Grassl
4z three turn 3toe
4l
3axel very good
this is one program that I actually like from Grassl
not up to the Selevko performance ability but well skated to the music

Daniel Grassl
Coach: Edoardo De Bernardis
Music: Tango per la liberata (soundtrack)

4Lzq+3Tq - 3-turns between jumps
4Lo<
3A
Flying Sit Spin 4
Step Sequence 3
Change Foot Camel Spin 4
Change Foot Combo Spin 3

The prohibitive favourite for the title with an error on the opening combination. Let's see what the technical panel does with the rotation on the jumps.

Q 84.82 = 3rd Place

 

[susieB129]

Sure. Fine. OK. Whatever.

 

[Karen-W]

Well, that should give Grassl the lead.

ETA - apparently, the tech panel today decided to give Daniel several q's...

 

[Sally1214]

Daniel did a really good job today but my hips ALWAYS hurt after his spin positions .... how does he DO that? I agree with Chris that "I'd never walk again if I did that!" Marks are going down apparently but he'll be okay.

 

[Aceon6]

where is Shin Amano when we need him?

Here in spirit

 

[PRlady]

Holy shit they really dinged him.

 

[Karen-W]

Ouch! 84.82 - really went to town. And that puts Elder SelevBro into the final group on Saturday!

 

[floridaice]

they are crammed on that sofa

 

[Sally1214]

they are crammed on that sofa

It really is ridiculous.

 

[Vagabond]

I hate the suspenseful music that the ISU is playing this season before scores are announced.

 

[Karen-W]

YES!!!!! Clean for Matteo!!!!! Euros really is his competition!

 

[Sally1214]

Wow, Rizzo made that 3axel look like a double ...... smoooooth.

Started at Worlds . US Nationals also ‘stole’ it. I like it.

 

[susieB129]

Matteoooooooooooooooooo!

 

[Citlali]

Matteo

 

[Hanna]

Rizzo music

 

[Hedwig]

Rizzo
Breath
I really want this for him but he has not looked so sharp this season...
4toe good!!
3z3toe real quality
3a

It would be ironic if Memola and Rizzo ended up in front of Grassl at the end of the CHampionships but he is still being sent (of course he would be, they already committed to that)

 

[Sally1214]

NAILED IT!! Way to go, Matteo.

 

[Andrey aka Pushkin]

The battle royale of the Italians
And I'm actually cheering for Gabrielle...

 

[Braulio]

Matteo!!! andiamoo!

 

[PRlady]

 

[JoannaLouise]

Matteo!!

Memola might technically have the higher scoring potential with his multiple quads, but Matteo is my favourite for the Olympic spot.

 

[Karen-W]

It would be ironic if Memola and Rizzo ended up in front of Grassl at the end of the CHampionships but he is still being sent (of course he would be, they already committed to that)

Well, to be honest, Grassl earned his spot during the fall and I'm fine with him going to the Olympics as a result.

 

[BittyBug]

Rizzo was ON - well done. (But please get new pants.)

Matteo Rizzo
Coach: Deborah Sacchi, Ondrej Hotarek. V. Rizzo
Music: Silverlines by David Damiano

4T
3Lz+3T
3A
Change Foot Combo Spin 3
Step Sequence 3
Change Foot Camel Spin 3
Flying Sit Spin 4

Very emotional to from Rizzo to be back on the ice at a European Championships after last year when it wasn't clear how the surgery was going to go.

Q 88.00 = 3rd Place

 

[rfisher]

Excellent skate by Rizzo. Once upon a time we thought he'd never land the quad. Sniff. He's all grown up.

 

[Andrey aka Pushkin]

I wouldn't mind having los Selevkos 1 and 2 after the short

 

[floridaice]

I hope Nikolaj has recovered from his injury -- wish he and Rizzo could both be on the Olympic team

 

[Karen-W]

Wow - behind both the SelevBros! I'd have given that 90 and the lead!
