Keegan Messing

Keegan now has a 2nd GP assignment: http://www.isuresults.com/events/cat03108234.htm

Exciting for him to get a second assignment. Japan should be an amazing event and opportunity. Chaplin is always a popular theme.

Sorry that Patrick will not be at NHK, but very happy to learn that Keegan will have another GP. He is a little bundle of energy. Hope he'll be able to improve on his jumps at NHK.

Hopefully just the wonderful free skate, not the aftermath.

Hopefully just the wonderful free skate, not the aftermath.

Valid point!!

However, I’m hoping that because there is no Canadian male skater who has a BOW even close to remarkable this year, the silver medalist at Canadians will get the nod to go to Korea. Keegan should not get minered IMO – he’s had some reasonable skates this past year and while maybe not perfect, ones I admit I’ve really enjoyed watching.

Go Keegan!! Rock ‘em!! :hap85::hap93:

Wish Keegan good luck at the upcoming Canadian Nats this week!

Congrats to Keegan on a beautiful short! Hopefully he can get the quad in the free. Love his overall skating, spins, and charm. He's a wonderful throwback. :yay:

I am so pleased to hear Tracy Wilson be so complimentary to Keegan's footwork. Fingers crossed that he doesn't get "Miner-ed;" I want to see Keegan at the Olympics!

Before the final group when the man from the federation was asked about Elladj (because of his lack of a quad) it was heartening to hear him say that it's important to stick with the podiums as much as possible. That makes me think that we won't have any drama today.

Ohmygod ohmygod Keegan's placed the 2nd at the Canadian Nationals! :hap57: Keegan placed 2nd at the Nats in the Olympic Year!! :hap57: Keegan placed 2nd while Canada has two slots at the Olympic Games!!! :hap57:

Hi deedee! Keegan's placement is quite exciting, congrats to him. I was thinking the same thing "where's Toni"! Back in the day Toni was his number one fan!

Canada has only 2 spots for the Men, fingers crossed that he gets selected.

Well don't have to be cautious anymore. So excited to see Keegan on Olympic ice. :hap85::hap93:

Great news for Keegan! Our finger-crossing worked.

 

[GGFan]

Btw, during his interview he said definitely 2 more years and hopefully another quad! More Keegan! :dance:

Is there a GIF of Keegan hugging Bruno Marcotte before his own FS? I heard it was a sentimental moment. He reminds me of Kurt Browning. Just started to notice him much more this season.

I couldn't find a GIF, but here are two parts in the YouTube video that show Keegan's class:

Thank you Weathergal! Such class! :agree:

I was lucky to see Keegan at Skate Canada in October - his spins and speed were phenomenal - a fantastic and very charismatic performer. I hope I get to see him at World Champs in Milan.
