2026 Europeans - Men Short Program - Manarchy In The UK

[Sally1214]

Egadze brought his A-game! That was awesome. Good for him.

 

[susieB129]

I didn't hate it. And as far as Egadze goes, that's a compliment.

Very solid skate for Nika. One of the best skates from a performance level we've ever seen from him.

Q 91.28 = 1st Place

 

[rfisher]

Take that haterez. That's my boy.

 

[MsZem]

Never has a skater been in more dire need of a haircut than Nika. And I include Deniss's worst in that.

 

[tony]

Yeah I’m sappy because I’m really happy for him. He respects the hell out of every other skater, watches them in the stands and cheers all of them, and he at least is trying to improve his skating rather than resorting to just doing the quads.

 

[Braulio]

the shade, the shade of it all!!

 

[tony]

Mr 4th place all the time now has a small gold medal at an ISU Championship

That's nice to hear. And he's still pretty young so lots of time to hopefully improve.

 

[rfisher]

Double take that haterez. He's a nice guy who works his ass off to succeed and it's nice to see it pay off for him.

 

[tony]

I wouldn’t care at all if the podium stayed the same three as it is now

Criteria
3) Skater is not afraid of breaking one's heart over and over again

 

[Sally1214]

91.28! Great score and he deserves it. I'm very happy for him.

We were treated to some wonderful skating in those 2 final flights (and even in the earlier flights too). A few disappointments, of course, but ..... wow ..... the men were SOOO much better than the women in the SP. Good luck to them all in the FS.

Eh, I want Rizzo on the podium because Euros really is his competition.

Criteria
3) Skater is not afraid of breaking one's heart over and over again

As I recall, he was an original TTW member way back as a junior. We saw the heart break potential early on. #nostalgia

 

[Cachoo]

Mr 4th place all the time now has a small gold medal at an ISU Championship

And he was born in Tblisi, Georgia so he is a true hometown hero. Good for him.

 

[Evgeniafan]

I wouldn’t care at all if the podium stayed the same three as it is now

I am fine with that. But I want Deniss to rise up.

 

[Kateri]

Me before the skate: the Kevin Aymoz Europeans curse is not real!!!

Me after the skate: the problem is that Kevin believes the curse is real and so manifests it.

 

[Vagabond]

Boss didn't allow Juniors on the Team, but the potential has always been there. And not just to break hearts.

 

[Nadin]

Couldn’t follow any of it live today and just seeing the scores now.
Kevin . Noooooooooo!!!

 

[terisa]

Don’t like Egadze at all. Zzzzz

Egadzzzzzzze.

 

[Skaterbob]

I wouldn’t care at all if the podium stayed the same three as it is now

Id prefer a selevko sandwich.

I think it's sweet of Kevin to make Jason Brown not feel so bad.

 

[tangerine dream]

Me before the skate: the Kevin Aymoz Europeans curse is not real!!!

Me after the skate: the problem is that Kevin believes the curse is real and so manifests it.

It truly is a self-fulfilling prophecy at this point.

 

[Aussie Willy]

WTF happened to Kevin????? 4 deductions?

ETA - just had a look at the scores. Everything negative GOE (except a spin) and he fell on the steps. Wow devastating.

 

[Matryeshka]

I was going to skip watching Euros tonight, but so glad I didn't. With the expected heartbreak of Aymoz, what a great night of skating. I know the younger Selevko is a better skater, but I'm rooting for Selevko the Elder/Emily's boyfriend. So happy for Rizzo too. And my grudging growing respect for Egadze. Great skates in every group.

 

[Vagabond]

This event made me wish that the ISU would seed skaters according to enjoyability instead of World Standings. If that would mean that Georgii Reshtenko skated a few fights after Nika Egadze, so be it.

I do think Selevko the Elder is a more complete skater but the Younger is catching up. Both are great.
