In any case, I am on the live stream waiting to see Etienne and Yoni

I got here early and am in Rink A. Hearing the opening music live is a change.

Maybe he should pick up pairs and skate with beau Callahan... whatever happened to her ? She was a future superstar ??? and then.. .split with Christophe Roch...

Just went up there...

Bryan Pierro is also listed... and if I know the names of most of the Canadian guys on there, I know none of the women listed representing Cana

I am still trying to figure out the schedule... LOL... i thought i was late for the junior pairs
I work later this afternoon so I am hoping to watch a bit of the women but most of the senior men.

HEHE So happy to hear a French-speaking announcer badly pronounce names not in her mother tongue.... It's always the reverse for once, I feel vindicated.

 

[4everchan]

so excited to see ava and yoni for the first time this year...

Back Mahoney
Very promising. He needs to get stronger for lifts and twist but they have good qualities. I loved the death spiral... He is a Shoma wizard on this 2axel which he pretty much landed in a one leg forward squat position. Gosh the things teenagers can do... if I just were to try to reach that position, on the ground, I wouldn't walk for days

Back/Mahoney list speed at the end of their lifts, but dang her head got low on the death spiral.

 

[4everchan]

Aborted lift... too bad because Étienne is quite good with them... the reverse lasso was so solid and level 4... oh well.

They are making progress definitely. I hope they will be on the JGP circuit full time next year.

 

[saine]

That was very nice

Okay, nice other than that lift, I miss the tech box.

 

[4everchan]

I am amazed they managed the B.O death spiral... I will always remember the first time I saw them, just over a year ago.. not able to do a DS in their competition.

 

[4everchan]

Yoni's footing wasn't great on the lasso but other than that... they did well.. Of course with only doubles for now... but we will see what they can do if they are selected for worlds.

 

[saine]

I think they were the fastest team on the ice.

beau Callahan competed in advanced novice at Quebec sectionals and got through due to a strong free skate

I enjoyed the quick and short jr pairs event….

That's fabulous but she's a pair superstar... I hope she still wants to do pairs at one point and finds the appropriate partner. Nothing wrong doing single skating at this point to get her triples.

@saine Today will be a conflict of what rink to watch.

I plan to watch Junior Girls, then might focus mostly on Senior Men (keeping an eye out for key Junior girls), then will just focus on Junior girls till the end, then, focus on the last remaining junior boys

I agree. She likes to perform
She will attain more success in Pairs.
In Singles, she will get lost behind the more talented skaters

Really nice to see how Lyons/Haubrich are progressing.
