2019 Europeans Men's Free Skate

[newyn]

Very nice performance from the young Austrian!

 

[Noxchild]

luc is all gangly awkward legs, and the sly cheesy jazzman thing tends to work only if you're a little older (let keegan try a jazz routine next season!) but good effort

 

[norwegianfairytale]

I hope he can make it! What is World's TES?

64.

With the lyrics about watching babies grow, I was thinking, "But you are still a baby!"

 

[kevinVchicago]

That was a really strange program.

66 if last season or 64 if this season

I really liked Ivan's programme. If he can land the elements it will be very impressive. He's talented. Ukraine desperately need some good skaters at the moment. They're really struggling at the moment

 

[kevinVchicago]

Lots of falls and singing along with that pop opera song. At one point, I thought that Ivan had just stopped performing. Then he went to the audience and raised his arms. Then I started to fall asleep.

Ooo I like Sondre's costume!

And his hair style is so cute

 

[anonymoose_au]

Wow this is good! You go Sondre, land those jumps!

Russian Split!

Although what's with the music this group, it's either weird militaristic stuff or Italian arias...

Sondre is looking really good. Nice work. But this program also makes me fall asleep. At first I thought he was wearing a traditional Norwegian costume, but then he was skating to Les Miserables. So, I was confused.

 

[gonewiththewind25]

He looks so happy!

Good performance but I can't bear the music - hate Les Miserables. The name says it all

 

[kevinVchicago]

Great expression at the end.

 

[satine]

It just started snowing in my neck of the woods. Morning, ya'll

See this just shows how poor my music sense is...I though that was Italian

Hey Matyas! Good luck!

MORIS! GO MORIS! I still love you!

 

[kevinVchicago]

Vas-y Adam!

Just wanted to mention that it is -20 Celsius here!

 

[Chris Cooper]

Graham still leading on the free- he'll be rue-ing those mistakes in the short.

The other significant thing about him qualifying for Worlds is that his coach and Dad represented GB at the 1989 Worlds in Paris, so it would be great for him to make it exactly 30 years later. It wouldn't be his first Worlds but nice to celebrate an anniversary
