2026 Europeans - Women Free Skate - "You Can Leave Your Splat On"

[delayedaxel]

I don't know why, but I find it more appealing when skaters just put one arm up above the head when jumping (tano) than the Rippon version with two arms.

Catapult.

Oh, that's witty!

 

[Jay42]

Has Italy already named Lara Naki Guttman to the Olympic team or is this a skate off between her and Anna Pezzetta? I know Pezzetta's GP season wasn't great and Guttman's was better but I seem to have missed if they named their woman for the Olympic team amongst the conversation about whether or not Italy is sending Memola or Rizzo.

 

[PRlady]

Kevin totally imploded I have no idea why FB/C got the !

And Lobacheva/Brissaud wuzrobbed.

Honestly it seems like the best places to grow up to be a successful Euro lady are Estonia and Belgium. I also wonder if the Joos sisters are regretting the jump to Italy.

Joos is actually ahead of Pezzetta in the Olympic race. Lara should be good to go.

Lara is named. She is about 20 points higher in the ranking

Yup ... forgot about them. They most certainly were.

 

[delayedaxel]

I so love Lara Naki Gutman. Her eerie and spooky programms to horror movie scores really stand out.

 

[tony]

Just checked the document I got for Italy:

Gutmann 612.21
Joos 562.91
Pezzetta 537.14

Going into Euros AFAIK because it's the document that named Frangipani ahead of Circelli if Memola were to have withdrawn

 

[Hanna]

The question is, just how badly can Pezzetta blow this.

It is confirmed for Gutmann here.

Catapult.

Oh, that's witty!

A rather eccentric friend of mine who lives on an island used to have a trebuchet (a variation on a catapult) and that thing was a blast to use.

Chris is JINXING her right now!!!

Allowing that the ice is slippery, blah blah, and that anything can happen, blah blah, and that the judges gonna judge, bleep blorp: Considering the three American women, three Japanese women, two Korean women and then Petrosian/Schizas/Samodelkina, what chances do any of these women even have of cracking the top 10 in Milan? (FWIW, if I were a betting woman, my money would be on Gutmann to be the one to manage it.)

 

[SkateFanBerlin]

Hate colors in Petrokina`s dress

 

[Wyliefan]

Is that a new dress for Lara?

 

[rfisher]

Flashback: Jorik's last competitive year when he and Radionova both skated to Titanic. Radionova singing my heart will go on at the top of her lungs. I so wanted the two of them to do an exhibition together.

 

[Wyliefan]

Kimmy brought the whickety-whack.

Excellent, thank you.

At worlds last year it took a score of 194+ to make top 10 and 2 European women did (Pinzarrone and Petrokina). If I were guessing, I would say 1-3 Europeans will be top 10 in Milan.

I wish Kimmy would bend her knees more on her landings, but her height gives a really striking appearance to her skating. Good for her coming back from injury (but maybe take a few things off the dress, it's very busy).

 

[Hedwig]

Kimmy
3z
3f
both jumps tiny and borderline rotated
2a3t - toe again short
3sal
3l2a
jumps getting better as she goes along
3sal turn out 2t
3l
that should be enough to keep two spots, well done, Kimmy

 

[Karen-W]

All things considered with Kimmy that was much better than I expected from her seeing that she took the entire fall season off.

 

[skatingguy]

Kimmy Repond
Rank after SP: 6
Coach: Jeromie Repond, Michael Huth
Music: White Flowers Take Their Bath, Nevertheless

3Lz!q
3F

Flying Change Foot Combo Spin 4
Choreo Sequence
3Lo+2Aq+SEQ
3S+2T - 3-turn between jumps
3Lo
Layback Spin 4 (3 after review)
Step Sequence 4

After being out all season with injury that was pretty well skated. The jumps aren't quite where she needs them to be so I'm sure we'll see some rotation calls.

118.61 = 5th Place
177.89 = 3rd Place

whickety-whack +5 goe

 

[Jay42]

This was so nice to see from Kimmy especially considering she's only been training since last month.

 

[Colonel Green]

I always appreciate the tall girl skaters. Keep up the good fight against the laws of physics, Kimmy.

 

[miffy]

Aww well done Kimmy Great to see her back.

 

[Hanna]

Repond's obviously been struggling with injury but this was probably the most uninspired program I remember from her. I've usually quite enjoyed her presentation but there was not much here.

That said, amazing for her to have such a good skate after such hard times.
