Grenoble 2024 news, photos, practice reports, clips, recaps, etc.

The last practice group for today is on the ice. Seems like I have already spent 7 hours on the ice, which is 7hours too much.
The CHN throw jump is enormous.
 
CHN the split twist is huge. Sbs 3t2a2a she stepped out on the last.
they didn't do the second sbs jump
On the throws he lifts her, holds her in the air and then throws. It looks huge.

Greetings from the ice dance practice. Lopareva/Brissaud - I just love that programme. There is ALWAYS something going on, not a single empty moment. Am not necessarily in love with their ksating, but that programme is probably the best in Europe this season (Gilles/Poirier's FD is brilliant on it's own account)
 
Between Kagiyama and Lajoie/Lagha I prefer Kagiayama.
In general am a bit disappointed with them this year - I luuuurved them in 2022 and this year it's yet another typical Canadian team that I will not remember their programmes 2 minutes after the skate will be over
 
Aymoz music 3a, 4t and then skating threough the programme wihtout the jumps. his gliding is great. Again, the only one who looks a bit out of place is Grassl. Shaidorov 3a2a Malinin 4t
Grassl dear god his posture... 3a/2a Aymoz 3z
Grassl is the only one in the ocstume (apparently).
Grassl 3A

Love Aymoz' programme
 
Grassl's music.
He doid the starting pose and then went on and w were not sure even whether it was a programme and it was planned or he just dropped his arms, bent his back and that wa sit.
Malinin 3A
Malinin 4s3a
Shaidorov 3aeuler4s fall
Malinin 4t3t
Kevin 2a from an una bauer
Kagiyama 4t3t gorgeous , easy, so high
Am sure there is Grassl somehere skating in the background
Grassl 3z3t
Shaidorov 3aeuler 4s double footed.
Grassl 3z all over the place with his free leg.
Kagiyama 4t
Aymoz 3A again, gorgeous.
Shaidorov 4lz
There is an awkward laugh in the audience. Grassl and his programme.
 
Sato's music

Sato popping something.
Malinin 4lz
Sato 3lz
Malinin 4zeuler3f
Shaidorov 4z
Sato is kind of flying above the ice but it's still not impressive. 4T
Aymoz 4t goreous. Interesting that they all speed up clockwise and Kevin theo other way around. Shaidorov 4f
Sato 3loop2a
Malinin 4A!!!!!
Kagiyama 4f
Malinin 4A kinda step out
 
Shaidorov's music

Shaidorov 3A2A
Kevin 3A
Malinin 4loop
Grassl was attempting a 4S but not much success.
 
Kagiyama's music
Grassl landed a couple of 4S
Kagiyama 4T
The men practice is the opposite of the ice dance - nothing was happening there and so much is happening during the men:)

Kagilaya 3f3loop I think and a fall leaving him resting on the ice for a couple of seconds:)

Ugh am again sitting in front of the screaming idiots.
 
Malinin's music
Malinin is skating rhrough with no jumps. Again not much to see without.
Kagiyama 3f3loop
