2015 Nebelhorn Trophy Ladies SP and Free Skate

[Alex D]

The 47. Nebelhorn Trophy comes along with a huge line up! We have Olympic, World, European and National Champions - all ready to present their brand new programs and start their seasons with a bang.

A bang it surely was, what Maxim Trankov and Tatiana Volosozhar did in 2014, with winning two Olympic gold medals at Sochi. After taking a year off from competition, the Russians will celebrate their comeback, while trying to win their 4th. title at Oberstdorf.
Not yet with a title, but a huge heart - Vanessa James and Morgan Cipres and the very promising couple from Canada, Julianne Seguin & Charlie Bilodeau - world junior silver medalists in 2015, will surely not hand over that golden spot, without a fight.

Talking about podiums, Alena Leonova second in 2014, and the always smiling champion from 2012, Keatlyn Osmond - silver medalist from Sochi, are going to lead the high class ladies field onto the ice. Also back at Oberstdorf, but currently only listed as a substitute is the young lady with the "bling bling" dresses, Ashley Caine, former third at the NT in 2013. Not a substitute, but ready for take off are the highly talented Dutch jewel Niki Wories and Lea Johanna Dastich from Germany, but also the Bavarian Open Champion Mariko Kihara from Japan.

No Japanese athlete currently listed in the men´s bracket, but the European Champion from 2011, Florent Amodio is, so are Konstantin Menshov and local hero Michal Brezina – both former European Bronze medalists. No medals yet, but always very entertaining programs can surely be expected by the North Americans Elladj Balde and Max Aaron, but also by Peter Liebers ,former 8th. at Sochi.

Last but not least, the World Champions from 2014, Anna Cappellini and Luca Lanotte will be challenged by the 2015 silver medalists Madison Chock and Evan Bates. As always, tickets will be waiting for you at the box office inside the venue and for those who cannot come over to Germany, a live stream will cover every skate including the exhibition on Saturday at half past 8 PM CET.

Good evening everyone! Finally an event at a palatable AEST hour!

I'm chowing down on my dinner and ready for Brooklee and Kailani! :yay:

Then Paris and Matthew, and then a little nap before - yes, I will be awake at a most ungodly hour to see Andrew and of course, my Swan Prince!

 

[CaroLiza_fan]

Arrrrrgh!!!! Alena is wearing her SP suit costume from last season again!!!

Hopefully she is just re-using it as a temporary measure until her new costume is ready.

(Crossing fingers that that is the case...)

Debbi Wilkes is so well informed of all the rules!!

This program reminds me that Didier needs to stop being an idiot and release Aliona to skate with Bruno.

Well she was a former world medalllist in pairs and is an ISU technical specialist to boot.

Lea was 15th in the Junior GP at Colorado Springs a few weeks ago.

I suspect she will end up higher here!

[tulosai]

Okay I tried a third browser and saw most of Courtney. I wish she could sometime really deliver clean in competition. She is such a powerful skater.
