2014 Nebelhorn Trophy

[snowflake]

Oh geez! I was really looking forward to seeing Denis' programs.

Me too... so sorry for him. I watched Kavaguti/Smirnov on demand. K/S = quality skating So happy for them to be able to come back like this. Also watched Robin's comeback

I'm Pistache Rose, but I'm very sorry I had no idea someone would want to watch ice dance and I arrive late so I thought that it would be useless to record them!

I had trouble with my camera all day and I erase Grenier/Deschamps by mistake so I only have those 4 and a bit of Jason at the end of the practice.

I'll try to do better tomorrow morning if they don't show practice

Thanks for posting the videos that you did. I just watched one on your channel.

Thank you again Alex D! I was a bit surprised H/B were scored as they were, but then again I'm a fan and one of those with high expectations. I'm sure their PCS marks were really hurt by her fall.

Men's SP is starting now, right? Too bad I have patients to see at work...I know what I'm doing as soon as I get home!

Solid enough skate, but he uses too much time to set up jumps, meaning empty choreography

[Eclair]

Great music choice by Michael Brezina! Is that from Games of Thrones?
Choreography - nothing special, but ok
jumps - step out of 4sal

 

[silverfoxes]

I love Michal's costume.

 

[Meoima]

Denis Ten has just withdrawn. I wonder why, maybe he's injured?

 

[TMC]

Great music choice by Michael Brezina! Is that from Games of Thrones?

Yes

Haha Balde's program is one worth watching! So much positiv energy and great charisma to the music: I feel good

 

[TMC]

Such a wonderful program

 

[Krunchii]

Ten has the stomach flu.

I'm sorry to hear, I really wanted to see his LP

and Jason looks good in suspenders, his outfit really suits him =)

 

[Eclair]

Jason Brown:
good flow, good ss and nice sit spin with illusion spin For me Balde was a bit more musical and had better choreography, but solid clean skate from Jason

 

[sequinsgalore]

Music: Juke by Little Walters

3A - ok, bit telegraphed

Decent skate, but not quite (yet) my taste of choreo, but he sells it.

SP: 43.50/40.09 = 83.59, 1st (out 4)

I loved Balde's, it was so entertaining to watch
