Kevin Aymoz didn‘t pull out of the competition, he just didn‘t qualify for the free skate after the disaster that his performance was. He actually came second to last. And given his history of not pulling himself together after messing up a jump, the federation should‘ve sent someone else. He came in 7th at French Nationals, a month before Europeans. It‘s actually beyond me why they sent him to Europeans after his Free Skate at French Nationals, where he again gave up completely. They could‘ve sent someone else and give them a fair shot. They should‘ve seen this coming and taken action in time and taking care of his mental and physical health, he really looked distraught after his short program..
As much as I adore Kevin, I agree 😕 I heard that he begged his federation to be sent to the Europeans instead of François Pitot. His federation gave him a chance over another very talented skater but he threw away this chance by completely giving up during his performance, he basically took away the rightful place of François for just wasting it away... I am glad that he is taking a break for the rest of this season, I hope he gets all the support he needs. And I hope that François will have opportunities to compensate for this
It was so bad, sad and hard to watch, he completely gave up...
It’s completely mental, he even said it himself on instagram. In the kiss and cry at French nationals he was saying that he had messed up his entire career etc.
now he's pulled out of worlds but theres only 2 spots so only adam and luc can go :( pitot deserved better
François Pitot will likely get Junior Worlds, so it was not the end of the season for him. But yes, an experience at Europeans would have been nice for him, as he transitions into seniors. And France has only two spots for next Euros (sad face emoji).
I was watching live. The bronze ice dancers were special. He came from where the comp was hosted. The crowd was so happy their guy got a medal. It made the whole competition for me.
I loved that they got to experience what Juulia and Matthias did last season! Bronze in front of the home crowd🥹
IT WAS AMAAAAZING!!!
Screw the haters, you’re the reason I started watching figure skating. Before I always thought it was a cool sport and would watch it whenever the olympics came on (2018,2022) but thanks to you Paola, I’m so invested and have been for the last two years, thanks :)
aww i'm happy to hear that 🤗thank you for watching!
Same here! 💕 I’m a fan now
Same she got me addicted to figure skating. ❤
me too!!
Adam literally dunked on the competition in the free skate with that backflip. Super gutsy move from a fearless skater. Looking forward to seeing what else he's got in store.
It was soooo cool!!
As an Estonian I'm so happy you're talking about Aleksandr Selevko and I'm still amazed by his performances! He hasn't been consistant in his skating, probably that's why you don't know his name. Hopefully he will be more known now. He has younger brother Mihhail who is also a skater (and sometimes even better than Aleksandr, but this time he failed in his short programme. I hope they become consistant and one day figure skating world knows and fears the Selevko brothers. 😀
I've loved the Selevbros for a few years now and they def were the highlight of the competition🥰 Aleksandr's reactions to Mihhail's short were devastating and I'm sure everyone at home and in the arena reacted the same way🥺 And Mihhail filming Aleksandr's free skate scores was soooo cute THEY'RE JUST ADORABLE
Aleksandr really skated for both of them in the free
I was there! Everyone fell in love with Aleksandr after that amazing free, me included lol
As I understand it, not only does the backflip grant no points, but it actually also incurs a deduction. Insane confidence that he would win even with that.
Yep, he got a two-point deduction for it, as he knew that he would. It was a pretty arrogant move, considering that there was still one competitor left to skate after him, but Adam is way better than anyone else in Europe and he knows it. If Malinin had done it I would have been annoyed, but Adam is so loveable that I didn't mind.
Adam's backflips during competitive programs are getting on my nerves. Completely different reasoning for the backflip at Euros vs. Worlds, and I was happy that he medaled at Worlds with that amazing free skate after a disastrous short program - but I was kind of hoping he'd miss out on a medal/placement by less than two points to teach him not to flaunt the rules.
