European Championships 2011 in Bern (Switzerland)

Florent and Michal were awesome!! They looked so confident and in control, and with such charisma!! I really liked the Michal's programme, he is starting to express himself very well on the ice And nice costume too
Too bad Thomas fell, it was a charming programme though the costume was really bad, yeah probably the vest jinxed him
Glad to see Artur doing so well despite the injury. It was the first time for me to see his SP and I absolutely hated the music, so I hope he will do even better on the free programme!!
It was quite satisfying result and I am happy!

Soooooo, thank you girls for your amazing comments about our favorite skaters!
I'll give my opinion about it...

First of all, I watched the competition on Eurosport (French commentators) but tomorrow, I'll watch it on the Dutch Eurosport. The French Commentators were so... guh. The guy was a former skater so sometimes, he gave informations but like "Ok, there's a fabulous 3A A++" and I was like "Hum, ok... whut?"

Then, they critisized Stéphane. I quote them: "Stéphane's narcissicm and egocentrism does not allow him to be a pedagogue. He will give advice on occasion but he's not the type to ferry his passion to others". I wondered if they were talking about our Stéphane, really

But back to the competition: KEVIN was brilliant! Of course, his choregraphy is not spectacular. But his technique has improved, I'm proud of him!
BRIAN... What's happening to you, dear? He's got skills but I don't know if he failed because of the pressure or the stress. The commentators said that "he was sick" but they say that everytime a Frenchman falls, anyway.
FLORENT was amazing. Beautifully amazing. Such passion and energy!
And what about ARTUR? He was trully a nice surprise! I loved his outfit, loved his choregraphy and the music he chose

Who the heck is that offensive French commentator??? I will go and sort him out
I thought the American commentators were pathetic, but I guess they are not the only ones...
Can you get Eurosport UK? The commentator for them, Chris Howarth and Simon Reed are wonderful, always fair and sensible, no nationalistic favouritism. I love them!!

Poor poor Javi... I hear his boots were coming apart and thus the performance as well. I hope he manages to bounce back tomorrow!

Yeah, about Javi, they said that he was faking it. That his boots hadn't anything wrong.

I can't get Eurosport UK, unfortunately... I suppose I will have to do with Eurosport NL

I watched this on Russian TV and commentators all the time recalled Stephane also but they said the very good words about him only,it was clear that they loved and admired him and missed him
Kevin is really brilliant!I don't agree that he has not choreo,our commentators said about him:"He could dance in ballet",and honestly I don't see any Flo's choreo,just young ardour,but OK,Ok,let him go to Worlds and have a nice time competing with Patrick and Japaneses,ho-ho!
Michal's face hurt me,he was great in SP,but "ice is slippery sometimes they fall",the exciting moment for me was to see Vladimir Kotin He is coaching Maksim Shipov who represents Israel,I was fallen in love with Kotin when I was about 7 and you know,he hasn't changed

Best skating(IMHO)

Thanks Milana! I was so sad after Michal's LP... His face was horribly sad, poor boy.

I was really angry about all this Kevin thing, because really, he skated better than Tomas! He wasn't as artistic, I agree but his technique was priceless

I felt so sorry for Kevin, too, because with that kind of jumps, he deserved a medal! He isn't the most artistic skater in the world, it's true, but his jumps were spot on! All of them! Amazing. And poor Michal, I so much hope he gets a medal very soon, because he is a wonderful, textbook skater, and I don't want his confidence be shatterd!
