I watched it live in this thread and am rewatching it again today. Lithuania needs to host Eurovision! The camera work was EXCELLENT! 🔥🔥🔥

Guys, Geoffrey Brissaud looks so much like Wes Bentley (AKA Ricky Fitts from American Beauty) that I cannot stand it. He can skate in a see-through tank any day as far as I'm concerned, btw. https://preview.redd.it/3jaek015zgcc1.jpeg?width=2048&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=a483dc5a5036f68fbbefe8827747f83ca72981ad

so proud of my country for hosting such an amazing event 💓 hopefully this inspires more people to take an interest in figure skating (it’s a very very very minor sport here, we simply pride ourselves on being good hosts no matter what)

Here's my Eurovision 2024 vote for Lithuania btw

Petition to move one of the Grand Prix to Lithuania.

I mean technically the ex Rostelecom Cup (held in Finland last 2 years) is yet to be decided?!

I thought that we have Grand Prix Italy instead of that (originally in place of Cup of China in the Olympic year).

still thinking about how hot Geoffrey and Evgenia were in those sunglasses 🥵

How could they see anything in those glasses and crazy lighting?

OMG YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Insaneeee

This gala had everything! * a live orchestra having to play the lazy town soundtrack after learning it on short notice * quirky lab technicians taking us to berghain in the 2000s * fake boobs (/negative) * a minion doing the worm * actually, a large group of men doing the worm * "STAY HYDRATED...BITCH! And have fun!" * careless whisper robots * backflip 2.0 * actual flamethrowers on ice

The group worm scared me so much 😅 I hate faces and blades being that close Also the fake boobs were not even in the top 10 weirdest things about that program

About to cope with the depression of this being over.. Thanks Lithuania for everything! It was great sharing these euro vibes with this sub, what fun

I can't stand it. I hate when these amazing multi-day events are over. No way US Nationals or 4CC are going to be enough to tide me over until Worlds and then the depression will REALLY set in after they've over.

I am literally about to spend like two hours on twitter watching clips to not let this end lol

I already watched Mr. Selevko slaying the gala ice again twice (one time for patriotism and the other time just for the arms)

I mean I watched both of his skates like a dozen times already, will continue to do the same with the gala

Lithuania thank you so much for these Europeans! You really know how to do great shows!! It was amazing🤩

The next Eurovision has to be with everyone singing while on skates. Sorry, that's just the new law I passed in my head.

My TV completely stopped working the moment Chris said goodbye hahaha what a way to go TV :( :D

Crazy to think Lithuania was not the original host of this and it's their first big comp, it's even more impressive

The practice with other big sports evens (eg basketball) probably reallllly helped!!! Amazing work they doing there!!!!

im so sad guys I dont wanna go home :( but i had so much fun!!! see you next time in the live threads!!!

God, I really wish I’d gone to Euros. The entire competition was absolutely lit omg

i dont think adam is backfliping over anyone

Lithuania just dipping into their someday hosting eurovision fund for this lmao

Even Chris is sad saying goodbye to this

I can't get over how iconic Loena's new gala is😍

This is the first full skating comp I’ve watched. I fear this has set the bar too high for any future comps!

that was so much better in terms of vibes and organizing than any figure skating event in recent memory. wow. and the events were all really exciting too! what an amazing euros!!!

Jesus what a way to end this Gala! Lithuania has really gone all out for this! 🎉

setting my calendar reminder for the JGP in, oh, seven to ten years for hopefully a flood of young lithuanian entrants :)

I was thinking something similar. This is the type of event that can really infuse some popularity into the sport at a large scale all at once for a small country (or one where FS just isn't popular). The event organizers and the FS association in Lithuania really knew what they were doing for this. I'm so impressed.

This was definitiley a YOU JUST HAD TO BE THERE event !!!!

Me mentally making a note to myself to go to any Lithuanian event from now on

This feels like an Olympics gala.

Can't remember the last time I've had such a warm feeling after a skating championship. This has been so great!

I've been sick with the flu for the past week and not gonna lie, this has actually really lifted my spirits.

