Roman's competing at it apparently! I'm excited, I'll be at the rink for Senior Men

Also Kemp/Elizarov are competing, get that home Challenge win

Amazing!! I love these two entrants
Romsky …. Very unusual for him. But, this is a good decision for him. He needs to compete compete….

Also, is Kemp/Elizarov competing in Juniors?

Great news!!!

Also, is Kemp/Elizarov competing in Juniors?

I think so. Judging by the schedule, there's only one Senior Pairs team competing I think that'll be Lyons/Haubrich.

Oh wow!!
But, didn’t they win Junior Nationals last year?
I would love to see them challenge themselves in Seniors
But, at the same time, I understand they are just coming back, and Seniors may be too tough, for them.
Also, they mentioned Fee Ann, Lia Cho , and Parker

The Junior ladies at Challenge will be the most interesting to watch IMO.

Senior will be a blood bath come National... but some already have byes... so it will be interesting to see who will be making it for Senior women.

It would be nice to see the Start Orders for Challenge. It starts tomorrow. Sheesh. Why is there always a delay for Skate Canada to communicate?
There is a fan base they need to satisfy.

Doh. For some reason I thought you meant a predictions thread, and wondered how on earth we were supposed to do predictions without knowing the entries! Does anyone think that I might be tired?

Challenge in Winnipeg means it's time for another article about figure skaters from Manitoba - https://www.winnipegfreepress.com/b...-skaters-come-home-for-skate-canada-challenge

“They [Kemp/Elizarov] really love competing. They like to perform and they’re excited to perform back in their home town,” Dawe said, as he headed to a training session last Friday.

“We’re not far off from where we were before we had the break. At Challenge, we’re not doing all of our hardest content even though we’re (training) it all. We’re being smart and making sure we don’t have any more interruptions to the season.”

I have a hard time deciding if i like Marly, Kiki and Jazzy or Ava and Yoni more. GOSH... Life is so difficult. But I guess being fan of all 3 pairs is a good deal too

Personally, I like Ava and Yoni the most

You know that I was not even aware that the article mentions the crown, let alone ME?
I was like 'how cool, Katherine picture in crown in article!' and decided to read it later, the kaboom - folks staring to message me about article mentioning me, the gift, the crown...
I'm sincerely overwhelmed, but can't stop smiling seeing this. Skaters do enjoy that kind of gift and that's what matters.

Hi gang,
I wanted to know did the CBC recently cut the figure skating from the TV programming ?
