Much better from Alec, even if he did run out of energy in the second half. The 3F-2A-2A sequence was really nice.

Yesterday's Men's SP was a bit rough, but there were still some performances at different levels that I enjoyed like Roman Sadovsky, Anthony Paradis, John Kim, Edrian Paul Celestino, Brian Chiem, Damien Bueckert.

Damien, the rocket in your song isn't made by Elon Musk...

Damien, jumps are always fake for you

Having a rough skate Damien....

I can't read and remember a schedule. I was convinced it was pairs!

Pairs is 7:55 p.m. Laval time if that helps any.

 

[FlossieH]

Not Damien's day with the jumps, but he looks okay about it.

 

[Weathergal]

Having a rough skate Damien....

Yeah, I liked his SP so I was looking forward to his FS - but when a skater struggles technically, getting through an FS is tough.

 

[FlossieH]

Pairs is 7:55 p.m. Laval time if that helps any.

I'd got it into my head that it was pairs first and then men. I was very surprised to just see men on the ice!

more maple and less cacti

Let's glaze them in maple syrup instead of prickly needles

I know Joey Russell is a Canadian choreographer and choreographs for a lot of Canadian skaters, but it seems like his name's really been mentioned a lot at Nationals. I'm wondering how many programs he's done total for all the competitors at Nats.

il est venu le temps de les pops...

 

[FlossieH]

That was better than the short for Rio, but not as good as at Challenge. I think he maybe peaked for that to qualify.

 

[yelyoh]

I quite like Rio but he wasn't at his best at this comp. Here's to next year.

That was better than the short for Rio, but not as good as at Challenge. I think he maybe peaked for that to qualify.

Rio was going to qualify no matter what, it was the start order in the short that Challenge decided.

I think he's been injured, he only started competing in October this season.

Tough skate for Antoine. The crowd really tried to help him, though.

 

[4everchan]

Antoine I love you. Such beautiful skating.. like some say, jumps are

 

[auser]

I liked Antoine's choreo sq. and the way the audience got behind him. Too bad he seemed to struggle during some parts.
