Figure Skating in Europe

I really enjoyed Aleksandr and Lukas skating at Euros yesterday! :popcorn:

Hope Mihhail can pick himself back up and not dwell on his SP mistakes :ghug:
 
Anyone else wondering if Tim Dieck will bring back his Joker character with new partner Olivia Smart
 
The Russian Fed has released 16-year old Genrikh Gartung to Germany. Now you all probably have never heard of him, but I've watched Genrikh since he competed in Novices and just had learned all his triple jumps, so I'm mildly intrigued by this news.

For the past season Genrikh has been training in Oberstdorf with Niko Ulanovsky.
Based on his performances when he competed in Russia, he has lots of work to do in terms of artistry and expression. I would say in that department he is behind other German Juniors such as Hugo Herrmann. But Genrikh used to have a relatively consistent 3A in competition and I've seen him jump clean 4Lz in training. So if there hasn't been a significant decline in technical ability during the last year, he should be ahead technically among the German Juniors and could probably challenge Nikita Starostin once he is old enough for seniors. His technical ceiling is definitely higher than Nikita's who I doubt will ever get a quad with his Rippon jumps.
But it's too early to say for sure, first he has to deliver something in competition. I'm curious if he will get a JGP assignment for the upcoming season.

ETA: FS at Moscow City Championship, December 2022, in case anyone wants to have a look. The Flying Camel was 🙈 but jumps are solid.

It's in the fanfests, I thought about asking to have it moved to Skate of the Nations but never got around to it.

A few weeks ago when I posted in the Austrian thread about creating a Fan Fest for Polina Mozokhina, it struck me that it would make more sense if all the country threads were located in the "Skate Of The Nations" forum rather than split between it and the Team Fan Fest sub-forum.

Let's face it, the country threads that are in the Team Fan Fest sub-forum do get buried due to the Tutberidze thread being so active and always being at the top. At least if they were located here, there is more chance that people would see the threads and use them.

But then I realised that it would create problems for me in maintaining the Cyprus thread if it was moved out of the Fan Fest Forum. So, I decided to say nothing.

Aside from that, it may be for the best to keep things as they are. The whole point of Fan Fests is to have a place where you can show your support for skaters, partnerships and teams. Negativity is discouraged in the Fan Fest Forum. So if the country threads were moved here, negativity would creep in and it would change the whole dynamic of the threads.

It would be a shame if these happy places became places where arguments can happen.
