Since the questionnaire thread for the GPF was a success, I figured it'd be fun to start one for the first major ISU championship of the season: Europeans! :cheer:

(Parenthesis denote my answers)

THE QUESTIONS:
1. Who in each discipline are you most excited to see? (Lena! :love:, S/K, C/L, No idea in men's)
2. If you had to bet on one skater to be a surprise medalist, who would it be? (Mikhail Kolyada)
3. Which discipline do you think will be the most exciting/best quality? (Pairs...should be amazing)
4. Which will be the most unpredictable? (Men's, as always)
5. What rivalry will you be most excited to see here? (Lena vs Evgenia or Russian pairs)
6. Who gets your best-dressed vote in each discipline? (Evgenia, Elena, S/K, C/L-FD only)
7. Favorite programs that will be competed at Euros? (Elena's SP, Evgenia's SP, S/K's FS, M/H's amazingly weird disco FS, C/L's FD, dance S/K's SD, Kovtun's weirdly entertaining FS, THE STOMP! AKA S/K's FS, probably other ones I can't remember lol)

It may be over two weeks away, but it's never too early to get overexcited...;)

I enjoyed this questionare so much during GPF and since I will go to Bratislava to watch it all right at the rink I'm even more excited! So I will answer the question not just in the way who am I excited to see or which programs are my favorites, but also the way who am I excited to see skating live(also during practices I definitely want to watch them there), or who am I looking forward to just see live with my own eyes or which programs I can't wait to see with my own eyes etc... :D
So my answers:
1.We don't know yet who exactly is going to be there, but we can predict some:
Men-Deniss Vasiljev(hopefully he will be there), Daniel Samohin, Ivan Righini
Ladies-all Russian girls
Pairs-Kawaguti/Smirnov, Marchei/Hotarek, Dušková/Bidař(not sure if they will be there) and I can't forget Aljona and Bruno
Dance-P/C, C/L, unfortunately not I/Z
2.maybe Mikhail Kolyada but I don't really know
3.everything :love:
4.men
5.Russian pairs, Russian ladies, C/L vs. P/C vs. Russians, also Russian dancers, and also Russian dancers who didn't competed at the last year's Europeans(especially B/S) against P/C, aljona and bruno(I can't get used to it, I always wrote Aljona and Robin then realised my mistake and rewrote it :D )
6.evgenia in ladies, Kawaguti's dress for SP, C/L
7.Deniss Vasiljevs's both, Evgenia's both, Anna's FP, Kawaguti/Smirnov's both programs

And yes you're right saying it's never too early to get overexcited. I don't have school until next week so I said to myself I should start to prepare for Euros, because then I won't have so much time because of all the tests. So I made some plan, which sights I wanna see, how to travel to Bratislava, how to travel in Bratislava, found out that my hotel is just behind the corner from the hotel where journalists will stay and know I'm just waiting for some more informations about practices. I was thinking I could go to Bratislava on Monday or Tuesday just to see it. I don't live in Bratislava, but not so far away so when I have time I will want to go. I'm maybe a little bit crazy but I just can't wait :love: :yahoo: :dance3: :hap93:

1. Men: Javi and Kovtun. OH! And Bychenko and Samohin (Can't forget the Israelis!). Ladies: All Russian ladies. And Roberta. Pairs: V/T, Savchenko/Massot, Marchei/Hotarek. Dance: Oh that's tough I really don't follow European dance...So I'll leave it blank.
2. Hmmmm Daniel Samohin could medal for men's....or maybe not....lol who knows. Maybe Marchei/Hotarek for pairs? I don't know....
3. Quality: Pairs. Exciting: Men cause I find the men exciting.
4. Pairs for sure. Ladies is pretty locked in place barring any disasters. 1st place is pretty much set for men....so after that is a mystery. Dance....Could be a toss up.
5. V/T and Aliona/Bruno as a lot of people say.
6. Javi for men's of course, Women....ooooh....Elena or Evgenia, Pairs: V/T? Dance: Not sure.
7. Kovtun's SP, Rodeghiero's SP, Deniss Vasiljevs' SP (Cause it's so much fun to watch!), Marchei/Hotarek's FP,

Ladies.

4. Which will be the most unpredictable? (Men's, as always)

Pairs.

5. What rivalry will you be most excited to see here? (Lena vs Evgenia or Russian pairs)

Russian girls.

6. Who gets your best-dressed vote in each discipline? (Evgenia, Elena, S/K, C/L-FD only)

Evgenia Medvedeva. No idea about others.

7. Favorite programs that will be competed at Euros?

Anna Pogorilaya's SP, Evgenia Medvedeva's FS. Pogorilaya's FS though is very good if she wins because while the rest of the program is what it is, the ending is extremely epic(starting on the second-to-last spin). I think that this is very necessary to have a truly epic moment of victory. Hanyu's current FS is by far the best at this.
