2023 Skate Canada Women's Short Program

[Seven Sisters]

And I’m amazing for figuring out the starting time. And why doesn’t the US make more use of the challengers?

Because 90% of them are in Europe, and the organizers don’t pay to fly the competitors in, as they do for the GP.

Watching Peacock and the announcer's mic is a little hot. I don't know many of these skaters so it will be nice to see/discover them.

Mark Hanretty, former World British Ice Dance competitor.
Love his Scottish accent, positivity and ice dance knowledge.

and although I'm not seeing him, I've google image searched him, he's easy on the eyes.

Evening all!
It's 10pm here so I'll probably only manage Women's (but hoping I'll have the stamina for dance too)...

Good luck to all the competitors

Hello Tabsy! It’s been a while

I approve of Evanescence. Too bad about the jumps.

 

[FlossieH]

I think that is the most expressive skate I've seen from her.

So please to have Mark, too!

Sarah-Maude - hmmm. When she had that great clean long skate at Four Continents, I had a lot of hope for her but she's been struggling ever since. WTT wasn't good and she really struggled on her long program at Nebelhorn.

So, I'm thinking, if you land a somewhat crappy Lutz that was supposed to be in a combo, you go for plan B - do a 3T+3T at the end.

I approve of Evanescence. Too bad about the jumps.

I approve too! If anyone has to be emo I'd rather them be Emonescence rather than Emogenesis.

Still waiting for someone to skate to My Chemical Romance though

Well that was a nice skate, but the combo jump gave her trouble today. Don't know if Sara changed her mind on the Lutz as a combo and later tried to do 3L-2L that was a bit messy.

Hello Tabsy! It’s been a while

Missed most of last season as life got hectic but committed to watching the Grand Prix this year

Oh dear Mae, that will not get the worlds minimums you need. This is an edgy program, but without the jumps performed well it does not really sing today.

 

[CellarDweller]

Invalid element, I assume, as there was no combo.

 

[Jontor]

Speaking of Plan B, no plan at all to do a 2T after that Lutz for Maé-Bérénice...

Skaters need to be more strategic!!

Mae. Great costume. Good program and committed to choreography. Jumps were a problem.
