik - really sorry to hear that, but, at least that explained his awful skate.

Just a wee reminder that the European Championships will continue in about 20 minutes with the Men's Free.

I'm going to do like yesterday and watch the official TV4 streaming link with Hola. (And have the Sportbox link open in another window as backup for whenever ads come on!)

For those that won't be watching this way, day.to has 2 links for the skating.

Here are the links:

Russian livestream 1 (currently showing Ice Hockey)

Russian livestream 2 (currently showing Ice Hockey)

Unfortunately, Eurosport's coverage does not start until 20:00 CET (19:00 GMT).

Here are some links for when it does:

Eurosport 2 International livestream

British Eurosport 2 livestream

However, at the same time, ESP1 will be showing LIVE ski jumping from Willingen. As I would only be seeing 3 skaters before tea time anyway, and it is easier to watch ski jumping over a family meal than it is to watch figure skating, I'll not bother joining the Men's FS until the ESP2 coverage starts. Plus, I still have to finish the Pairs SP.

Hopefully the videos of the early groups of the Men will appear before the morning...

Hope this helps

Good luck to Adian. He is not ready to compete because of diseases, but nevertheless he can show good skating.

Thanks for the links! And thanks to my family for FINALLY fixing our wifi, I can FINALLY watch livestreaming on my laptop with minimum buffering! :yay:

There is a Jason Brown twin warming up - Larry Loupolover

Sad to see Chafik had to WD. But why not let the 25th place skater skate in his place?
