2016 Europeans Men Free Skate

: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") ;)

One of those fantastic German words! A similar expression in English would be secondhand embarrassment.
 
LOL You guys have such fun words. Unlucky guess, Strange shaming?

The meaning is more "feeling ashamed for him from a distance"... I feel shame FOR him... It's a tough concept ;)

#Fremdschämen #Titanic #Jaaackkk!
 
spins need to be judged with the same stringency as jumps and don't seem to be imo.

Hm I see, so English doesn't have that expression? I guess myötähäpeä is the Finnish one.

Haha! :D A difficult word and a very German feeling, I think.

The feeling of shame for someone else, who did something embarressing, said the dic.

But I have it more for Kovtun than for Jorik.
