What's he skating to "George of the Jungle"; it looks funny.

But it looks like he did fine, saw them waving the flag of Monaco.

What did Paul Fentz do? That's a rather impressive TES.

Well Kim Lucine still hangs on to 2nd after 12 skaters, good job!

Next should be the break wherein I'm hoping & praying Kevin Van der Perren does great to close out his phenomenal career at Europeans! What a man, what a career, and what a record of representing Belgium with class, style, finesse, integrity, and above all courage & strength in the face of adversity, he should be proud!

Please, God, please let Kevin do well (likewise Brian Joubert). please...

Well... how to say this ? I'm with you when you talk about courage & strength but class, style, finesse ? I'm sorry, wearing too many times this horrendous bones outfit alone disqualified him. And that's just an exemple; the superhero one is also something that must be forbidden from competitions.
On the other hand, the second time he used Lawrence of Arabia as FS music, he wore a white and golden one very nice to watch from both sides !

 

[Nadine]

GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO KEVIN VAN DER PERREN!!!!arty:

Thirteen years competing at Europeans straight through from 1999-2012 (no break), with two Bronze Medals, becoming the first man from Belgium to capture a medal at Euros since 1947! :thumbsup: And the first man from Belgiumever to win at medal at Jr. Worlds in 2002. ^)

HERE WE GO!@!

 

[Nadine]

Oh no, Kevin withdrew due to injury.

 

[sequinsgalore]

Kevin van der Perren has just withdrawn? Am I right?

 

[machin]

Bad timing, it seems he just withdrawn...

 

[Nadine]

Okay, now Brian on the ice, GOOOOOOOOOOOO BRIAN, MAKE IT HAPPEN!!!!

 

[sequinsgalore]

CCoSp

Score: 139.91, total 207.83 and into 1st. Doesn't seem to be enough to medal...

 

[Nadine]

Brian did a fine job, just three huge step outs, one on the quad, another on the 3L, and I forge the third one. However, his pant leg came undone halfway through the performance and the we could see his naked leg up to his knee.
