2026 European Championships Men's Free Skate

[maofan]

The pressure of securing 2 spots for the French men got the best of Francois, I think!

 

[Sabsi]

Sadly it wasn't the skate he wanted. I really like his free skate. And that Eleanor Rigby cover in the Beatles mix is just so good.

@elektra blue you jinxed my son and his little French pirate earring so now I want 50% of the profits from you selling your liver to @4everchan as repayment

Francois is being french today? That was really messy. But, he did make an effort to rotate the jumps. The plus rep will hurt but he didn't pop.

Those tilted jumps are so French. Why do so many French skaters have that tilt on the jumps?

ah...cactus gallica

your loss, my liver is worth sh*t

Francois. Good outfit and a great program. Too much pressure on him, but still a decent skate.

 

[4everchan]

Oh well... since France won't have enough spots next year for Euros, I will keep François on the terrasse from xmas to spring break. Frangi seems to appreciate it so I am sure François will enjoy it too. The jasmine is blooming now. So nice.

That was bad...

I don't think there's any chance of France keeping three spots from that. And I don't think it's Pitot's fault. He came in as a replacement for Adam SHF and he doesn't really have that much experience of major senior events.

I paid nothing for it. it was offered in good will... but then she didn't respond when I tagged her... so it's all yours LOL

 

[Jontor]

Pitot weirdly consistent huh? I think someone (@elektra blue) just jinxed him

 

[FlossieH]

Chris - he had three falls on jumps, and it's a 2 point deduction for the third fall.

Just suffered Kevinization.

 

[Sabsi]

So only 1 spot for french men & women next year
Desaster Europeans so far for france

Oh no, I'm allergic to Beatles covers....

Unless it is Joe Cocker's cover of "With a Little Help From My Friends" (amazed Francois didn't include it, given that Joe is from Sheffield), so am I.

But don't worry, there are some real Beatles in there too.

Francois PITOT (FRA) was wearing a black jacket, black gingerless gloves, and black trousers.

Oh dear. This has not been a good event for the French Men.

He goes into 9th position in the FS, and 4th positio overall.

He's gutted.

[4everchan]

I will invite François's coach to the Terrasse too... or maybe I will invite him to the Cottage... IYKYK

 

[Jeanie19]

Why a -6?
