I can't wait!!! Go Liza, Caro is going to win for sure, but it would be amazing if Liza managed to win silver medal. Yep!

I'm also rooting for Javi (please win), Plushy (silver is good), Cappellini/Lanotte(for the silver), and Katya/Dima (bronze), I mean we know the french will win it but if the Italians could win silver with their AMAZING Carmen... Swoon

Pairs however, I can't wait to see who'll win, Germans or Russians...I think it's going to be close, unless one of them will have an off night.

I'm so pissed, Zagreb is like 40 min by car from where I live (Slovenia is a small country Very Happy

), but I can't go, because I'm too busy. Bawling

Hopefully I'll manage to go to Triglav Trophy...

Anyway, go Liza, Javi, Anna/Luca and Katya/Dima. I know it's not likely to happen, but kick the french butt!!! Twisted Evil

Might not be able to follow Euros this week but hopefully will get updates here on this thread. Caro will most likely take it but I hope Liza will be doing great and give a run for the gold. Wait. Is Adelina competing?

I hope Javi can nail his programs. He has a shot at gold even against Plushy.

Yes, Adelina is competing, unless she's injured and withdrew, but I haven't heard anything. And I hope so much that Javi will win it!!! Love Hearts

Go Javi!!!! cheers

My dream podium for the ladies:

1. Liza Swoon

2. Caro
3. Adelina / Elene G.

My dream podium is totally the same...but I would prefer to see Elene G. on the podium in Euros than Adelina right now. And I hope Liza can make top, although I know it'll be difficult with Caro being there.

Does anyone know if there's streaming somewhere? Question

The time differences may be a problem, but I'd still like to see it live if possible. Smile

Nathali and Fabian WD and Kiira also Sad

I wantedn them to defend their title, but now it seems Katya and Dima have a chance! I want them to win gold Wink

I'm not sure about live streams but I think hahasport can show it, since it has almost all euros, I'll check it in the evening and post here if I can find anything)

Did they announced the reason for withdrawal?
Holly crap, the Italians have an actual shot at the gold now, IMO it's theirs to lose. cheers

Go Anna/Luca you can do it!!!! Cheering

And I hope Riazanova/Tkachenko will beat the crap out of Lena/Nikita. Twisted Evil

God, I can't stand Morozov and his programs.

Yes I'd love to see Elene on the podium, but she has issues just like Adelina Yep, Sadly

, so we'll see. While I'd love nothing more than to see Liza on the top, I'm affraid it's not going to happen. Even if Caro has a so-so competition, her PCS score is enough to keep her in 1st place.

Yes, he decided to compete and what is the worst ,he got this news while he was on his way to Zagreb and after that,their plane landed in Budapest cause of snowstorm and part of Russian team, who was there seated in airport for 6 hours. It seems now they're on their plane to Zagreb, I hope they will land safely.
No, I was wrong,they're still in the airport

I kind of find it strange that alot of figure skaters lose their parents at early ages...it's really a painful thing which most of us will be facing at some point in our lives, but Miki lost her father when she was very small (in her case she started skating in the same year), Joannie, Mao and Mai...and I think Akiko doesn't have a father either (but this may be because of a divorce maybe, not a death). Rena Inoue, who paired with John Baldwin in the US had lost her father when he was in his 40s also. pale

I feel so sorry for all of them. I lost my mother when I was already much older than them, but it's still shocking and sad to lose a parent, I can only imagine how painful it is to lose someone who cares about you more than anyone at such early ages. My sympathies to all... Sad

I'm so sorry to hear about the death of Maxim's father, Depressed Crying

I can't imagine how he must be feeling right now.

Tell me about it, I'm so pissed!!! But Slovenian National Television who's ALWAYS showing SP in all disciplines, is only showing LP as well. scratch

Is the media not allowed to broadcast short programs or something? It's really weird.

I wish Eurosport would show less tennis and more skating, I mean BOTH Eurosport and Eurosport2 are flooded with tennis, it's ridiculous.

polosatik wrote:: Yes, our forum member is without her luggage too And a lot of flights got delayed or even canceled.

This is why I'm always nervous when Mao decides to come to competitions later, because if her luggage would get lost, she'd be in trouble. Yep, Sadly

If you arrive early then at least you have a few days to wait, but it still sucks though. Too bad skaters aren't allowed to bring skates on the plane in their personal luggage.

The weather around Europe is really bad, and a lot of passenger are very pissed, especially those poor souls at Heathrow. Yep, Sadly
