Just skated through the Axel, which is too bad given that she had a good program going into it.

Q 50.70 = 6th Place

 

[Sally1214]

Oh my gosh, so she has problems with her left foot .... what a shame.

[Karen-W]

She just MADE it! It matters not how she got in, she made it through!

 

[Sally1214]

Oh, she qualified. Good for her!

 

[miffy]

She just MADE it! It matters not how she got in, she made it through!

You got lucky

 

[Hedwig]

Now the first two not qualifiing at the moment are the two I enjoyed the most. go figure....

not to send out bad wishes into the universe but I would not be completely devastated if Seniuk did not make it

 

[Wyliefan]

Josefin looks chipper!

 

[Elisheba]

Go Josefin!!

 

[Hedwig]

GOooo Josefin!

I love the sister power at the boards

3z 2toe
great 3flip, nicely timed to the music
2axel

Best I have seen her skate for a while! Yes!!

 

[Citlali]

Josefin

 

[Elisheba]

She did it!!!

 

[her grace]

Z/G really started something bringing this Survivor cover to skating!

Upped her technical content, and had a strong technical skate, and her performance elevated the program, and the music.

Q 50.44 = 7th Place

 

[susieB129]

I love Josefin. So much.

 

[Hanna]

Nice to see Josefin go for the lutz!

 

[Karen-W]

Good program for Josefin. Maybe this WILL be her Euros Top 10 year.

 

[Hedwig]

the slow mo of her jumps is painful. it did not seem so bad in real time

 

[Sally1214]

Liked Josefin's program a LOT. A skater who actually listened to the music and interpreted it very well. A very aggressive performance. Shame about the underrotations. Gosh, Chris sounds like he's really suffering during these slo-mo replays.

 

[Karen-W]

Well, now Kristen isn't the last to qualify for the FS!

 

[Karen-W]

Ugh - Livia!!!! It was going so great and then she doubled the flip!

Much improved from last fall, but she'd like that flip back.

2flip....
so much better than during the GP but not what she wanted, of course
will still make it into the free

 

[rfisher]

I wish skaters would use Dolly Parton's version instead of Whitney Houstons. It's much more poignant. Especially, if you don't rotate your jumps.

 

[Sally1214]

Such a pretty dress, such a pretty program, such a pretty double flip (sigh) ....

 

[swissskate]

Livia love her SP

 

[Former Lurve Goddess]

How dare my business call take so long! Not bad for Kaiser.

 

[Andrey aka Pushkin]

Ladies competition at the Europeans is one time when I'm sorry I can't press fast forward during a live event.

 

[Sally1214]

Oh dear, the mistakes keep coming. Shame.