I’m surprised you didn’t talk about the weight loss tv show where eteri will be a mentor. This is insane
Aleksandr Selevko has been my favourite since nhk, both him and his brother have absolutely captured my heart
The Galas are one of the best parts of competitions. Also, Allison and Saulius aren't the only locals, but they're the ones that made it so high.
Jesus take the wheel landing😂 lmao this is the saying of the month
Also as a small note: backflip is banned meaning -2 points
I'm so used to American figure skating events playing to seas of empty seats that the first clip was jarring!
I love Loena but ISU’s favoritism towards her has become unpleasant. In her Europeans SP, both her jumps in her 3Lz+3T combo were underrotated and she had a very obvious edge problem on her Lz. But she only got q for her Lz and her other mistakes weren’t called. In the FP, her Lz edge was not called again and she had several rotation problems that were ignored by the juries. She got minimal deductions for her visible bad landings. Her face looked extremely nervous until she finished all her jumps and she couldn’t connect to the music at all until the last minute of her program. But she still got extremely generous GOEs and Pcs scores. Meanwhile, the other girls, especially Nina, were judged too harshly. They gave q to FOUR jumps of Nina to make her fall behind Loena, but Nina's TES score was still significantly higher than Loena, so they also butchered Nina's Pcs to make Loena win. They also gave low GOEs to Anastasia's jumps even though her jumps were better than Loena's. Everyone was rightfully calling out ISU when the juries were ignoring the technical errors of Shcherbakova and other Eteri girls and inflating their scores, but I find it strange that nobody is calling out ISU for doing the exact same thing for Loena.
A few days before the Europeans, ISU posted the defending European Champions and they posted a picture of Loena instead of Anastasia. People naturally got angry and they deleted the post and shared it again with a picture of Anastasia, but they didn't apologize for their disrespect to Anastasia and Georgia. They did something similar when promoting for Grand Prix de France. They posted some slides stating that European Champions were going to complete at the competition, they posted the European Champions of all 3 disciplines but they didn't post Anastasia even though she was competing too.
Another strange thing happened a few weeks ago. ISU announced the candidates for Figure Skating Awards. The Most Valuable Skater award aims to reward the most successful skater of the previous season. ISU nominated Shoma, Kaori, Chock/Bates, Miura/Kihara (all of whom are last year’s World Champions), Adam (last year’s European Champion), Ilia and Loena (last year’s Champions of nothing, lol). I really don’t understand why Ilia and Loena were nominated instead of Haein Lee and Guignard/Fabbri... Haein became Four Continents Champion and World Silver Medalist (she surpassed even Kaori and became first in World Team Trophy), Guignard/Fabbri became European Champions and World Silver Medalists. Last season, Ilia and Loena didn’t win anything, they didn’t even get Silver Medal at Worlds... (Now don’t tell me about Ilia’s Quad Axel because he already got the Special Achievement Award for Quad Axel in the previous year.) ISU is just extremely biased and needs to go through a serious revolution. As much as I love Loena and usually enjoy her performances, this type of favoritism and injustice leaves a very bad taste in my mouth
I think it‘s funny how both Loena‘s and Kaori‘s edge calls (!) just suddenly disappeared after the olympic season. But I think it‘s just an attempt of the ISU trying to keep high scores in the ladies event without the russians.
At Europeans2023 (the first Euopeans without the Russians), the 200 score wasn‘t broken by the winner in the ladies event. That‘s the first time since over 10 years that it wasn‘t surpassed (even before the +5 GOE change!). It was kind of embarrassing for the ISU not only having this setback in scores, but also Gubanova, a Russian born, winning. So now in 2024 we have the result of that. Not calling edges and underrotations in order to keep people on the podium and the scores high..
