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

[Hedwig]

Alexandra FEIGIN

Estonia is known for having one interesting skater after another - Bulgaria, in contrast, produced one fridge break after the other for me....

Feigin is no exception.... but I try to go into it with an open mind.

ugh starts with armography, the mind is closing fast

3toe 3toe excellent
3loop near fall, will probably count as one
2axel
fall out of the flying camel spin

I did not change my mind

Music: The Feeling Begins by Peter Gabriel

3T+3T
3Lo - step out, hand down, called fall
Change Foot Combo Spin 4 (3 after review)
2A
Sit Spin 3
Flying Camel Spin 4 - lost the blade hold, and stepped out of the spin
Step Sequence 3

Tentative entry into the loop caused problems, and then lost the end of the camel spin.

-1.00 = Falls
49.70 = 10th Place

 

[susieB129]

Never change, Alexandra. Never change. (I refer, of course, to her facial expression.)

 

[Hedwig]

Oh I am happy that Jogaile qualifies!!

Sarina Joos
3z3toe <
2axel
3flip nice
great flexibility.

From the Italian skaters I enjoy Pezzetta and Gutman more, she is lacking a bit of charisma, but that was a great program for her!

Step Sequence 3
Change Foot Combo Spin 4
Layback Spin 4

Very solid skate, and lovely presentation. Just the issue with a bit of travelling on the first spin.

Q 58.90 = 1st Place

 

[Sally1214]

Good job by Sarina. She really DOES rotate quickly in the air. Hope everything was clean.

 

[her grace]

Another Swiss export. Their program is pretty strong, but then, so is Italy’s.

 

[Wyliefan]

One of Olga's less wacky costumes. But it suits her!

 

[Augusztus]

Another Swiss export. Their program is pretty strong, but then, so is Italy’s.

Austria! Born in Ukraine.

Olga MIKUTINA

I always hope that ONE day Olga will put everything together and win a medal at Euros but over the years I started to lose hope....

She does have all the talent

not this year then....

3lutz < and fall

2axel
3flip df 2toe

le sigh

I love her choreo, her posture, her pointed toes but... well

3Lz<< - fall
2A
Flying Camel Spin 3
3F<+2T
Layback Spin 4
Step Sequence 4
Change Foot Combo Spin 4

The jumps were lacking in rotation, and her fate today will be determined by the technical panel.

-1.00 = Falls
Q 53.90 = 5th Place

 

[Hedwig]

Austria! Born in Ukraine.

she meant Sarina

 

[her grace]

Austria! Born in Ukraine.

I was referring to Joos.

 

[Sally1214]

These poor women .... the commentators just pulverize their performances during the replays. Good thing the skaters can't hear them.

Double Axel aside it was very solid.

Q 52.40 = 8th Place

 

[Hedwig]

ugh, I love skating but it is normal bed time for me and still two groups to go and work tomorrow. I am starting to fade...

[rfisher]

Turskaia was one of the cursed Polinas. Alas. Hope she's broken the curse for her skater. But, it seems she might have passed her lutz along.

 

[terisa]

Seniuk should be DQ on the grounds that she's part cat!!!

 

[Sally1214]

Okey-dokey .... time to get up and stretch again. So far, the women have been quite underwhelming but I'm hoping things are about to pick up. Hope dies last.

 

[PRlady]

Tonya is the least inspired commentator ever. She’s been programmed to look for URs and that all she knows or says. Certainly there’s a huge difference in presentation between Mikutina and Seniuk but all we get are rotation reports. Bah. A lot of you guys could do better.

 

[rfisher]

Final two groups thank all the Gods. The puppy has had three different naps during this comp, was rescued from a vulture and chased the big dog around the yard. And, there's still two groups to go!

I'm just grateful she isn't calling every spin position like she did back in the icenetwork days.

haircutter!

 

[her grace]

I do think Tonia’s voice is better for commentating than Gracie, Ashley (though it sounds like she’s worked on hers with some vocal coaching) and Tara.

 

[tangerine dream]

Noooooo!

 

[Braulio]

Loena!!!
