2026 Europeans - Women SP - "Welcome to Meh-field"

[skatingguy]

Ariadna Gupta Espada
Coach: B. Luoni, A. Puglisi, R. Cazzaniga
Music: Malaguena by Ernesto Lecuona

3Lz!+2Tq -3-turn between jumps
3Lo
Camel Spin 3
2A
Step Sequence 3
Change Foot Combo Spin 2
Flying Sit Spin 4

The jump combination error seemed very unnecessary, and like a loss of concentration. The rest of the program was pretty solid, but needs to focus on getting better levels particularly on the spins.

46.76 = 2nd Place

 

[delayedaxel]

She doesn't look happy skating...

 

[Citlali]

Is Niki the Heart of the Sea?

Titanic with voiceovers just as the forefathers intended!

 

[swissskate]

Love Niki Wories hobbies according to her ISU bio: travelling the world and exploring new restaurants

 

[Hedwig]

Niki WORIES
3flip hand down 2toe, huge effort
3lutz
2axel
all her jumps are a bit wild today

 

[skatingguy]

Niki Wories
Coach: Thomas Kennes
Music: My Heart Will Go On by Celine Dion

3F+2T - hand down on the flip
3Lz!q
Flying Sit Spin 4
2A - loose air position
Step Sequence 2
Change Foot Combo Spin 3
Layback Spin 3

Struggled to find her footing in the program, but upped the technical content that was planned.

48.14 = 2nd Place

3flip hand down 2toe, huge effort
3lutz
2axel
all her jumps are a bit wild today

The tech callers are Woried about Niki's lutz edge.

 

[Elisheba]

Ouch, Nargiz...

 

[Vagabond]

Suleymanova should be skating to Titanic

 

[Hedwig]

Nargiz SUELEYMANOVA

the second (apart from Sauter) German skater, the German fed was stupid enough not to support enough and now have no German women competing here

3lutz three turn 1 toe pity
nice 3 loop
2axel - oh no landed forwards
cool split slide in the footwork

 

[skatingguy]

Nargiz Sueleymanova
Coach: J. Russell, T. Wilson, B. Orser, E. Pryhitka
Music: Shallow by Lady Gaga

3Lz+1T* - 3-turn between jumps, single toe-loop is invalid
3Lo
Flying Sit Spin 4
1A* - opened forward, invalid element
Layback Spin 4
Step Sequence 4
Change Foot Combo Spin 4

It looks like the skating quality, and elements are right there for Nargiz to be top 10 at Europeans, but the jumps were not good today.

46.60 = 4th Place

 

[swissskate]

I have the impression that Nargiz rushes things unfortunately, she has actually great qualities and speed, that’s a pity

 

[rfisher]

Who sold all these skaters and choreographers the Most Depressing Music Ever playlist? Skater after skater. I hope the audience has plenty of antidepressants. Or chocolate.

Not just the audience there but all of us. I may have to break out the tub of chocolate chip cookie dough I've got in the fridge, lol.

Barbora VRANKOVA

ugh, with Rozanov....

3toe fall out
2axel bad landing as well
3loop2toe

ah random fall in the steps, that sucks the energy out of her finally

 

[skatingguy]

Barbora Vrankova
Coach: S. Rozanov, P. Shuboderova, M. Mitcinska
Music: Clouds, The Mind on the (Re)Wind

3T - stepped out
2A - hand down
Camel Spin 4
3Lo<+2T
Flying Sit Spin 4
Step Sequence 2 - fall
Change Foot Combo Spin 4

Just a bit of a mess all the way through. The step sequence seems to be the danger element today.

-1.00 = Falls
44.67 = 6th Place

 

[TAHbKA]

These k&c interviews are one of the worst ideas ever

 

[mini_mim85]

These k&c interviews are one of the worst ideas ever

That last one was particularly excruciating.

Stefania being original and skating to The Nutcracker in all black

Her jumping technique is awful

 

[Elisheba]

Does Stefania know anything about the Nutcracker?

 

[Hedwig]

Yakovleva
3flip3toe
3lutz
2axel bit wild again
that should be enough to get her into the free
I enjoyed Jogaile more, to be honest, but not a bad skate at all.


lol at Chris hyperbole and Tonia diplomatically "it was a solid program"

 

[skatingguy]

Stefania Yakovleva
Coach: Sergei Komolov, Shoshina Kristina
Music: The Nutcracker by P.I. Tchaikovsky

3F+3Tq - rotation issues
3Lz
Flying Camel Spin 4
Change Foot Combination Spin 4
2A - tight landing
Step Sequence 4 (3 after review)
Layback Spin 3 - loss of speed

Solid technical skate, and good performance as well.

Q 56.16 = 1st Place

 

[Former Lurve Goddess]

Does Stefania know anything about the Nutcracker?

Her program is about the death of the Nutcracker after it was shot out of cannon.

 

[TAHbKA]

That last one was particularly excruciating.

Am imagining the amount of French curses we'll learn if Kevin will go Kevining

 

[Citlali]

I can't believe we are a whole group away from the first Q

 

[Elisheba]

I do love a "My Sweet and Tender Beast"

 

[TAHbKA]

I can't believe we are a whole group away from the first Q

Am quite sure Yakovleva will qualify

 

[Hanna]

Dubinina still skates? I feel like it's been 87 years. But good for her!

 

[Hedwig]

Antonina DUBININA

3flip2toe
3loop
2axel
