2025 European Championships Women's Free Skate

Nastya looks rather disappointed, but I'm actually stunned they let her on the podium at all!

I was fully expecting a Sofia Samodurova situation where inexplicably the winner of Euros suddenly became the worst skater ever in a season and was hammered until she broke (I'm still sad for Sofia if you can't tell).

Congrats to Niina, Nastya and Nina!
 
placement under 24 give 18 points, so another one placing 10th or higher gives two spots (<10+18=<28. )even if the other one does not make it to the free.
 
Is Inga "difficult surnname to type" age eligible next season to represent Georgia? Edit, I checked: no. Anyone else?
 
Looking at the score sheet for Petrokina is insane. Six 3's and one 4 for that rough opening combo while Nastya had a great 3-3 opening combo and got a couple of 1's.

If we use how they judged Pinzaronne as the benchmark, then Petrokina's first 3F was a q, the 3Lz and 3S in the euler were both a q with the 3S a possible underrotation, then the 3F at the end is at the very least also on the q.

It didn't change the result because I think 130 is about Nastya's absolute maximum, but I felt like when you contrast how they picked apart Pinzaronne then two skaters later they are giving 3's and 4's for an ordinary combo and overlooking a minimum of 4 clear q's, then you have to say the officials either had an agenda :shrug: or simply not competent and too easily manipulated by what's happening around with crowd noise, emotion, story of the home town hero, etc.

Not to take anything away from Petrokina because she is the deserved winner, but she didn't need the judges trying to take it 100% out of Gubanova's hands (or pick apart Pinzaronne).
