2019 Europeans Men's Free Skate

It's a Dracula program, but apparently a Dracula Who Dribbles on His Nice Clean White Shirt.

This immediately made me think of the movie What We Do In the Shadows, which is a...special movie about vampires. A comedy.

If I were Silvia Fontana and John Zimmermann I would take some holidays after the Euros. They have students in three disciplines!

No holidays in figure skating until April!

I still wish Kevin Aymoz to get on the podium

Misha is a great Carmen. He goes with so much drama. And Alina does too!

I agree that Kolyada is a great Toreador, I really want to see it skated clean. But I also want Javi to win...

Really? I always thought the loop to be the easiest to recognise because of its telegraphing. Many skaters seem to do a series of circles, building momentum, before launching into it.

I know the loop can really eff up your hips though but we’re off topic now.

But its easier to gain momentum specifically for a quad with skating in one line than to do a series of circles before the jump. 4 Lutz without a long glide will be harder for example. That's why many senior skaters and Russian juniors are doing 4Lutz with a long glide before it rather than 4Loop.

That would be great, but also, very hard to do.

 

[DSQ]

Okay Kolyada just go out their and skate with passion. I can’t ask for anything more.

Fair point.

:thumbsup:

I do have a sentimental side so I really want Javi to win.

But Kolyada really is one of the few male Carmen programs that I've thoroughly enjoyed.

Don’t jinx it!

 

[LadyB]

This is killing me, so many skaters I support for so many reasons.
Max, love your onesie!! Bring it!
Misha, all the best!
But most of all, a great farewell to Javi!!! Hit it baby, one more time!

 

[Anni234]

Bring us your best Carmen Maxim!!

 

[cathlen]

Kovtun is brings out his inner Brezina...

 

[tabsy]

Oh no that was a really unfortunate pop right on the music build up :hopelessness:

 

[DSQ]

Don’t give up yet.

 

[anonymoose_au]

This cut of Carmen is weird.

But then I hold Plushy as my gold standard in Carmen... That was good times.

 

[Anni234]

ah боже мой

 

[Baron Vladimir]

Kovtun is bombing again :noshake:

 

[Ichatdelune]

Did Daniil G and Maxim Kovtun's choreographer use the same cut??

Well it's not going well...
