Career

Season 2018/19

For the current season, Fentz has kept his freestyle for the hit series Game of Thrones , he runs the short program for "Blue Skies" by Sam Harris . Both programs are choreographed by Mark Pillay.

He planned to compete in Oberstdorf for the 50th anniversary of the Nebelhorn Trophy at the end of September , but had to cancel the competition due to a bruised hip. About a month later he took second place at the "Golden Bear" in Zagreb behind the Italian Daniel Grassl .

Fentz celebrated one of his best appearances at the Cup of Russia in Moscow . Without a quadruple jump, but with a clean program, he took 5th place after the short freestyle. Among other things, he ranked ahead of the third place in the World Cup, Mikhail Koljada from Russia, and the silver medalist from Skate Canada , Keegan Messing from Canada . With that he secured a place in the last group of the freestyle. He only showed three of the planned quadruple toe loop at the beginning, but did not let that unsettle him and made six more triple jumps, including two triple axels. He got 220.57 points in the overall standings and finished his second Grand Prix appearance in a strong sixth place.
