2016 Europeans Men Free Skate

[Mista Ekko]

Too bad, Israelis had a good shot at 3 spots and or Medal but seems to be vanishing...

 

[Winnie_20]

the closest I get without an explanation would probably be "second-hand embarrassment"

Oh, I get it. We have the same expression in Dutch, "plaatsvervangende schaamte". ("place replaced / alternate shame")

 

[ArcticMonkeys]

I hope Amondio will medal :luv17:

 

[Sorrento]

Too bad, Israelis had a good shot at 3 spots and or Medal but seems to be vanishing...

Now I feel bad for all those Americans, Russians and possibly Japanese who could convert.

 

[lost3iron]

Is really Bychenko's SB so low?

 

[Alchamei]

Not entirely, still hope.

 

[Sugarpova]

I hope Amondio will medal :luv17:

me too

Why don't people bring up Majorov or Gracie's racist stuff every time they skate?

yep we watch skating after all
no one's perfect

 

[Procrastinator]

Bychenko getting it done! For me, the first watchable skate of the day.

 

[Ekm]

Why don't people bring up Majorov or Gracie's racist stuff every time they skate?

Just because others also say/do things that are offensive shouldn't give someone else a pass on their deplorable behavior.

 

[Bumdid]

Bombed his two GPs

 

[bartlebooth]

I know about Gracie, but what did Majorov say?

Majorov used homophobic and racial slurs against his Federation on social media in the past. I used to dislike him for this, but his recent family events made me forgive him and root for him.

 

[invisiblespiral]

Yay!

I feel like this year is turning out significantly better than last year, competition-wise.

OK Alex! U go man but you dont retire & can still win medals

TAT - dont touch Amodio

 

[silverfoxes]

Just because others also say/do things that are offensive shouldn't give someone else a pass on their deplorable behavior.

The point is that some teenage stupid behavior that hasn't been repeated doesn't need to be dragged out 10,000 times every time they're on screen...anyway, it only happens to Kovtun for some reason. People do grow up.

 

[Alchamei]

First place! Israel gets three spots!

 

[cheerknithanson]

First place! Israel gets three spots!

Even better I hope he medals!

 

[MIM]

WOW!! Alexei did it again!!
His 3A has a beautiful flow and speed. The slow section with wind instruments are different from any other cuts form Les Mis. The 3Lz-1lo-3S right after the STSQ was marvelous and timing perfect! WOW , WOw, WOW,,,

 

[Ekm]

Nice skate! Seems like Alexei might come from the Denis Ten late season skater mold.

 

[Lota]

My problem is that I want everyone to do well, but I also want Florent to medal, and these conditions do not go together well
