I thought things were already at their worst for Amodio... Nope, it can get worse.

Edit: Besseghier overtook him. What now?!? France has 2 spots in Sochi (I'm sure they'll send Amodio, but still...)

Sad too see a former Euros champ skate like this. His TES is catastrophic low. One spin with 0 points again, and only 7 jumping passes

FS: 40.75+71.78-1.00 = 111.53,190.13, in 3rd (out of 14)

Besseghier benefitting from post-zamboni PCS bonus. His basics aren't great and whilst he did more or less skated to the music, the program wasn't great either.

It's really sad to see skater as highly skilled as Amodio totally implode like this. Post-Morozov Stress Disorder? :p

I'm sorry for Amodio, but it's a disgrace that his inflated PCS put him ahead of a skater as classy as Pfeifer after this disaster.

Is Belgian federation deciding their olympic entry with Euros?

they said he'd have to finish in the top 12.

Hendrickx's choreo was quite bland but he skated with a lot of speed and flow throughout and his upper body movement was quite refined. I hope he did enough.

I'm not sure it really was inflated. His basics are excellent, after all.

He needs to be top 12.

The Dutch commentator was far less eloquent, and called it "K U T" (think an 'n' in there, if it sounds like a bad English word, that's it). Bad commentator, swearing in capital letters!

BTW Bravo Jorik!!!

Crying for Hendrickx, he will be at least 9th and is now guaranteed for Sochi! He really deserved it. :)
