Happy they changed the twizzles btw

Well a big thanks to Daily Motion for letting me see my first ever Canadian Nats. So much fun!!!! And one day to rest before US Nats. Snow storm coming to NYC (maybe) so I can stay home and recuperate.

There's no gala this year.

Yes, I have full marks in pairs and dance, but men and ladies I was miles out. I think I just have 40 in each of those.

Yeah, I majorly cactused Women, too, and messed up an otherwise decent score.

i scored 25 in women... can you pass me the toilet paper, please?

No gala....

Yay, yay! I wanted to watch tomorrow but couldn't help myself. Getting better and better every Dance (except for Nadiia and Peter who did better than yesterday, so jumped up a little bit). A wonderful firebird, glad to see Marie-Jade/Romain and Alicia/Paul are still close, but Alicia and Paul were the better ones today. I am not even going to talk about 2 and 1. Sensational ending of the competition. Kudos!

I cried, I laughed, and most of all enjoyed. It was great!

Listening to him after watching PL Junior Championships this morning blows my mind...

I didn't do skatepicks this time

 

[elektra blue]

time for me to go, see you next week on the other side of the border (unless you become the 51th state of the united states soon) love you all

I'm just so glad they had clean, confident outing there.

They really needed a clean and brilliant competition here after the uncharacteristic big mistakes they had during the grand prix. They're in a position where it doesn't matter that it was a nationals event, you can bet everyone was watching. They needed a clean slate and new energy moving into the second half of the season.

I hope that Lauriault/Le Gac get 4CC. It would be nice for them to have a chance to finish off their season on a high note.

Gosh I love this podium for women. SMD and KMS win their first national medal

KMS is really something, unbothered by the fact that her "prime" should be 10 years ago

Same score here LOL

She is my absolute heroine by this no BS attitude since Warsaw Cup. Love this so much for her!

Watched Piper and Paul. Wow. WOW.
Don't know even how to articulate how this program left me this time, but it was definitely too short. It was sublime in a very particular way and design that I'm sure is not everybody's tea and that's perfectly fine. What got me, in some teary retrospective, was how far they came actually when it comes to balance out skill and artistic approach towards material/package - for me, they are truly like fine wine: getting better and stronger as they go.
I absolutely love reworked choreo between assisted jumps sequence and one foot, adds to the overall theme and amps the whole thing. I think I liked GPF spin version more (? I think it was a bit different??), but THAT TANGO CHOREO SEQUENCE IN HOLDS just takes the whole cake and cake platter.
I guess I'm just "spellbound" of sorts by this FD, aside of my totally biased and non-objective opinion. The program just creates something fleeting and fragile, but painted with such strong strokes, moments.

You are so right!

But I still loathe Paul's backless jacket.

Me too!! It looks horrible.
It detracts from the performance

 

[rain]

But I still loathe Paul's backless jacket.

Funnily enough, I liked it better here. I think it looks like they have maybe fitted it better to him now? Anyway, I would still prefer if it was a darker red, rather than the orange-red.

OIf judges were fair they yreally should be given consideration for world gold. But the judges love Chock and BAtes even with errors. Get ready ffor the US National Inflation championships I think scores of 93 in the SD and 139 in the FD are expected.

Well, now they know the numbers they have to shoot for to outdo Piper and Paul, so you're probably not far off, lol.
