Thirty years after Katarina Witt another "free skate of the century". We should tell our kids because maybe we have to wait another thirty years for the next olympic gold medal.

Yes, but each sport has its fan base. The general public is not much interested either in handball, volleyball, swimming, cycling, rugby, judo, .. But all these sports exists in Germany.

No, I would not agree with that. Ice shows where Aliona & Bruno appear are sold out weeks ahead, and if 3000 people are ready to pay these ticket prices to see them skate you cannot say the nation does not care. Also, see the ticket prices for the German nationals: they compare with first...

Side note from Grenoble: Nicole Schott is at #10 after SP with 55.54 pts. (but really worse is that Liza is still behind her with only 53 pts -- things went really bad for her today) :confused:

Yes. Another test would be possible from legal point of view, but too late to get the citizenship in time. Poor Aliona. Don't want to think that she never makes it to the throne because always her men fail.

Good to see Kristina back. Seems she got over with her injury. :respec: And Sofia Barnova already got her release from the Czech fed. (or is this not necessary for the nationals?) As for the dance competition: This is what makes it worth to buy a ticket. Slay, Jennifer and Benjamin! :cheer2:

This is so sad ..

She returned to singles already before the season really started. Her partner (Ivan Aldinger) decided to quit competitive skating. (though I don't know which of these is cause and which is effect)

The olympic dreams of a whole nation rest on a few sheets of paper. Tomorrow Bruno is taking his language test. Let's collectively keep our fingers crossed and wish him for tomorrow a good sense for accusative, conditional and passive clauses. (And no, dear fans of Fabienne and Nolan, don't...

Nina Mozer not only once mentioned that she's thinking of retiring as a coach after the OWG. Or at least taking herself out of the immediate work with the athletes. (https://matchtv.ru/figure-skating/matchtvnews_NI792294_Nina_Mozer_priostanovit_trenerskuju_dejatelnost_posle_OI_2018) This means...

Liza is ahead of Sotskova and Kostner in Espoo after SP. Just to mention that. :cheer2:

Saw him in Oberstdorf .. he was taking choreo lessons with Frank Dehne .. I put a spell on you .. will we see that in Minsk?

Paul Fentz is keeping up well with the others in the jumping contest (Kolyada, Jin, Rippon, Zhou). Rank 4 after SP with 77.64pts, and his 3A apparently pleased the judges. :respec:

Presumably, there is a second hand market for these in Oberstdorf ... :)

Please do not talk down Kristina Isaev right now. She was injured (according to my information) and will return and only stronger. Consider: - she is still unknown to international judges - she has a PB of 108 pts - she's just 16
