2026 Europeans - Women SP - "Welcome to Meh-field"

[Hedwig]

Loena Hendrickx
3flip fall
oh Loena

2axel nice
best spins, as always
3z3toe
good for her
that will still lead but hard to get into the medals

 

[her grace]

Unintentionally funny that right after Hendrickx fell, she crossed her arms over chest on the screen in the background, like she disappointed herself!

 

[rfisher]

I read her interview on FS gossips and it looks like she's about finished with her competitive career. She says her body has had enough.

Her best skates so far this season were at the Olympic qualifier, and those skates were solid, but not great.

-1.00 = Falls
Q 63.34 = 1st Place

 

[Colonel Green]

Well, it's Euros, she can come back in the free skate.

Also, I still find it amusing that this song is from Deadpool 2.

 

[susieB129]

How do you take such a stunning woman and give her such a generic program?

 

[Braulio]

Jorik has aged veery, veeery well

I missed Loena so had to rewind and watch. Shame about the fall to start. The rest was pretty great. Stunning dress. Hopefully, she can have a clean FS.

So many "costly" mistakes. Come on ladies .... someone please grab that gauntlet and "throw it a mile down the road."

 

[Hedwig]

Lea Serna
3toe3toe very nice
2axel good
ugh 3flip fall

it went so well, looked like she came to close to the barriers and rushed the take off

is the FRench spot for the Olympics already decided or is this a skate-off here?

 

[Karen-W]

So many "costly" mistakes. Come on ladies .... someone please grab that gauntlet and "throw it a mile down the road."

I'm betting on Karhunen doing that, but my track record today has been really spotty...

Just didn't hold the landing on the flip as strongly as she needed to, and it collapsed unfortunately.

[annie_mg]

Waiting for a clean program...come oooon someone will do it!.

 

[Karen-W]

Schild already has been named.

My cat really wants get himself among those pigeons!

 

[Elisheba]

Tonya is the least inspired commentator ever. She’s been programmed to look for URs and that all she knows or says. Certainly there’s a huge difference in presentation between Mikutina and Seniuk but all we get are rotation reports. Bah. A lot of you guys could do better.

She did say Dubinina's edges were shallow...

 

[Hedwig]

So many "costly" mistakes. Come on ladies .... someone please grab that gauntlet and "throw it a mile down the road."

a COUNTRY mile , please!

 

[Sally1214]

My cat really wants get himself among those pigeons!

Let him go get 'em! I'll cheer him on.

 

[Karen-W]

Well, Livia's made it into the penultimate group!

 

[Sally1214]

a COUNTRY mile , please!

Absolutely ..... how could I have forgotten COUNTRY!

eta: Just wondering .... is a COUNTRY mile just a tad longer than the usual mile?

 

[Karen-W]

Yeah, today, no one listen to who I'm rooting for because I've been a jinx!

 

[TAHbKA]

Of course the little Finn had to splat in front of me and do the cool spins in front of @Finnice

 

[Sally1214]

Yeah, today, no one listen to who I'm rooting for because I've been a jinx!

Happens to the best of us. But, honestly, today nobody has brought their A-game to the rink. Surely someone will, right??

[her grace]

Karhunen bringing the OES weirdness and the Finnish senior lady inconsistency

Bright future for her

 

[miffy]

I knew she was going to fall as soon as Chris suggested she could win
