Sara-Maude at least is a lock for 4CC

Stéphane knows it won't be enough

Go Kaiya!! Lock in the JWC spot with a silver medal winning performance

 

[rain]

Ouch, they really hammered her on the jumps.

 

[saine]

Noooo

 

[4everchan]

wow.

 

[discodisco]

for me amplitude > fast rotation

just a question of taste.

100%. Amplitude has more to do with skating skills. Rotating quickly is not technically a function of skating or skating skills. For me it all comes down to skating basics.

Does Ulyana have any senior minimums to be sent to 4CC? I think Sara-Maude is still getting that 4CC spot otherwise.

So so so happy for Kaiya! After some disaster free programs earlier in the season she was finally able to show what she can do in front of a home crowd! She fought through that second half!

This is the best we have seen Kaiya skate in a long time.... but i fear she may get a few Queues too.

 

[rain]

That was great from Kaiya. Hope there weren't too many under rotations. A couple of the jumps looked iffy. But I think that was the best thing we've seen today.

Well done Kaya!

 

[discodisco]

I don't disagree with anything you say I am just biased towards big jumpers and we haven't had such an exciting jumper since well... you name her... Kaetlyn

Totally agree! Let's get her some exposure, get her some better packaging, get her more well-known, and I think we are off to the races! With someone like kaya, it's always a bit shocking how low her scores are, because she has pretty good basics, fantastic packaging, and name recognition of all sorts. At least in Canada anyway. But she could skate "clean" program after "clean" program, and yet get knocked by a dozen tiny errors or downgrades because she just never quite has the power or height or technique to pull off those jumps 100% cleanly. I used to think that if she got older she would develop the power, and maybe we're still waiting for that. But someone like Landry already has that, so I think if she got a fantastic choreographer, a little bit of Dance work, and a better program, she has a higher ceiling. At the same time, you can't knock Kaya, who basically has pushed Canadian women to try multiple difficult triple triples. Let's hope both of them end up reaching their full potential!

Nope.. she's never been sent out internationally as a senior SMD Justine and Maddie are most likely the ones going.

Kaiya. Pretty dress. Great skate. I'm so happy for her.

Kaiya always peaks at free skate Nationals!! This should be the first 120+ free skate score plus 170+ overall!!
Amazing!! She is such a fighter!!

Her jumps look a lot cleaner than I've seen them for a while. Yes, probably a lot on the quarter, but closer to being fully rotated then under rotated for sure. Definitely a more water tight performance than I've seen from her all season

yes.. .and Kaiya is coming back from injury...

Fée-Ann needs a 3-3. She is working on it.
She said she is also working on 3a.

Honestly I think Kaiya has improved in power etc. I thought a couple of years ago that her jumps were completely doomed.
