2018 Europeans Mens FS

[ancientpeas]

Oh, and there was an interview Skate Guard did back in 2015-
http://skateguard1.blogspot.com/2015/05/interview-with-valtter-virtanen.html
He is goals. And love the last bit- "sport is just sport".

Q: Describe the ultimate day in your life. What would you eat, what music would you be listening to and where would you go?

A: I really like nature and all kinds of fish. So on my ultimate day, I would be hiking in the mountains with my fiancée and listening to the sounds of nature and eating fresh fish from the lake or river.

Nice interview. I'd spend this day with him. If I could keep up.

May the FS be better than the SP for everyone!

 

[GGFan]

The Olympic Channel is only showing the last two groups. Good luck to all of the men. Better than the short please

Daniel Albert Naurits Only estonian who made it to FS, go skate your heart out!

And what a beautiful skater he is! Hope jumps will work better for him today. Go Daniel!

 

[ancientpeas]

BTW.. Gutted Daniel didn't make the free skate. What a terrible year he's having. Losing his boots last Europeans and then what happened at Skate America and then not making the Free here.

I know being a 30 year old is not an old man, but seriously, Virtanen does not look 30. Not here, at least.

Bon courage, Romain! [emoji632]

Some of you might have access to the ISU/Eurovision feed. I do in Canada and it's commentary free and the picture is quite good.

Me every time I see Felipe Montoya's name- the princess diaries. I know, real mature of me.

 

[Leppis]

I find that kind of work ethic admirable. Do we know if he is going to the Olympics?

Unfortunately not.

 

[kevinVchicago]

Go Daniel go!!!!

 

[lavenderblossom]

Daniel!

 

[ancientpeas]

Unfortunately not.

That's a shame.

I wonder if he doesn't have some PTSD after that awful injury at SA. I hope he can get himself sorted, but there is not much time to do it before the Olympics.

Daniel not off to great start but so lovely to watch.

Maybe he lost a lot of training time? He can be inconsistent from what people have said.

 

[ancientpeas]

ACK! My stream was weird and didn't start. I had to refresh when I saw you all talking about Daniel skating.

 

[silverfoxes]

Yes, he's always been inconsistent. But there used to be some good performances in between the trainwrecks...sigh

 

[kevinVchicago]

Great Daniel!!! Rough start but it got stronger and stronger.

I'm so happy that he's more prepared with his FS this year-- like he believed he could qualify. That's so important.

He will keep getting better. I LOVE this kid. Good work! [emoji1097]
