Yup, heard from Mireille by sms that Kevin is doing fine. He's having fun with Ruben Blommaert and she got to talk to Jenna too.

and www.glssport.be/Pers/Detail.aspx?ID=19941LOL Ske, I had pics where Kevin looked better, but then Jenna not, etc,., And its not like I have ages here to sort and edit pics, will post a better one when I am home, ok? Yesterday in practice Kevin landed all jumps, not sure if he tried a quad tho, can't ony focus on him when taking pics ofthe others too, but he didn't look happy doing so, which was on the contrary to the clean landings. Maybe he's just a bit unsure about sth, could be anything, so not concluding anything from it. He looked happy after. The interaction with Ruben was that Kevin did a runthrough without jumps (yes really Titia first time I saw that I think, instead of the other way around) then Kevin said bye, to direct after gesturing to Ruben that "your turn"...all laughed. Thats where the pic in Euros Dailies (on AS) comes from. Ok off for the day!

Kevin skated pretty well. He took his time before he presented himself, saying a little prayer. Looked a bit nervous too. He landed the quad with one hand down on the ice but was able to make a combination with a double toe-loop? Anyway, his triple axel was fine, also because I saw him fail that one several times during the warm-up. His spins were ok, so was his overall program, maybe a bit slow here and there. He seemed to be not 100% satisfied, but ok with it. It was like his face said: "Could have done better but hey, could have done a lot worse too!" And ofcourse in the kiss&cry typical Kevin actions The Dutch commentary don't agree with Brian his score *grins* and were very pleased with Ruben Blommaert his performance. 15 years old, for the first time at Europeans and he qualified for the Free Program. Way to go Ruben and way to go Kevin!!! Now about rehanging the banner, does Kevin know about the picture? You have to ask him Mireille, I'm sure he didn't know he was practically having his own Belgian cheering section ;D Jenna is looking good, please say hi to her and her parrents will you?

Ruben did great for his first euros! Kevin seemed to be feeling the pressure though... Didn't really like the way he seemed to be doubting so long before his first jump. The french commentator said the same thing, and that this probably caused the little mistake with the hand on the ice.
Overall though, it was a good program, and Kevin shouldn't feel bad about it. And it seems everyone missed a few things except tomas verner...
I also thought Joubert was marked very high for the mistakes in his program, but I guess that's the advantage of being the current champion...
Hope they all skate great tomorrow!
I think generally Jenna takes great pictures, haven't seen her on much pictures where she didn't look good...

Generally yes, yesterday no, but of course I dont publish pics that look real bad (try to) Kevin was a bit careful because he didnt want to fall on his hip, hence the hesitation. (concluding from some gestures in the warm up) He was laughing right after the program (and yes I got a pic to prove it) I think because of double lutz, that seemed more a phocus problem than anything else. He was SOO happy after the triple axel. Totally hilarious was the way he took seat on the couch, leaning backwards like saying ók I did my job, lets see what it brings'. Didnt see anybody sit soo relaxed in it, lol The SP is live actually pretty cool I havent spoken to him yet, and to Jenna only in passing by. The accreditated section is on the other site of the all event ticks on (and btw no assigned seating SUCKS) so I hope to run into him in the hotel instead, dont wanna bother him by smsing or something. Ruben btw was totally thrilled and hyper and happy,... as he should be And he cheered for Kevin with his own Belgian flag, very cute ETA: Titia, he had to walk up all the stairs (you come inside on the first row) directly facing the banner, but knowing Kevin I wouldnt be surprised if he hasnt seen it at all