Just as extra information: I think everyone‘s wrong edge and q or < should be called. It‘s wrong that the favourites get away with that, it was already wrong when some russians got away with their flutzes but now we know that it‘s not just the russians who are favoured
💯And can we stop calling that misplaced, lackluster, bobbing squat a “duck walk”? That’s not what that is. I know this was on ice, not a runway, so it’s going to be different no matter what. But none of her arm work pays any homage to ballroom or vogueing, even I can see that.
i would also like to include that i find loenas choreography way to arm based and boring. it doesnt feel her upper body is moving at all besides the arms. yes she might be energetic and fast but if your choreography is only moving your arms, for me thats not artistically pleasing.
Want to say congratulations 🎉to all the people who put on arranged and organised this event - one of the BEST organised figure skating events in a very very long time - the people on the ground often honestly don’t get enough credit - thank you so much ❤🎉
I was there, watching the competition live. It was fantastic, my dream come true 🥰
I’m so happy for you. I hope one day I’ll be in the audience too❤
@@TheKatedog Thank you, I hope so too!❤️ All figure skating fans deserve to see it live at least once
yay for loena serving and a guest performance from gabby and guillaume but katya coming fourth last year and not even making the free this year just shattered my heart in every way possible :c
She’s not in shape unfortunately :(
I am so sad that she got one below qualifying too, she was so close!!!
Saying this with all my ❤ cause I LOVE Katya but i think that was a "call" like wake up from cinderella story you better work bit**
Europeans really went „this competition is gay AND European!” and I love that so much
you just HAD to insert gays here too didn't you?
proud to say that the person who uploaded the viral tiktok of lopareva and brissaud is my mutual 💪💪
I really loved the europeans this year, the light of my life, next to Sakamoto, Medvedeva, Kostornaja and Trussova, Livia Kaiser DELIVERED. The short was a clean skate and even tho there were a few lil things that she messed up in the free she hit a new personal over all record.
The swiss commentator was crying after her short because of pure pride. I hope she keeps it up, even tho we most likely won't see the swiss ladies at 2026 olympics, simply because we do not have enough skaters who are at that level. It'd be so cool to see them in some kind of placement at international comps. Could you maybe at some point scratch on them a little bit, I think it'd do a lot for the swiss skaters, to be seen a bit more. Love your Videos, keep doing what your doing
Livia Kaiser was simply amazing 😊 I love Kimmy Repond and Lukas Britschgi too, I was really sorry when they couldn’t do very well at the Europeans, but I am rooting for them to succeed in the Worlds ♥️
You will most certainly see a Swiss lady at the Olympics! You have two strong women -- who knows, you may even see two. It would depend on whether they would qualify two spots at the 2025 Worlds.
PAOLAAAA KAMILAAAAAAAAAAAA
Paola!!! Please please please make a video on Kamila’s ban!! So sad 😢
Omg, my reaction watching Adam free was so much like yours! I was praying after every jump, they were all weird, the landings were not pretty and almost gave me a heart attack!! lol! But just one thing, Kevin didn’t withdraw, he didn’t qualify, It was sad to watch, I kind of wish he did withdraw, before that horrible short. And he is not the best guys in France anymore, did you forget that my beloved Adam, the European champion is French! Lol. Adam is the number one man in France now, I love Kevin too but he needs to recover, I can’t see another competition like that! He started so well this season after that wonderful performance at worlds last year! I like crying of happiness Kevin not that!!
I had the opportunity to see it in person. Kaunas is only about 300 km from where I live. It was magnificent.
WE NEED A VIDEO ABOUT KAMILA
I was so happy when Aleksandr won silver! Thanks for rewiew!!
