lol just noticed that the ice dance competition has new leaders. Bobrova/Soloviev are the new leaders after short dance, previous leaders Cappellini/Lanotte got 1 point deduction after the revision by the judges later yesterday.

 

the european continue today with the mens short program and womens finals

Disaster for Vrdoljak in short program, not even qualified for the free skate.

 

Oh well, looks like I should prepare for the very strong possibility of Croatia having a grand total of 6 athletes in 2 sports in Korea... My pessimistic prediction in the specified thread was 8 athletes.

our competitor beating only 2 opponents from Bulgaria and Austria...thats just to show how much droped a country with former olympic champion and 5 time european champion Ondrej Nepela and 2 others olympic medalists Karol Divín and Jozef Sabovčík...apart ice hockey the mens figure skating was our briliant winter sport glory, nowadays it´s just a shame and joke

Terrible moments for the Israeli Daniel Samohin He lost his luggages with his skates They didn´t find them, so the organizers lent him a new pair, but ofc this is a huge disadvantage and it was visible he couldn´t even skate decently, not questions about jumps, true sport tragedy for the junior world champion...

 

but still he beat our athlete

So, the brief review of yesterday, Evgenia Medvedeva the 17 years old Russian marvel defended (in a new World record 150.79 in free skate and 228.56 in total) her title and became once again european champion in front of her teammate Anna Pogorilaya, Bronze medal go to Italy after another epic performance of the Sochi 2014 bronze medalist Carolina Kostner.

 

Once again I must mention the historic best result of slovak women figure skater with a beautiful 6th place of Nicole Rajičová.

In the mens competition Javier Fernandez of Spain is clearly going for his 5th european title in a row he already has 10 points advantage after the short program in front of the Russian Maxim Kovtun, currently 3rd is Alexey Bychenko of Israel.

Last 2 Golds of this years European Championships went to France and Spain. The French Dance pair Gabriella Papadakis/Guillaume Cizeron won their 3rd european title in a row. Silver go to Italy and their pair Anna Cappellini/Luca Lanotte and Bronze for Russia Ekaterina Bobrova/Dmitri Soloviev.

 

16th place for our new formed pair Lucie Myslivečková/Lukáš Csolley isn´t bad for a debut, but thats really pitty especially for Lukáš who was last years used to be much higher with Federic Testa his previous partner, now the dream and goal is to qualify for the olympics, it´s going to be a hard task

 

 

Gabriella Papadakis/Guillaume Cizeron

 

Javier Fernandez of Spain as expected and fully deserved defended once again his continental title and triumphed for the 5th time in a row a real legend he tied the achievement of our Ondrej Nepela (1969-1973) The remaining medals go to Russia, Silver for Maxim Kovtun and Bronze for Mikhail Kolyada.
