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

[barbk]

Egadze isn't my favourite skater, but I respect him for still going all-out in this program when he could just play it safe.

If he didn't go all out on the jumps--is anything left?

 

[Braulio]

Death in my soul that this mess of a programme will win the comp

overall it was a mess of a competition

Mark in a kilt - swoon!

 

[miffy]

Ugh, they are going to win bronze in three weeks.

I think so too! But I wouldn't mind that. I saw an interview quote with Gubanova who said the team event is the most important for her at the Olympics and that they all really support each other. I like to see that

Pairs winner Berulava showing off his love trail at the end here in the KnC was the best thing about this whole men's free.

Who is the female commentator on Peacock?

If they are using the ISU feed, Chris Howarth is accompanied by Tonia Kwiatkowski.

And now Mark in a kilt.

 

[rfisher]

I'm so happy for him. Two gold for Georgia and Gubanova redeemed herself with her FS. Well done.

It’s mainly because Russia will take credit.

 

[PRlady]

Let’s just say that Ilia and the Japanese don’t have much to worry about in the individual, unless Adam is really getting into form.

Awww, love it when the KnC is more on the kiss than the cry. I love the weirdness of Oly Euros. There's always some nonsense happening. Nikolai is rather charming in this interview. But I absolutely refuse to root for Georgia in the TE. Nope. Not happening. Not doing it.

 

[mini_mim85]

Egadze seems a nice enough guy, if a little dull to watch, but it pains me to see Eteri win.

 

[Marta24]

Congrats to all the medalists

Great to see Hagara in 10th place with the 4th FS. So, we might see Lukas Vaclavik at next Euros, too.

 

[PRlady]

I’m going to root for Italy for the bronze, of course. But will try to separate my loathing for Egadze’s coach and give him credit.

 

[Braulio]

Mark in a kilt such gorgeous man

Part of me thinks that Team Georgia may be peaking too early. Not that Team Italy or Team Canada give me any reason to think they can beat Team Georgia at this point.

 

[Spikefan]

I’m jealous of how quickly Euros gets the ceremony together. They took forever at US Nationals.

 

[Hedwig]

Lindfors is actually tenths on PCS. Never thought I see the day when judges at least TRY to use PCS it was meant to be used.

 

[Vagabond]

Britschgi finished fourth. Higher than Memola, Grassl, and the Selevkos. Again.

 

[Sally1214]

WOW ..... Nika ran away with the title ... and his tes held at over 100 points. How wonderful for him. Such a happy K/C and then Matteo's also there to offer his congrats. Luka is Nika's godfather! Always a few surprises, it seems. Nika seems like a really nice person. I'm very happy for him.

Now a bit of a break before the free dance, which, I'm sure, will bring lots of differing opinions and emotions. But, hey, that's a big part of what makes it so entertaining. See you for all the fun.

They also did a fine job awarding Kessler. That was so deserved.

 

[my little pony]

what a jaunty upbeat natl anthem!

so excited for Matteo being the top italian today

Egadze seems a nice enough guy, if a little dull to watch, but it pains me to see Eteri win.

I try to remind myself there are/were plenty of US coaches that were/are questionable and awful, but I didn't take it out on the skaters underneath them.

Memo to Chris: Benoit the Vampire isn't supposed to smile.

 

[Matryeshka]

So, if any of you had this podium on their bingo card, you best buy a lottery ticket/place your bet on the ponies.

 

[miffy]

Big well done to Memola and Rizzo for just hanging onto the 3 spots. I'm not a Grassl fan but it's hard not to feel sorry for him, such a nightmare skate.

 

[Sally1214]

Glad I stuck around for the medals ... got to see Robin Cousins. Gotta run now .... nothing to eat yet today.

 

[Andrey aka Pushkin]

So, who had these correctly on their bingo card?