PAOLA GIRLIE WE HAVE SOME NEWS ABOUT KAMI
LMAO I CAME STAIGHT TO THIS CHANNEL TO SEE
@@kaidolt RIGHT LIKE I’VE HEARD IT ON THE NEWS AT DINNER AND WAS LIKE “OH SHIT”
PAOLA! KAMILA!! 😨
TALK ABOUT KAMILA AND ISABUE'S DEFEAT. FIGURE SKATING IS CHANGING
For us swiss, it could have gone better 😅 Lukas and Kimmy did so well last year but sadly couldn't repeat that this year 😔 And omg it was so hard to watch kevin 😭😭
Yes it was really unfortunate that Lukas and Kimmy couldn’t do very well this time, but at least Livia managed to deliver 2 beautiful performances ☺️
i know i was so sad for lukas, i had high hopes after the short :(
Adam has become the definition of iconic
Fuck around, fuck alot this was a badass European championship to remember
I love the Europeans !! It was so much fun!! Adam is my life!! He is my number one man in the moment! I love him above all others! I don’t love a male skater so much since Yzuro! I still like the others but now Adam is my baby!! I was so happy with his victory and his “I’m so much better than everyone else here and I can loose points” backflip was the Moment for me!!! And I finally love Leona victory! I took me a long time to warm up to her but I think her new programs (they are not my favorite style, but even so) are the most memorable ones this season! The ones that could go viral!! She is getting attention for the sport and I love her for it! I was really really happy with her victory!
Hi ! I saw in his story/insta post (in French) that he also wanted to take a break for his mental health because competition was being too stressful for him, so lets hope the best for him :( !!
Love Kamila! Her skating speaks for itself
The title made me laugh so much😂 also it’s almost 2 years since the olympics like whattttt
1:45 I was so happy for Allison Reed (Chris and Cathy Reed's little sister) finally getting a medal at Europeans, as she has been around competing there since seems like forever: she competed at the 2010 Winter Olympics at only 16 representing Georgia, then skated with a new parter for Israel and has been partnering with Saulius for Lithuania for 5/6 years iirc. She tried to get the Lithuanian citizenship to be ellegible for the 2022 Olympics but to no avail.
I don’t think we’ll se more of Matteo Rizzo this season. He performed at this europeans with a hip injury, serious enough to get him out of Italian nationals, and he will get surgery for it on febrary 2
The irony oh how good euros were in Lithuania is how underrepresented the sport is over there. And the lack of skate shops and rinks really don't help things either. As an adult skater it's been a nightmare ever since I've moved there from UK. Nearest city with a rink is 45min drive and neither of the 2 rinks offer patch ice so you're stuck training in public sessions. To get new skates it was equally as painful, because of the lack of stock and options. The shop I managed to finally get the skates I wanted (which had to be backordered) didn't even have an ability to heat mould my boots. The environment is really not great to nurture the sport over there.
Can you put flashing lights on the description or ahead of time? Hendricks' performance is gorgeous. Love the beyonce/madonna and that costume.
As a Czech, we had an absolute rollercoaster of emotions this year, but at least we can finally see a small light at the end of the tunnel.
The Mrazek siblings were great, especially when considering this was their first senior Worlds and how young and inexperienced they are compared to the rest of the field. They honestly seem to have too much energy for their own good at times.
The Taschler siblings were in my opinion underscored in the free dance, should have ended up above the Finnish pair. Huge kudos for both of them because this was spectacular performance after not being able to practice for most of the season because of Filip's injury.
Georgii Reshtenko delivered in a great fashion for his standards. This was the first time he didn't make me want to pull my hair out.
Georgii Reshtenko was super impressive. And Czechia now has two spots for men at the next Euros -- must be exciting for you guys.
as a georgian, i'm so glad you're paying more attention to anastasia gubanova😭
I actually watched the whole of the gala for the first time! Thank Lithuania!
Those were for sure my favorite Europeans especially the bronze medal from Lithuania
I love your videos!! I would love to go see each person there, their solo duo whatever, but I don't know their names....
i don't know if it's something you could do, but i would love to see the names on screen! :D
I feel for Kevin 😢 he reminds me of Anna Pogarilaya. Makes me anxious. I really hope he pulls through and surprises all of us ❤️
Woooof! I’ve never been so fast to a video. You are keeping me entertained and up to date with all things figure skating!
Also, your Team Tuberitze videos are fantastic. 😘
This inspired me so much, i didn't started figure skating as a child so i thought i wouldn't be able to progress, but seeing your video made me so happy.
I'm going to the ice rink tomorrow!
omg i'm so glad i could help in any way🤗Good luck at the rink!
Omg you need to look up the Selevko brothers. Annulus on your server introduced him to me, and I love both Aleksandr and Mihhail. And yeah, consistency and the Selevbros curse is the name of the game with those two. When one does well the other flops. But they're both wonderful.
On Anastasiia, I don't mind her skating, but I do have problems with the fact that she is Russian, training in Russia, but representing Georgia.
given just how infernal skate canada is being with organizing and fee charging i think we should just give up the grand prix spot to kaunas, lithuania
Skate Canada is truly the worst... Every year it has many unfair scoring incidents too 😕 I wish Lithuania became a regular host of Grand Prix instead of Canada
@@sirena3470 $500 dollars for a ticket at worlds in montreal...we need to shut down this organization lol
If youre interested can you cover synchronized skating? Your videos keep me updated in the skating world because I've become to lazy to watch them 😅
I don't have all of the technical expertise as the judges, but from my point of view as a fan, personally I would have flipped the podium for the ladies: 1 Nina, 2 Nastya, 3 Leona. I really think Nina, with another year to mature, if she can bump that PCS and clean up those landings, she will be a force. Maybe up there competing with the best from Japan, Korea, and maybe even Russia.
if you ever start making eurovision videos i would love this channel even more
I love your videos girl but I think I have to quit watching them because they are starting to give me epilepsy 😢 The clips change too quickly
copyright!
Ohh that sucks. Maybe you could listen to them like a podcast.
I hope everything's alright ❤️
@@viktoor7245 I know that's unfortunate 😭😭
I wish I could play more but the ISU always copyrights me 😥. This one took 2 reedits bc of copyright
can you review the synchro budapest cup?
That minion is valid lmao
If I wanted to watch the whole competition does someone knows where I could do that?
ISU has a TH-cam channel of its own. I watch most of the Comps streamed from there.
Anyone know why Kaori wasn’t there
Because Japan is not in Europe, these were the european championships
European championship, so given that Kaori is Japanese, she couldn't compete here.
Because it is Europeans, she isn't European
Thx
I love Eurovision hehe
213 , 25 points for the winner at a European Championship .... A disgrace....🌐
I wish someone would post Aymoz's skate, I've looked all over and can't find it anywhere. So annoying. And why are you playing all your videos flipped?
Hey, where are you from?
GIRL drop the Tutberize video rn
my two worlds are converging and i am HERE for it
Why do the French have ugly jumps? That axis is so bad.
yeey
Kevin did not drop out of Europeans, he did not qualify because only the top 24 skaters and he came second last. Also he is a support of Child Sexual Assault so would not reccomend supporting him
ISU should stop being hypocrite and let Russians skate again, Israel and other countries are I worse conflicts but shamelessly still allowed
That’s not how it works😅
Nope you're right about Coldplay, It doesn't fit ice skatting.
YES IT DOES
It depends. When Adam Rippon used it for his "Fly on" program, it was spot on and gorgeous.
@@carolinev5426 Shib sibs skated to Coldplay during Pyeongchang olympics, that programme always makes me cry
I had to skip ahead and then stop watching. I guess you did this editing style to avoid copyright, but it's not watchable even though I enjoy your videos.
The reason why Georgia was invited is still unclear, since Georgia is not Europe.
Georgia, Azerbaijan and Armenia are at the intersection of Europe and Asia, so it’s understandable that they compete in European division. But I don’t understand why Israel competes in European division, it’s completely located in Middle East and really far away from Europe 🤔
Also yes to the party they had at resurfacing time on men sp🎉🎡🎠🎆🎢🎤 MY GOD looked like a feria de pueblo
