Considering that the livestream is on Dailymotion, I want to minimize my risk of getting caught by the company that filmed the competition. (I don't know if it cares that a couple of fans post copies of its videos, but I'd rather err on the side of caution---there must be a reason why the livestream isn't archived.) I only upload a small number of vids, anyway.

TGee told me why - it's money. Well, your videos your choice. But I thought I should give you the heads up.

Do you have Bruce Waddel in junior men SP?

Do you have Bruce Waddel in junior men SP?

No, unfortunately I don't. I wasn't able to watch the last group and a half or so of the Junior Men.

 

[SnowWhite]

I'm in loooooooooooove with Roman's new SP!!!

The channel went offline before Nam's score was calculated, so this was the Top 5 (as best as I can recall) before it went blank.

1. Roman Sadovsky 78.24
2. Stephen Gogolev 76.32
3. Bennet Toman 73.06 (or was it 73.86? I can't read my own writing... )
4. Nicolas Nadeau 66.08
5. Liam Firus 63.09

I'm 90% sure Nam ended up 6th, though I didn't catch his score.

I have no idea, I was so confused in the arena when they weren't there. I didn't see them around, but I did see Marie-France there I believe.

ETA:

I'm just going to leave this here: https://youtu.be/uFpCQsKRLJU
Don't need to say more, do I?

He was so good. Everyone watching loved him. After Stephen's scores were announced, Nic Nadeau got up to leave the rink and as he walked by everyone was clapping for Stephen's scores and Nic was so funny. He was joking, making faces like "how can I compete with that". He had everyone around laughing.

archives are open now... but the search function in archives is not available as it causes too much stress on the server. So in other words, we will be able to find this thread easily to see videos and so on.

Early in the season of course ...

Roman's new programs is great!! I love it...

I also loved Nic's... too bad about the 3A but the 4t-3t was almost there... not sure why he is doing a 3loop... i mean he has a gorgeous 3flip and his 3lutz is fine... perhaps it's a place holder for a 4loop??? since he did that in the long last year....

Nammmmmmy : i love his program... now this is how one can use a super well-known song without using it LOL... i am sure he will figure out his jumps as he had done so last year at nationals... so i am not worried about him ... i think the growth spurt awkwardness is behind him. He looked so much faster than before... and that could also be a factor about missing jumps... as he used to take half an hour to set everyone of them.. now they are more part of the program.

Benett was very good... He is a good looking fellow too... perhaps he wants to go to the games with Alaine so he is upping his game too.. nice quad for him,, I am not sure I had seen him land one in competition before.

Stephen has improved a lot. Very solid. Very fast. Great positions in the last spin... very creative.

Liam... oh well... sorry buddy...

Edrian... SIGH... i love the program... it's the same as last year but i wished for technical improvements.

Conrad... another program i was hoping would bite dust but at least, i feel he is skating it with better flow and steps....

and of course Corey's Buckley's Hallelujah... it suits him.. he skates it well... but i am not sure I think this song is great and I am thinking that Chiddy needs a lot of convicing if he wants to get me into that wagon.

I haven't tried it out today but when I was putting together the Minto list I ended up coming across an old thread about a coach in Google located in the Golden Skate archives. I clicked it but I was told I don't have the privileges to do that. Did this get updated recently?

We really need a sticky about this. This is great news and should be shared widely.

 

[Plumededragon]

Do we have the protocols somewhere?

 

[Mango]

Yup, on Skate Ontario's website: http://www.skateontario.org/minto-entriesstart-ordersresults/

Its pretty early on during the season and honestly, I was rooting for quite a number of people. HOWEVER, I have to say I really felt sorry for Julian. Its his first time with his 4S and its a pretty bad blow to him (literally) as he knocked against one of the boards. The other one (was it a 3F?) was also very painful. I think he's still trying to get his directions around with his news program, as this music choice was way different from his rock-ish blue kinda genre. Ju, please don't be discouraged. We'll cheer you on. A few weeks left before SEA Games!

Liam! So good to see him back on the ice! Though yes, I still think he'll be improving his program further. He's still got the moves . Can't wait to see him more during the season (And i secretly am cheering on him to get the coveted Olympics spot)

NamNam! Yeay! Another happy show! He obviously looked more at ease with his jumps now. I'm sure he'll find a way to continually adjust to his growth spurt. He also moved so much faster too. (I'm still waiting for him to skate to a YOI soundtrack like what he suggested before in a tweet)

Stephen. 2 words: I'm shOokETh. 'Nuff said. Watch out for this boy

Can't wait for the free tomorrow!

 

[cathlen]

I love Nic skating so much I don't even care for his popped 3A (and I should, how else is he gonna get GP spot?)...

I'm pretty sure that describes the reaction of everyone at the rink, even though half of them were skaters.

I know! The axel was really too bad, but watching him live was so cool. He has so much personality even when he's off the ice.

Is Aurora Cotop skating the LP? I can't see her on the list.

 

[Mango]

Sabrina they haven't posted a junior women group 1 FS start order. Aurora's in that group.

 

[Sabrina]

Alaine was quite good, not perfect but still nice overall.

 

[siberia82]

Alaine got 113.77 for the LP, and 179.82 in total.
