2014 Trophée Eric Bompard Mens FS 11/22

Is Kovtun actually going to win this?! If he does, he must've created a record for "most bizarre two wins on the GP circuit in one season."

Indeed. Is he lucky or unlucky?

Maybe he's like a bad luck charm for other skaters

 

[lavender]

Denis is so inconsistent to me....sorry but that's one of the reasons I'm not exactly a fan.

Frank: "Well...This is the first time you've won a medal in the Grand Prix Series..."

 

[Mrs. P]

Well at least Denis got his GP medal....

 

[friedbanana]

I did not predict these results lol

HAHAHAHAHHAH totally agree!

 

[pitterpatter]

Lots of trouble with 3As in this event it seems...

On another note, I quite like the first position in his camel spin

 

[firal]

Frank: That was the first time you win a medal in a GPS...:sarcasm:

 

[Lota]

I seem to remember a journalist writing that Kovtun "settled" on 6th place in the SP and people laughing about it... well, I guess he really was clairvoyant!

 

[Meoima]

I feel like someone is voodooing all skaters today except Kovtun...

 

[Poice]

Didn't like Denis performance He didn't use his hands much.... For me he should get lower PCS than Kovtun...I can't believe I'm saying this

What a strange event

 

[Sandpiper]

Oh my goodness, Denis actually falls behind Machida into third place. While I like Machida's choreography and interpretation a lot more, this is... a little unfair? Denis at least landed one clean quad-triple and had a clean short.

 

[OS]

3 points Lower PCS than Mashida!??? So disagree!!!! Where's teh joy in Mashida's performance, someone enlighten me!! ARGHH CRAP CRAP JUDGING!!!!!

 

[Silvia451]

My lovely skaters I still hope to see again two clean programs from Denis at the same event...

 

[adelia]

I knew it, I should have gone to bed earlier.

 

[gibbynka]

I wish I had something to erase all Gp this year except Cup Of Russia.

This is my first year watching the figure skating GP live, and it is just too stressful!

 

[lavender]

Is it just me or do other people not really like Kovtun's skating or his jumps (air position). T_T I'd always rather have someone else win.

Nope not a fan. All the skaters I like from Russia have retired.

 

[gravy]

I originally placed Kovtun for gold in my predictions, but changed it to Dornbush like 2 minutes after. Damn!
