2024 European Championships Men's Short Program

[Baron Vladimir]

Well, it was promising when i started to watch, but with that last group the competition ended like a desert full of cactus and no drink See ya all tomorrow

Matteo has to undergo surgery after Euros

 

[yuumagical]

I appreciate the rink DJ playing "Beggin'" after Matteo's skate. XD

 

[Dreamer57]

Like, I do not want to be that person, but maybe the French Federation should not have assigned Kevin to Euros? And especially not both Euros and Worlds, they should have sent him to Challenge Cup or Bavarian Open, something low stakes and low pressure, because this is not it.

I don't know what's going on with him, and I'm not sure how to help him, but this is the third competition in a row ending in disaster.

Yes, the two comps in a row should have been a big hint to the french fed.
Kevin must have mentally hurt after the pop on his first jump today.
(I feel that Francois deserved a shot at Euros, but I am glad he has junior assignments to focus on)

Matteo has to undergo surgery after Euros

What?

 

[FlossieH]

I know it's only the SP, but my predictions are toast.

So are mine. I had Adam 1st and Lukas 2nd. I expected someone unexpected to do well and dithered about who. Didn't expect it to be A Selevko!

Aleksandr finishing 3rd after short program, another first for Estonia, I may faint

 

[FlossieH]

What?

Yes, he missed Italian nationals because he wasn't going to manage both that and Euros.

 

[YuBluByMe]

That was a mixed bag of a competition.

 

[EdgeCall]

The men spared us a fall fest and gave us a pop party instead. Overall good event but for Euros I hoped for a little more.

 

[Dreamer57]

I am happy for my predictions to be muddled if Sasha ends up top 5!

 

[bartlebooth]

What?

Hip surgery. Probably the 4 loop was too taxing. He's competing here and then taking the rest of the season off.

 

[Jumping_Bean]

What?

Hip injury:

Adam SHF I had first....actually now that I'm looking back, I had A Selevko in 5th and Deniss in 4th. Matteo in 3rd....and Aymoz in 2nd.

 

[Idiote]

Well I'm even more depressed now. I'm still thrilled for Adam and Lukas, and also for monsieur Selevko ; but I really hope Kévin figures things out, however long it takes See you all tomorrow !

Gurl there is still the Free and this is men skating, anything can happen.

Well almost anything, Aymoz is sure done for.

Oh we'll get his SP uploaded to YT for top 6! I'm happy to get to watch it as I missed it still being at work.

 

[FlossieH]

For fairness' sake towards the other French guys, he should not. I know Kevin is very popular and has a high scoring ceiling, but realistically speaking if any other skater had skated like he did at Nationals, they wouldn't even have been at Euros, much less be assigned to Euros and Worlds.

I agree that someone else should get the World's spot. I realise that might sound harsh. Kevin's GP final and nationals performances weren't just blips. There is something wrong and he needs to take a break and sort himself out.

The loop is a hip killer. So sad about that because I think the loop jump is the prettiest.

He may not get Worlds now, it will depend on Luc here in the free and Pitot at Junior Worlds. I love Kevin, but he has been competing for a long time, and taking half a season off should be okay.