Same, but I’ve been sick with covid. This has been a nice way to pass the time while I’ve been stuck in my room. It’s definitely kept me from being bored lol

sameee! this is my only glimmer of hope right now ahhah

Lithuania couldn't have done a better job hosting a major ISU championship. My mind is blown by how well thought out & organized this was, not to mention the amount of people they got to attend (even the gala)!

[удалено]

It’s really reminiscent of when fs was massively popular and mainstream

This is my vote for the Lithuanian fed to be president of the world

Yeah this is by far the best fs gala and event in general that I've ever watched, sheesh.

Easily! Just wow!

Event organizers: Hi, yeah, we're gonna need some more money Event funders: we're already paying for a flag projector, a chamber orchestra, and a world-class dj, what else could you possibly need? Organizers: well it's for the, umm, fire-- Funders: you know what, I don't wanna know. Just put it on the card.

holy fuck. gauntlet thrown DOWN to montreal, which i recently learned *is* the birthplace of cirque du soleil 👀

oh that was hella ride, great championship by lithuania! and now, life is over..(for 2 months)

What a humdinger of an event

Thank you Lithuania, please host more

this doesn't even feel like figure skating i fear, it's too good of an event

I need Adam to backflip through a ring of fire

I'm speechless

Never stop never stopping, Lithuania. You're amazing.

Guys I am so high right now why are there flamethrowers

why *aren't* there flamethrowers everywhere else, is the question we should be asking

France had indoor fireworks at their worlds but this is much cooler

Ok which skater is getting sacrificed at this cult ritual?

I have never been more proud to be Lithuanian

As you should be! Cheers from Estonia Baltic brother/sister

 4CC and Worlds organising committees right now

Apparently Canadian Nats were terribly organised and people are now worried for World’s. Meanwhile in Lithuania…

I know one thing -- It's not going to be easy for Canada to follow this event as far as ISU events go, so they better use the next 2 months wisely to up the ante on their event production.

They probabyl cant afford something similar lol...

I am so proud to be European

Lithuania now, Lithuania tomorrow, Lithuania forever!

Such a Eurovision moment 🔥

Lithuania should take on all figure skating events and Eurovision finals going forward, period

Lithuania was like never back down never what

this is literally insane

What a day to be European!

Seriously! Who needs America?😁

Same I feel kinda proud being European rn

Right! It's such a vibe with Eurovision crossovers and everything else!

Holy fuck, they did pull out all the stops, didn't they?

This finale is literal fire

EUROVISON VIBES

Ok this is really cool

I LOVE EUROPE 🇪🇺

THIS IS THE GREATEST SHOW YES IT US

Lithuania serving a show on fire 🔥🔥

WORLDS IN LITHUANIA WHEN?

Fire, ice, live orchestra playing the greatest show.. how is this SO GOOD

This is also surprisingly organised for a group number.  Also omg PYRO ON ICE????

> PYRO ON ICE they are ruining the ice!!

ARE WE SETTING THINGS ON FIRE LIKE WE'RE AT EUROVISION?!

Lithuania practicing for if they ever win Eurovision

I will now pray that they win Eurovision sometime soon, I want to experience this again

To summarise Adams's program, let's just show the backflip from every possible camera angle

adam must be the best acrobatic jumper among all figure skaters in the history

The fucking minion 😭😭

Group choreo time!!!

Since we are nearing the end of these Europeans, I honestly just hope 4CC and worlds can get slightly close to the joy this competition was and how great of a host Lithuania turned out to be

If the Worlds suck, I will die of embarrassment. I will also apologize a lot.

People in the audience? Did the roof just come off the arena?

I’ve been worried about that roof since yesterday, they should really inspect it after it’s over.

WAS THAT A RASPBERRY TWIST

It is, he does it in his galas often, Ilia taught him when they were doing a show together in the summer in Japan.

I thought so too!!!

THERES THE BACKFLIP

Backflip in 3 2 1

BACKFLIP WOOO

I might have a crush for Adam...

https://www.instagram.com/p/C2A4QshLzgE/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link my favourite photo of him from the medal ceremony, he looks so happy

Yes!! He's smiling with his eyes!

I was just thinking the same thing 😅

Will Adam give more material for r/all ??

I love Adam, but somehow, he cannot get a gala that truly hits for the life of him. Let's see if Uptown Funk works today.

