Lovely skate by Kolodziej and Deschamps! I'm impressed with their jumps, the double axels were perfectly in sync.

 

[SarahSynchro]

I’m here! The party can start now!

Pretty program from Sydney and Maxime. Her dress is fab.

BoDs - bit high

For sure!

Anyone know why Brittany Jones/Josh Reagan aren't here? Did they retire? Is someone injured?

 

[s_parks]

The commentary is hilarious, haha

 

[synteis]

I'm so so impressed. You dream that some skaters will leave an incredible skate on Nationals' ice and they did.

 

[apgold]

Is Bruno coaching all the pairs teams here, lol?

 

[Crossover]

I'm also impressed by the unfamiliar first team. They look very promising.

 

[synteis]

Oh dear, she seems to be struggling on every jump element.

I asked this yesterday in the SP thread, they haven’t competed all year, but haven’t announced a retirement.

This is Tóth Ivett's music, and they stole Suto/Boudreau-Audet's costumes [emoji23]

But they are very pretty

In seniors: Ruest/Wolfe, Moore-Towers/Marinaro, Kolodziej/Deschamps, and Duhamel/Radford. So 4/7. He also had at least 3 of the junior teams.

Apparently, the Marcotte siblings are two big pillars to sustain the current Canadian pairs. Kudos to their achievements.

YES. THIS is EXACTLY WHY national championships exist and why they are important. Those who deem them to be pointless now due to the “body of work” controversy in the US need to realize that it’s not solely about the best skaters who have chances for the Olympics and worlds.

 

[kevinVchicago]

I'm not sure what that last spin element is called, but I liked it!

 

[s_parks]

Too bad, some of the elements were sloppy. Nice basics though, and he's great on the lifts- honestly better speed, flow and posture than most of the top men right now(I've only seen better from Han).

 

[blue_idealist]

This wasn't perfect, but I really enjoyed it!

 

[Dr. Jenn]

Decent job by Drew and Camille, other than some iffy landings by her. They're a really well-matched team and have lots of nice qualities. I would have liked to see a bit more 'oomph' in some of their movements and presentation, but otherwise, well done!

At nats they have 4 senior pairs: R/W, K/D, MT/M, and D/R. And at least 3 juniors: Panetta/Lapointe, Choinard/Ostiguy, Matte/Ferland (just Richard as a coach, but Julie does choreo). And probably others in novice/junior that I don't know.
