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

[Matryeshka]

I don't care how old Deniss is. There must be ONE quadless journeyman and Deniss CANNOT retire until he is found. These are the rules. I don't make them, but we all must play by them.

 

[miffy]

Marsak very happy he can leave the chair now

 

[rfisher]

Maybe Michal will teach him his big sweeping moves across the ice. Sometime.

 

[her grace]

Frankly, I hope they both retire...

I have an entire list . . .

 

[Braulio]

70.63 components, more like 36.07

Sanchez, or since we’re at Euros, Lindfors.

Kuperman showing some good fight and actual presentation after the Czech skater

 

[Hedwig]

Tamir Kuperman

wonderful 4toe
4sal good as well
3z
4toe2toe
where did Tamir came from???
Never noticed him before this season
3a
3l bit scratchy
3f2a three turn 2a
what a debut!!

 

[Andrey aka Pushkin]

WOW
I haven't been less embarrassed since 2013!

 

[tony]

4S<
Steps level 2

Definitely top 10, two spots for Israel

 

[peibeck]

I'm glad Kuperman didn't choose emo music, but I don't think he's really Nureyev quality though.

 

[Braulio]

Not very into Kuperman today but he had a great competition overall in Sheffield and European Champs debut

 

[kirkbiggestfan]

The jump clinic just started. At least we have background music.

 

[Hedwig]

ALso, I want to marry EACH AND EVERYONE of the judges.

Reshtenko with lower PCS than Lindfors? How many judging panels would have the BALLS to do that?

The PCS for Reshtenko are laughable high but at least they did not automatically go with him because QUADS

 

[Karen-W]

That was blandly pleasant from Kuperman. The issues on his last two jumping passes will probably keep him behind Reshtenko.

 

[barbk]

137 to 150 is a huge leap in SB score for Kuperman!

Tamir Kuperman

He had some hints of brilliance on the JGP: 2 4th places in 2024.

 

[peibeck]

Has Kuperman always competed for Israel? I see he trains in New Jersey?

 

[MsZem]

Kuperman was shockingly good, especially given his age/background/coaching team.

 

[Sally1214]

Reshtenko and Kuperman both giving very impressive performances to wind up this pentultimate group. Technical ability so strong and, of course, the presentation for both will get better with time. Two very happy K/C reactions .... makes me smile. Good for them.

 

[BittyBug]

Kuperman has been a nice surprise from this competition.

 

[Braulio]

Almost same components that Reshtenko, yikes!

 

[tony]

Has Kuperman always competed for Israel? I see he trains in New Jersey?

Every Israeli skater ever skates in New Jersey with Chait. Or at least 95% of them.

 

[Matryeshka]

Who is this child? He's ADORABLE. Love his reactions. I've never seen someone so happy to be second. Top ten finish at his debut. Just imagine what he will do when he becomes aware there's music in the background.

 

[miffy]

Why did it take so long for Chris to call him Superman? I thought he'd have said it the moment he skated out

 

[Andrey aka Pushkin]

Go Selevkos!
All of them!

 

[Hedwig]

Is runner-up a British term or is it used in the US as well?

[Karen-W]

I know it's not likely to happen but I really want Matteo to complete his Euros medal collection today.

 

[Andrey aka Pushkin]

Has Kuperman always competed for Israel? I see he trains in New Jersey?

He's from actual Israel, and until 2022 trained in Holon.
So I would imagine.