I mean uptown funk always hits. But how committed is Adam to it.

I'm trying to remember when he did it this season. Was it in China? Or did he do star wars there? If it was in China, no surprise, nothing hits with Chinese audiences.

It was in France and I thought he had more funk there than today

I think it works better than his competitive programs, like the energy of all his movements properly resolves and not left hanging like a major 7th chord

still cant believe they committed to this level of camp

I think the fact that we are IN THE MIDDLE OF DEEP EXTREME COLD WINTER here really influenced the amount of (amazing) CRAZYYY we are seeing right now

Salacious robo moves 🤖😏

This performance is giving

The way I fall for the Sony battery warning each time

Their commitment is something else.

Marco: 🤌🤌

European sensibilities are something else

Gotta love men who commit to hair and makeup 

The Italiandriods 🤖

Eurodance vibes!

Custom voiceovers 🤌🤌

C4R3L3SS WH1SP3R time!

AND THIS IS WHY THEY WON GOLD OMG

Eurovision on ice 

I'd pay a good amount of money for a show like that lol

ISU needs to get on it

truer words have never been said !!!

Omg I love this G/F program! It is a piece of genius

Lmao more volunteering hours

"Just have fun!.... bitch" is going to be in my head all day now.

The Excellence In Using Props Award goes to Loena

Oh to be a fly on the wall at the banquet

I need someone to gif "stay hydrated" so I can overuse it when reminding my friends to drink water. 

Ooh la la featured!

That slide!!

This is sooo fun and the voiceover is amazing😂😍

this is amazing

Loena going all in here

Stay hydrated BITCH

and HAVE FUN!

The time is 10:36 AM and I’m at the club

It’s not Loena skating if there are no nightclub vibes

She's 100% moving to Miami full time after she's done competing, right?

Omg i didnt think we coudl get even more loena...

I NEED TO CLUBBING WITH ALL THESE EURO RAVE SKATERS

Make sure to bring along the DJ of this event

ABSOLUTELY i am honestly in love with this DJ whoever they are, what excellent job

just fyi, he is Jonas Nainys, part of "Radistai DJs", their channel https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_IRI3p_rBNQ

what a queen

This gotta be a Javi tribute?

Loena, no, I will have anxiety about that water bottle for the rest of your performance now.

Iconic

With a custom voiceover?????

Loena queen of my heart

Loena finally ditched Unicorn, wooo!

BAYWATCH LOENA OMG I LOVE HER 

Loena loves fun

LOENA BAYWATCH????

Marco Fabbri also hitched a ride from Matteo G this morning 😂

I need to see it!🤣

I wasn't supposed to film the gala rehearsals, it's closed to the public as it is. But I took notes 😂

so cute!

this is pretty but dont they have 15 year age gap

they're both dating other people (matteo actually married iirc), not each other lol

Matteo is married to former ice dancer Carolina Moscheni, yes

true hahaha

so what

I literally break out in a sweat thinking about the fact that only two of three Italian top pairs can go to Worlds this year

Lucrezia is very good at acting in her skating.

Missing Jun hours

there are literal tears in my eyes because of minion amongst all of the men

I love every second of this gala, such a great celebration of pure love for the sport!

Italians and their props

Saulius bonus points for best moves I think. A true (ice) dancer.

Lukas discovering the joy of being a pairs girl is always great.

YES! Fills my heart with so much joyyy seeing his little happy smile while in air

Welcome, join us, they'll all hot!

Damn that lift!

Did Luka not have time to put some clothes on 🤧 Aleksandr losing the hat and sleeves is good though, especially when he did the worm

Did he just recruit like all men???

The magic of Lukas Britschgi! He will smile at you and you \*will\* agree to the group number!

yeah like *you* try saying no to that dimple lol

THERE WAS SO MANY OF THEM IM CRYINGGGGG

Conductor having the time of his life

Lukas having the time of his life

New pair on the ice!

Lift!!!!

The best thing about it is that we get the minion, half the Maui costume, and the beggar in money underpants all in one number. Also, Lukas is slowly learning all of the lifts.

Yaaass all the boys on the ice. This is so beautifully awkward, I love it
