Euros 2025 - Men FS: ‘The Good, The Quad And The Fugly’

[YourBorneo]

As I always say…

Dune you dare tempt the Skating Gods.

 

[Rukia]

oof mess

 

[LilJen]

Erm… congratulations, Lukas! (I think)

 

[Sally1214]

Lukas Britschgi SHOULD be the 2025 European Men's Champion.

 

[tony]

3rd really is the only fair result.

He's not beating Britschgi, and he shouldn't beat Memola based on PCS boost.

Siao Him Fa

Successfully completed one out of two opening quads, longest rest break ever seen taking a nap, 2 messy 3as, fighting through, pretty sloppy, but he does have that big SP lead

 

[Belsornia]

I know he's competitive, but I really think Adam should take more time off to fully recover. His skating has everything he needs for success except healthy ankles and I'm nervous that he's jeopardising his long term career.

 

[Aceon6]

Ok, who had a podium of Britschgi, Memola and ?

 

[MsZem]

Incredible how fast Dune became The Requiem for a Dream of the 2020s.

 

[Spikefan]

I think the ISU needs to implement another dying on the ice moratorium.

I like it when it’s at the end. So maybe just only in the first or last 10 seconds is it allowed.

 

[beckab81]

There's no way they can PSC him into the lead, and even 2nd would be a big reach.

 

[Lizziebeth]

What does 'making heavy weather of this mean'?

making it look like really hard work!

 

[genevieve]

Adam has expended his entire short program lead just on the TES gap here, I don't see how components could save him.

They better not - that was a mess, and there are a LOT of pauses choreographically. Just no

 

[Kaz7714]

I hope he can heal and get better prepared more thoroughly, because I really would like to see this programm clean. It could really be something.
But Britschgi is Euro Champ I think.

 

[miffy]

Chris totally jinxed him

I hope Adam can hang on for bronze. But I’d be happy with Lukas & Nikolaj in gold and silver. I like them all.

 

[Messalina]

I think the ISU needs to implement another dying on the ice moratorium.

But Deniss !

 

[Former Lurve Goddess]

But Deniss !

There'll be a Deniss exemption.

 

[MacMadame]

What does 'making heavy weather of this mean'?

To make something difficult that isn't difficult is the official meaning.

 

[Andrey aka Pushkin]

And I got out of my pajamas for this?

 

[tony]

Nika is heartbroken yet again. I hate seeing that, I don't care who his coach is.

 

[Spikefan]

They got it right.

 

[Messalina]

Nika looking wretched in the waiting area

 

[Lizziebeth]

But Deniss !

IIRC, I think Dennis took a lot shorter nap

 

[genevieve]

So happy for Britschgi and Memola!!

First, hi Cedric

4T fall, looked so tight in his ankles
4S
3F
3A fall out
okay, now he dies and will come back to life a new jumper
4T+REP forward, stumble out. Big loss of points with the +REP
3Lz+Eu+3S with ridiculously generous positive GOE
needs another combo.. 3A turns out+2A

I think the judges aren't buying Into his programs so much this year. The PCS has not yet been anywhere near looking boosted.

Should be 3rd. Can't see how he will get up to 2nd, PCS would need to be over 90 and that should not happen.

And he is THIRD!

Tony you confirm what I thought!!!

 

[AngieNikodinovLove (ANL)]

Eighth Place to first place, well done.

 

[Aceon6]

So it was Lucas who pulled the SHF!
This comp was sooooo weird!

 

[YourBorneo]

BRONZE FOR ADAM!
GLORY FOR LUKAS!
SCRAPS FOR ETERI!

 

[Karen-W]

That dying on the ice! My mom called me last week to gripe about Ilia's dying on the ice closing pose and the various dying on the ice happenings during US Nats and I told her she hadn't seen anything yet, then proceeded to tell her about Adam's mid-program resuscitation - the very notion of it offended her greatly, but I am soooo here for it!

As it is, well done Lukas! Very well-deserved first European title!

 

[Rukia]

wow Lukas!!
