2016 Europeans Men SP

[Bumdid]

Is this the first event where 3 different people landed 2 clean quads in the SP?

Samohin's 4S isn't that clean though :sad4:

 

[zschultz1986]

Well, the song is really appropriate for him. He really can't dance.

 

[nolangoh]

LOVE his reaction at the end LOL

 

[alskling]

Haters. You know. You so annoying.

 

[NoNameFace]

I never understood the hype over kovtun.

the hype is only TAT's

 

[Bumdid]

Still Kovtun's best program in forever.

 

[Franklin99]

Well, the song is really appropriate for him. He really can't dance.

 

[HanDomi]

At least his setup for quads was somewhat better than Fernandez who did full two circles around the ice the same way :dev2:

 

[viennaskater]

Horrible program - and what a misery-guts!

 

[Pamigena]

And again the axel
I never understood the hype over kovtun. He can jump but sorry he CANT dance

well, that's why it's "I can't dance" and not "Dancing Queen" I suppose?

 

[Icey]

energetic, exciting program for me. too bad about the fall.

 

[Sugarpova]

Still Kovtun's best program in forever.

noo
FS takes the cake

 

[NoNameFace]

he cant dance

srsly, I really don't know if this is auto-irony or a desperate attempt to be cool (about this program)...

 

[EdgeCall]

3A are cursed tonight, with some glorious exceptions (Fernande:luv17

The triple Axel doesn't dare to fail him. :yes:

 

[daphenaxa]

it was quite good all things considered I think

 

[lbc2138]

Best European mens competition in a while. A couple of falls on triple axels surprisingly but amazing that 3(?) skaters had two quads in their programs!

 

[Shayuki]

Glad to see that Kovtun did well in the SP but he'll still have to convince me of his FS.

 

[Franklin99]

Tarasova is yelling.
