ISU EUROPEAN FIGURE SKATING CHAMPIONSHIPS 2020, GRAZ, AUSTRIA,

MONDAY 20TH - SUNDAY 26TH JANUARY 2020

So on WEDNESDAY 22ND JANUARY competition began at the ISU EUROPEAN FIGURE SKATING CHAMPIONSHIPS 2020, GRAZ, AUSTRIA, with the MEN SP, which was due to commence at 11.30 local time/10.30 UK time/13.30 Moscow time.

BOBa was scheduled to be the 20th skater to take to the ice (3rd out in the 4th warm up group), at 14.15 local time/13.15 UK time/16.15 Moscow time, out of the 35 in this competition.

But first up it will be one more practice session in the morning 🙂 !

So on WEDNESDAY 22ND JANUARY in the MEN SP at the ISU EUROPEAN FIGURE SKATING CHAMPIONSHIPS 2020, GRAZ, AUSTRIA, BOBa placed a very credible 17th out of 35 with a score of 70.04 that included the 16th highest TES.

Despite being called as under rotated, BOBa felt that his 4T was clean! I agree with him, but you can make up your own mind?

The MEN FS commenced at 18.30 local time/17.30 UK time/13.30 Moscow time on THURSDAY 23RD JANUARY with BOBa scheduled to be the 8th skater to take to the ice (2nd out in the 2nd warm up group), at 19.39 local time/18.39 UK time/21.39 Moscow time, out of the 24 in this competition.

First up it was one last official practice session in the morning 🙂 !

At the draw for the free skate...BOBa can seen just behind the head of the eventual champion, Dima Aliev of Russia.

Inside Skating: 'Not the best day for Vladimir Litvintsev’s jumps, but what an elegant skater he is. A great welcome from the audience in Steiermarkhalle as well.'

Inside Skating: 'Vladimir Litvintsev is a ballet dancer – and this music, “Hallelujah”, embraces him so well. Pure, beautiful skating from Vladimir at 2020 Europeans. “Now I’m going to prepare for the World Junior Championships and for Worlds in Montreal. Yesterday I was watching the others at the arena and one of the journalists decided to do an interview with me. He asked if I’m a big fan of figure skating. My answer was quite obvious: Sure, I’m even going to go skating soon”.'
