Checking Ontario Plates

European Championships / Four Continents Championships

Phew! Figure skating fans will know where to head! The European Championships ended soon ... here we should look to South Korea for the Four Continents!

As I could not follow her 2 competitions so careful, here are some brief thoughts on SES2 championships ...

* Are there still people in the room who think that Plushenko will not be Olympic champion in Vancouver ? HEIN? YES?! ... Phew! They say that hope is live! In my case, the longer it goes, the more I tend to think we will get a nice copy / paste the Olympics 2006.

* The free program is a gem Stephane Lambiel ... even without the triple axel!

* European women will definitely do not compete with Japanese women ...

* Domnina / Shabalin can say a big thank you to their score for the compulsory dance ... Glad to see that their original dance, which is a bit ridiculous, was nevertheless greeted coolly so to speak ... * I hope

Delobel / Schoenfelder are sure to hit their jumping European Championships ...

* The new free dance Khokhlova / Novitski, inspired by the "disease" that caused them to Jana missed the Grand Prix Final, is interesting ... despite the choice of music very original. A big plus for Novitski with clean-shaven; For cons, the costume is enough Khokhlova hmmm ... "Annoying"! whew ...

And we jump in South Korea on 4 Continents ...

* As each Olympic season on 4 Continents suffered from a lack of big names .... But ... There were some good moments skating anyway ...

* Good times: The program runs from Kevin Reynolds, the free programs Adam Rippon, Ryan Bradley, Shawn Sawyer and Tatsuki Machida. The free dance Weaver / Poje. The short program
Amanda Dobbs, who allowed him to overtake Mao Asada, nothing less. The short program Akiko Suzuki. The short program McLaughlin / Brubaker (and say that this program has been in my sledgehammer Grand Prix ...).

* The free program is part of Denis Ten of the few bad memories of this competition ... (

* Despite his look of consolation competition for skaters who could not qualify for the Games (with the exception of Mao Asada, Akiko Suzuki and Zhang), 4 Continents was a beautiful competition.

It's very abstract ... but we must now prepare for the Olympics ... :) What
