Daniel won silver at the Golden Spin of Zagreb. His total score was only 226.12 thanks to another bad LP (he was actually 7th in the free, lol), but it was enough for the podium at this competition.

SP

LP

His teammate Bychenko won the gold by less than 2 points. Great pic of the two of them:

And a nice pic of Daniel and his father:

Israeli Nationals are in just a few days - Dec. 14/15. In the past it's been difficult to find info about this competition, but I'll see what I can find. It could easily go either way. Alexei and Daniel both seem like lovely guys who support each other, which is great. :)

It would be great if whoever will go to Worlds, finish in top10 to get two spots for Olympics!

The hosts start out talking in Hebrew while the guys just look confused. :laugh: They do switch to English after a couple minutes, but it was pretty funny.

Good luck to both of them tomorrow!

Does anyone have a stream for the Israeli Nationals?
I cannot find any information and I would love to see Daniel skate.
He is so young and entertaining and I enjoy him no matter what how he jumps.

I don't remember ever seeing a video from Israeli Nationals, unfortunately. Maybe if we're lucky, a fan will record them.

edit - it seems someone from FSO is at the competition, and according to their report, Daniel leads after the SP with a score of 90.80...nice! He landed 4T-3T, 4S, and 3A. Bychenko is 2nd with 80.47 - I guess he popped his quad. Well, we'll see if Daniel can manage a good free program tomorrow.

Thank you for the information. Please keep us posted if you find any news about the free skate.

If I understand Google Translate right, according to FSO it seems Daniel ended up winning by around 20 points. No more information was given and I see no confirmation on Facebook, Twitter, etc. so take it with a grain of salt. I don't know why it's so difficult to get details about this competition...it's not as if they don't have internet access there! Absolute Skating did post some pics and said "more coverage coming soon," so I guess we will have to be patient.

Congratulations to Daniel! That SP sure sounds impressive! Apparently, the LP was good too if he widened the gap with Alexei by 10 more points.

(I do feel sorry for Alexey, though. I wish they could both go to Worlds!)

Silverfoxes, thank you so much for the information!

Daniel has lost his luggage :drama: including his skates! But Michal Brezina is kind enough to help him out.

@JohnWilsonBlade hey you guys r you able to get revolution blades to Ostrava for Daniel samohin his Luggage got lost so he has no skates

John Wilson is trying to express ship the blades he need in time for the LP, and Michal's father has a quarter size larger that Daniel can use for the SP. Poor Daniel - I wonder about his costumes...I'm so nervous for him now!

On a happier note, here's a sweet interview with Daniel and Alexei Bychenko from Israeli Nationals. I love their relationship :) Good luck to them both!

I feel SO gutted for Daniel. I blame the airline for this. After seeing the jumps get botched and the TES score, I got scared...And unfortunately I was right to be scared...poor Daniel. But huge guts for him for trying his best out there.

Poor Daniel! :(
But he was trying to fight till the end.
It's so terrible because it wasn't even his fault! And sadly Israeli Federation probably won't give him place at Worlds

I'm really not sure what the Israeli fed's criteria are to determine who to send. Daniel won Nationals by around 20 points, but Alexei has been doing pretty well this season & has more senior experience. I guess Daniel could do Junior Worlds one last time and send Alexei to senior Worlds. The pressure will be on to win 2 spots for the Olympics...I so hope they can both go!

I literally wrote a rant on twitter on how mad I am at the airline for losing Daniel's luggage that includes his skates. Yeah.
