Lia. Beautiful blue dress. Great skate.

 

[Jeanie19]

When will Lia be 13?

When will Lia be 13?

August ..sigh

 

[FlossieH]

I think Konstantina Lock was a bit hard done by. She should have been ahead of Reese Rose.

 

[Jeanie19]

August ..sigh

No. Change that to June.

I'm not sure what's going on with the Dailymotion archives.

CBC Sports posted Lia's short on Youtube, it may be geoblocked:

I still can't find the video of Junior Women Short on Dailymotion. There are only videos of Junior Men Short and Junior RD.

They aren't up yet. There were technical issues during it and the stream went out a few times. They'll probably be up later.

Ok. I guess this is the only Junior Ladies performance I get to see.
Thank goodness Lia Cho won the SP
I thought she did really well
Her performance improved in front of an audience and she really enjoyed being out there
64.19 SB (Amazing!!)
Jumps amazing
Spins…. Well….. Fly Camel Spin at Level 1…. (cmon Scott ….. drill those spins)

Also, looks like the PreNovice podium from two years ago, the Novice Podium from last year and the Triglav podium where they swept the podium for Canada, is looking to sweep here at Junior Nationals. They are well clear from the rest of the field.
I wish I could see how Ksenia and Sandrine skated.

Tmrw…..I guess I have to pick my fave event and watch it (in case they don’t upload later tonight)
Will aim to watch the Junior Boys last flight LIVE. I better not be interrupted by any meeting

Ok… I’m done for the night. Too much skating. I didn’t watch synchronized ; but, i need to rest and pace myself.
See you all tmrw at Junior Boys (last flight)

 

[4everchan]

Here we are. The lineup was too intense so I'm starving...I'll have to plan things properly. Perhaps missing the second group....

 

[FlossieH]

I am so tempted to skip band so that I can watch all of this - but I missed last week.

 

[saine]

In terms of Junior Worlds selections here, only Reese Rose has the minimums so this event likely won't factor into it.

It's nice to see the audience for the Juniors

Depends what you play.

 

[4everchan]

Damn cartwheels. She didn't need that last fall. It started so well with her 3loop... Oh well. She's a nice skater to watch despite all the issues

 

[FlossieH]

Depends what you play.

Flute, alto flute and recorders.

 

[saine]

Rough skate for Yaena, but I hope she looks back on her season she had to qualify here out of the largest Junior Women field in Canada and then qualify out of Challenge for her first Junior Nationals

 

[FlossieH]

Poor Yaena. There were some graceful transitions. Understandably completely lost confidence after the fourth jump fall. 5 falls overall will be very costly.

 

[FlossieH]

Brookelyn - technically secure within what she can do, but no connection/performance. Champs really need to get a decent performance coach because it is a consistent problem for their skaters.

 

[4everchan]

Flute, alto flute and recorders.

Might look weird if you skip twice but you know, you certainly would not want to spread the flu you caught at Canadian nationals
