2026 European Championships Pairs Short Program

[Seven Sisters]

This is what I don't understand. Maria PAVLOVA / Alexei SVIATCHENKO (HUN) are skating to "Earth Song"... and wearing red?!

Why not wear costumes in the colours of the planet? I seem to remember somebody else doing that. Or failing that, black costumes like Michael Jackson is wearing in the video?

Because the planet is going down in flames. That’s my reading of it, anyway

 

[Karoltyna]

also Luka looks like De Niro in Taxi Driver

you mean creating the impression that last time he showered was last week and it's Friday?

ohhhh, I'm nervous again...

 

[Seven Sisters]

I gasped out loud!!

Minerva—we cannot make mistakes like this

ETA: spin synch way off too

 

[CaroLiza_fan]

If she really were there she would smile now.

She was there, and she didn't. (Or, should I say, couldn't...)

Oof, for a second, I thought Minerva was going to slip like Emily did at US Nats.

 

[EdgeCall]

Great skate but the hand down could turn out costly.

 

[FlossieH]

Nice from Hase and Volodin, but I think that hand down could be very costly.

 

[Ichatdelune]

Not perfect but Minerva ahhhhhhh

There was this lady a few rows down that had to stand up and move out of her seat during Miniki's death spiral and I had to CRANK my head to see it, god why is the audience around me this awful

 

[flanker]

Hase/Volodin good but IMO they should be third, there were several moments of insecurity plus bad solo jump.

 

[sissy7]

Well such a shame, I love this SP...unlike the FS

 

[Sabine]

I would have had P/S first, M/B second and H/V third after this SP

 

[elektra blue]

you mean creating the impression that last time he showered was last week and it's Friday?

ohhhh, I'm nervous again...

i mean he really looks like De Niro

 

[4everchan]

I wonder how volodin looks like with his hair not gelled down

 

[4everchan]

I would have had P/S first, M/B second and H/V third after this SP

me too.... mb and hv, very tightly scored though and the Hungarians a couple points ahead.

 

[Ichatdelune]

Did she? I thought she narrowly avoided it.

Yes she did, I saw her blade touch the ice

 

[Seven Sisters]

When they are on, they are ON, except the lift...Luka is really not giving me confidence as someone who lifts a whole human above is head

Completely agree. There is something about him that always makes me nervous.
That she does not show even the slightest indication of nerves makes me even more impressed with her

 

[bartlebooth]

Franca Bianconi Is gushing about Miniki's death spiral.

 

[flanker]

Second, but Hungarians were definitely better today.

 

[sissy7]

I am suprised they are not third...

 

[Karoltyna]

Ok, and now hurry, I need to drive home for the girls
