2026 Europeans - Men Free Skate - “To Be Or Not To Appleby - That Is The Quadstion?”

I just can't with both Zandron's programmes being this worthy. The earth is good. War is bad. Yes, Maurizio, you're right, but it's not a very interesting artistic statement, sorry.
 
This has to be it for him Europeans-wise. I think I’ve seen him mention it’s his last season, being 33 and all. Good way go to out. Best he’s skated in a long time as far as I’ve seen it.

Mau-ri-zi-o .... what a lovely, musical name. You can play around so much with pronounciation and intonation of it. "Sally" .... not so much. :p
 
Lindfors was my revelation of the short program. It’s just so avant garde like a nod to the kooky men of the 80s or Dmitrenko in the 90s. We don’t see anything remotely similar these days.

I wish his sister would get choreographing for everyone.
come join me in my uberdom :cheer2:
 
I’m sure this has been discussed and I missed it, but why is Adam Siao Hi Fa not here?
 
LIndfors

okay TES is bad, I hope he will get there. but the rest!!

it is not onyl that he is expressive and has great choreo. He also has the ability to use his body multi-dimensional and switch from elegant to edgy
and that is especially remarkable for an 18 year old!
 
The skating skills have a long way to go. Massive even. But this entire program from start to finish was choreographed with something happening, rises and falls to the music and interesting movements. Give him big scores on the other two components.
 
Now that I've heard it I can't unhear it: the Dune music is Harmonica's theme from Once Upon a Time in the West, and now I want someone to do THAT program.
