2016 Europeans Ladies Free Skate

[chepe]

Poor thing, Viveca looked really nervous starting to me, and she's clearly very disappointed with herself. But I still loved her program! The angst of it kind of worked with the music for me, lol, I was rooting for her even more. She still has time to develop, thankfully. And her dad (I assume that was her dad) with that enthusiastic flag waving made it for me.

Viveca's got a good head on her shoulders, good jumps, maybe a bit slow (which for some reason is common for Finnish skaters), very flexible, however she needs to work her presentation. Also, 'Evita' for 16y girl? It was so heavy and overwrought...she needs something light and airy.
Anyway, it was certainly very good debut.

Better than the ones in Jorik's FP.

I bet you never thought you would be saying that

Evidently the Eurosport stream I'm using is a clear 2-minutes behind the actual live feed. :sad21: No commentary it is, then.

Radionova is just grinding through her jumps.

The German Eurosport I pay for advertised this but not showing. The pirated link someone posted here of UK Europsort working great :curse:

Hint: you can log into British Eurosport via UK proxy and watch their program too.

Elena is on!

 

[rollerblade]

Lena's opening combo is always too close to the boards.

My Heart Will NOT Go On, with the muzak version of "My Heart Will Go On" + Voice Overs. I hope I run into an iceberg.

I actually like Elena's new dress. This black/white combo looks interesting.

 

[snowflake]

Isn’t she just fantastic… salways making me happy with her performances - dont know how to express my admiration :luv17:

 

[Sugarpova]

[chepe]

This is second 'Titanic' for me today (watched the men's free today) so this is not sinking for me.
(ho, ho)

 

[Mrs. P]

I also like the new dress. I feel it's a nice homage to that one fancy dress Kate Winslet wears in the movie.

Does anyone know if Sarah Hecken is still competing?

She quit last year.
