2016 Europeans Men Free Skate

[Procrastinator]

Is this the one time you wish they talk through it all?

No, but they'd make fun of it like they vaguely have with Elena's titanic. I'm sure they'd tear it apart, as they should.

 

[Winnie_20]

Aw, the Dutch Eurosport commentators sounded so sad. No Dutch skater in the free, and a sinking Belgian Titanic.

hwell: Better luck next time.

*quickly switches back to British audio*

 

[HanDomi]

still no quad

new rule: when your music is 10% music and 90% talking, you are automatically disqualified :roll9: I know that we all want to see some art in figure skating, but that is too experimental for my taste

Yes please!

I'm sure talking can be done well as well. I could listen to Steve Blum for instance talking endlessly.

:eekn: oh boy. anyone speaking german here, who could translate "Fremdschämen" into English for me?
Sorry, but this Titanic is just... too much. Like somebody lost a bet and had to do this.
Must be very hard for Jorik to keep his focus when he sees the audience laughing at his music.

On a lighter note: AWESOME skate by Florent! So happy for him - that's the way one wants to finish a career. (loved the "2nd triple Axel ... after 2 seconds: oh wait, combo! ... 1/2Lo 2S")

From Frorent to Jorik, this EC is packed with emotion.
I really want Jorik place high just because this LP gets aired globally.

 

[Sorrento]

I'm sorry to say this but the music choices made for Alexander Petrov's SP and LP are very old fashioned. He is young, give him a modern sound and outfits!

 

[NAOTMAA]

The heart may go on but thankfully Jorik's program didn't

I almost wet myself laughing :

 

[NoNameFace]

God...Tessa and Scott's OD Tango music from 2006/07 season...Always and forever!!!

he needs to find his own style

LOL You guys have such fun words. Unlucky guess, Strange shaming?

Totally :agree: This is like the musical equivalent of granny panties. Snoresville squared.

 

[Alchamei]

It's interesting how Petrov's 3 Axel is huge, but the rest of his jump are quite small.

Also, why every skater of Mishin need to use Oblivion?

Lol, nothing that sounds as cool, but it's definitely the right word!

Solid skate, he just needs to add a bit more flair (and a quad)

FS: 77.68+75.06 = 152.74 (SB), 229.69 (SB), 3/18

His 3A is Huge indeed, But he probably will never get amazing GOE on it because of the long entry

 

[Sugarpova]

hopefully its higher than JACKKKKK

 

[Bumdid]

I don't think Petrov's gonna beat our soon to retire king Florent Amodio

 

[Sorrento]

It's one of a few melodies Mishin can stand, I suppose.:dev3:
