Schedule

sometimes at eurosport bulgaria there are two men who are commenting the figure skating and their main task seem to be to decide which female skaters are the best looking ones. Their favourite one is Keira from Finland-they never forget to mention how pretty she is. During the men's qualifications she was at the stands to support a not very gifted finnish skater. They joked with the poor man and said that Keira was the only good thing for the day.

Some commentators don't ever learn, do theY????
They should stick to the skating theme, really..

Also, I think at 2004 Worlds, he watched Navka's OD and said, "I have ants in my kitchen that can do that footwork," which, since it was absurdly easy footwork, was incredibly hilarious. To me.

He was right

Grace, please check your PMs. :wink

This comment made me cry of laughing so much!!! :dying

This is one of the most hilarious comments I have ever heard in skating!!!

hey

I have some things to add
Romanian commentators aren't very good either. I remember it was a huge discussion about it last year on the Eurosport forum...after criticizing some of them so much, they changed them...switched them between competitions (it was good though that they did not ignored the demands of the viewers)

As for mistakes....uhh, many. I can't remember them. They always, always have the names spoken out wrong.

somebody here mentioned Kostomarov's funny "new name". Well, ours did the same with his name...

They were praising over and over and over and over Navka and Kostomarov and usually leaders. It didn't matter if they were good or not. They said: "Look at the syncronization! It's amazing!! Such a unison has never been seen" - when it was so obvious that they were not in syncron at all..in fact, they had a little mistake as well... I was so mad!! They were practically lying into your face.

...and many more...

Yes, I was surprised too I have no idea how did this happen, but it was good. Even if commentators were not better (we have only one good commentator...and that's all. But in combination with another one...hmm...it's not so great. Sometimes they contradict eachother ) at least they tried to do smth.

I hope they'll take measures in Fr too

Thanks I promised to visit you this week, so, here I am

About our Eurosport commentators - last season they were 3 ( ) - Vitomir - the "professional" commentator , Nayden Borichev who is an individual skater and will go at the Euros (GOOOOO, NAYDEN ) and during the ice dance competition - Ina also was there But now, I think Vitomir will be alone, unless if Ina comes back from Moscow

This year our very good Eurosport commentator has stopped, Joan Haanappel, a skater from the past, she was just wonderful!!! Now I even don't know if figure skating will be broadcasted in Holland....I really hope so...euro's without watching the programs and skaters would be terrible

Spanish commentators never praised N\K! They just stated what was happening...that they were winning but were not the best couple!

Maybe they did this, because they had no idea of what's happening. Oh sorry, I don't want to be mean .Only one was praising them....the smart one was trying to fix the other one's mistakes

I am sooo happy for them! I can hardly wait!for the beginning of the competition!

I am very happy to understand they are fine,and i wish them to feel great for the hole EC... and something intresting i found today,an interview with Piseev(i am posting only the part concerning A&M)
"В танцах у две очень хорошие, перспективные пары, способные выиграть медали - Оксана Домнина - Максим Шабалин и Яна Хохлова - Сергей Новицкий. Однако претендовать на золото Домниной и Шабалину будет очень сложно, учитывая, что их соперниками будут действующие чемпионы мира Албена Денкова и Максим Ставийский из Болгарии. Они обладают огромным авторитетом, по имеющейся информации, готовятся очень серьезно и к тому же, проводят в любительском фигурном катании последний сезон"
Well i don't understand very well russian, but i think that Mr Piseev admits that our Albi&Max are the best right now

He also said it's their last season (hope never dies! )

We should write it somewhere! He told the truth - which happens once in a lifetime!

Dear fans!
What you say of the boss of the Russian Fed, is a big surprise! BUT, he says that it's Albena and Maxims' last season... so, he is hoping, wanting them to stop, you know why... :
