Pre Juv Men Free Program

Skaters are listed in start order. Because this was closed marking, there was very little time between each skater and I was having trouble finishing my notes before the next skater was starting their program. That means that just because I haven’t noted a jump or spin, doesn’t mean that the skater didn’t do it – it just means that I didn’t get it written down.

CAN Qwynn Dalmer Start 1 Place 4
Notes taller of the 2 that were both wering white shirts with bow tie strung around neck / business of love / nice 1a 1z1l / 2s1t barely hung on to toe / did the slipts on entry to cam spin / front spiral is weak back better / bad pick going into lutz & fell / stt ftwrk was very nice good steps & very musical into 1f / 1a2t is good / 2t almost tripped stepping forward / loop didn't get off ice / flycam had nice fly but he couldn't hold it and hopped a couple of times then almost fell / in spite of the errors it was a very enjoyable skate and he moves well with good musicality /

CAN Shane Firus Start 2 Place 1

CAN Graeme Gordan Start 6 Place 5

Juvenile Men Free Program

Again, with the closed marking I was having trouble finishing notes on one skater before the next was on the ice so I’ve missed some of the elements in my notes.
