luckily I remembered the score I/K needed to beat otherwise I'd have a heart attack. I don't get their PCS either, the only mark they got a tiny bit lower was choreography, everything else was higher than B/S.

And Anna/Luca had the highest TES, now they only need to work on the PCS and they'll go high, one more season with Igor... I can't wait to see the improvement.

Hm excuse me dear translator, but Dimka wished the speedy recovery for Fabian (unless my russian is completely wrong) why didn't you translate that?! I understand croatian, and he didn't say it there either.

yes! he said that! I found it quite strange that translator didn't translate this sentence

Especially since it's a very nice gesture. idiot.

Carolina -- that was really good despite the fall. The first 3T looked good but the second one wasn't. Too bad about the fall. But despite that she still skated great and her last spin was only a level 3.

Adelina -- that was gorgeous! I love that she finally skated to her potential. Well, still not her Lutz combo but finally skated clean after having not so great seasons. And she got level 4 on everything.

Liza -- haven't seen her program yet. Will watch it in a while. Too bad about the jumps but still good to place 4th. She can still podium considering this season she's been delivering on her LP.

I'd have wanted to see both these three skate clean and we'll see who will score what.

I just wanna say something, though. With regards to steps, the others may get level 4 but I feel Mao and Caro are still ahead of the field in this area. Can we give them level 5?

Will start looking for other vids later.

Did I miss something ? can someone tell me why Arthur Gatchinsky is not competing ?

He has big problems with his leg, still couldn't find the reason and as a reason, he didn't perform well at Nationals

I love C/L but skating after I/K made it even obvious I/K are the better skaters. That said, I/K have the worst FD that's ever won Euros( even though they didn't won overall)

And this is why I don't understand their PCS. Like i said they won on everything but choreohgraphy, I mean seriously? WTH is wrong with the judges?!

But despite C/L not being the best skaters they still manage to get the highest TES of the night... how I wish they'd gone to Igor earlier.

And that considering they had a stumble on the second step sequence(I noticed it live and I checked the protocol, they got only a level 2 because of that with modest GOE). They said about that in the interview. Still they won on TES which shows Igor is a technical genius. C/L are the only one to get a level 4 on steps this season. PCS made no sense to me. However to be honest I thought I/K skated the best in terms of giving all their best on the ice. Both B/S and C/L were more tentative but that's probably because both teams have harder programs with much more transitions. Still I/K executed everything with huge speed and were precise in every element which is why they got the biggest GOE. I am fine with that. PCS though make me

The skater who is most painful to watch these times: Tomas Verner
I love him as a skater and as a person, he's such a great athlete! But he can't put his nerves together... I mean watch his score:
9 Tomas VERNER CZE 108.42 36.94 71.48
That's depressing!!!

Wait, you mean he got 36 points in TES?!!! Wow, that's almost 35 point difference between PCS and TES, this has to be some kind of record. What happened to him, he used to be so good.

Thank you Polosatik. Oh no....another injured skater...I hope he recovers well and I look forward to his come back!

I haven't seen Tomas skating well the past few seasons. Wonder what happened to him ? did he change coach ? does he has less time to skate ?
I also like him as a skater but also his personality. He looks to be a fun and nice guy to hang around with!
