Do you drink again? Welcome!

I got a belated xmas present from students... I am back to sober beer and kombucha as of this morning.

Well, underwhelmed by many programs, and if anyone was underscored here it's Mikutina again. Apart from speed she hits all the bullet points in PCS as far as I can see, but she's not getting the reward for it.

But overall I think this was a strong women's event, overall better than the men's, which I did not expect. Plus some newer contenders for the future.

Do you drink again? Welcome!

I'd literally be wiped out if I were to drink a shot of vodka whenever some lady popped a jump today. Maybe even taking a sip of beer would do with those.

Seriously Ninas TES was almost 75 before the review and down to 68.40, some hell of some q they found... Waiting for the protocols!

Protocols are up now

Looking pretty for the whole 4 minutes is sometimes more than enough, believe me

Yeah you are right
somebody like me cannot achieve this even for 1 second

Somebody really needs to tell Chris that Nina's Dad is Italian, and hence he should be pronouncing the "e" at the end of her surname.

Because the way he is pronouncing it is really grating in my ears.

I dread to imagine what it is doing to your ears, @elektra blue.

One thing we do not much talk about and it may be a little bit embarrasing for some to talk abuot it, but somedays when female skater says "I am just having a bad day", I think it the feminine troubles make surprises when not supposed to. In skating it could have quite affection. For some reason I had that feeling about Nella, as she was just drinking water and doing nothing else at the warm up. Usually athletes do not want to talk about it and if some do, they are not threatened kindly in public opinions.

Looking pretty is what I crave! And certainly Nastya knows how to do ''looking pretty'' programs properly.

I actually really like her short program, but I fear she will never do anything like this again, because she never really got good scores for this. Maybe no one else likes it besides me

I think they need to change the National anthem of Belgium for something a bit more... clubby

3 spots BEL SUI
2 spots GEO FRA ITA AUT and (barely) FIN

ROU makes the top 10 but has another skater in 33rd

ROU gets 2, top 10 is enough. 18 + 10 = 28

Thanks! You are so clinically fast and accurate

It's Caruso sung by Lara Fabian, you just cannot get a good program out of that combination

I'm a fan of Gubanova but reading that legit made me LOL and spit out my coffee. I also have enough of Lara Fabian.

period is still considered a taboo sadly. i'm so against it. it's just a natural condition of being a human being. would you be imbarassed of having a flu? and yet it's even more natural than a disease, but i has so much cultural bias attached that people find difficult to freely talk about it, like it's something that needs to be kept hidden.

I really have to stop with this stupid mistakes, I believed that you got more points if you didn't make the FP
I apologize again, and all the better for Romanian girls!

 

[norwegianfairytale]

I´m so glad Loena finally got that Euros gold!!

Does Romania have a second lady with the TES? I genuinely don't know

I totally agree, but I think that actually most female figure skaters do not have such a problem with that topic because due to the hard training (and restricted diet) many will not have their period or at least not a strong one. Others will choose a micro pill that basically prevents it. However that of course makes the topic harder to talk about for those athletes who have a normal period because I suspect they will be the minority.
