2020 Budapest Trophy, Oct 15-17, Budapest, HUN

[Jeschke]

the indignity of losing that bronze at Nebelhorn to Schott last year

 

[alchemy void]

Slay Kiibus!

 

[allezfred]

It would be quicker to name the competitions ELK hasn't participated in the last two seasons....

 

[rfisher]

Eva-Lotta: reduced season? Feck that. I'm going to win me some medals.

 

[Vagabond]

A couple of shaky moments aside, Kiibus rocked the Rach.

Kiibus

2A+3T
3F+1Eu+3S
3Lz ok
3F good save
3Lz+2T
3Lo fallout hands
1A hot mess

I was going to say how much more confident she is this year, but then the second half of the program happened. Still really like this program, too, despite its detractors. It gets really good once the jumps are done.

 

[Colonel Green]

A bit messy on the jumps, but should be good enough for at least silver.

Every step sequence to a Rach 2 program is placed over the exact same point in the music, and they all pale to Mao's.

Everything pales next to Mao's Olympic skate.

Slay Leona!!

 

[Colonel Green]

We finally get to see Loena's "Fever" program!

 

[Jeschke]

Beyoncé

 

[alchemy void]

Bey Fever

 

[Jeschke]

Bey Fever!

Weinzierl says:

 

[rfisher]

Just as I start to type that Leona could have an outside chance at a medal at Europeans, she pops. But, if she's clean and one of the Russians is off her game, she could. She looks great.

 

[Jeschke]

I am no fan of Hendrickx at all but in a fair world with fair PCS judging, Hendrickx should be so in for the medal fight at Euros.
But we all know, she won't. (until RUS decides to send Konstantinova again )

 

[Jeschke]

I can see Jorik lipsyncing the entire final minute.

 

[Elisheba]

I hate this version of Fever but Loena sells it.

 

[MsZem]

I have serious doubts about the program construction and the music cuts truly call for an oy vey. But so exciting to have Loena back that I'll let it all slide

 

[alchemy void]

Hendrickx

3Lz+2T fantastic quality
2A
3F
1Lz
3F+2T+2Lo huge
2A shaky
3S great

Very solid comeback! Sold it from start to finish, although I admit "Naughty Girl" at the end left me wanting more!

 

[Colonel Green]

Weird music cuts. But whatever, she was selling that hard.

 

[Vagabond]

Pop aside, that was mightily satisfying.

Am I a bad person if I hope that Euros go ahead this season but with a travel ban on Russia?

 

[Colonel Green]

The first international win for Belgium since Jorik won Nebelhorn three years ago.

 

[MsZem]

Am I a bad person if I hope that Euros go ahead this season but with a travel ban on Russia?

Ooooooh, that would be weirdly exciting.

Making way for the real powerhouses in European ladies skating: Belgium, Estonia and Switzerland!

Yes. Yes, you are. This is my little Trusova's year to win that title.

Am I a bad person if I hope that Euros go ahead this season but with a travel ban on Russia?

I love the Russians but I wouldn't hate Euroes podiums filled with EST and TUR skaters.

 

[alchemy void]

I am no fan of Hendrickx at all but in a fair world with fair PCS judging, Hendrickx should be so in for the medal fight at Euros.
But we all know, she won't. (until RUS decides to send Konstantinova again )

This.

I am too optimistic, but scoring 200 with 4 triples in the LP is a good sign. She should be right up there with the Russians, at least enough to make them sweat a little bit

 

[MsZem]

Making way for the real powerhouses in European ladies skating: Belgium, Estonia and Switzerland!

I demand a Kostner comeback! And a performance by Eva-Lotta's brother in the gala.

 

[Vagabond]

Yes. Yes, you are. This is my little Trusova's year to win that title.
