2025 NextGen Competition | July 17-20

[saine]

Interesting that they interviewed Rui. I guess David B declined or was unavailable.

They interviewed Hannah when she was in second behind Uxia, so it doesn't seem to be fixed.

I have been looking at the rink and thinking Nationals? Presumably the Slush Puppy Center has another rink, with seats, for that!

for sure

 

[FlossieH]

Much better than at this point last season for David Li.

 

[FlossieH]

Slush Puppies are a crushed ice drink here. Is it the same in Canada?

same

Some costly jump errors for Jeffrey Chen

 

[FlossieH]

Not Edward's day.

 

[4everchan]

ok son... you are perhaps a bit too passionate about the music/program... save some energy and focus for the jumps

nice to see him try a quad salchow... popped it but promising.

 

[4everchan]

mmmm not too good for grayson either

 

[FlossieH]

Grayson Long has got so tall. I'm getting Stephen Gogolev vibes....

 

[cocteautwin]

Grayson is so nice to watch. Not sure about this music choice, but will see later in the season. Some good stuff, some things were off (lutzes!), overall nice job.

 

[4everchan]

that's a good score for what he did....

 

[el henry]

I this program for Anthony.

Please skating gods skate it clean some day

Were those later falls choreo elements?

 

[NanaPat]

that's a good score for what he did....

he (Grayson) was celebrating and Brian was trying to hush him up.

 

[4everchan]

omg... not one but two freak falls...

anthony will need a bit more time.. this program is full of stuff. i cannot wait to see it later in the season.

also ... he is going to get a nomination from you know who (@elektra blue ) for emulating Paul Poirier's no back

 

[FlossieH]

Anthony was too into the music/performance there and didn't have enough mind on the skating. Some silly falls there which he could have avoided if he was concentrating better.

 

[cocteautwin]

I would love to see more colors in Anthony's costume for this program. I quite like this music choice, it's interesting to see him go in a bit different direction although still very dramatic

 

[FlossieH]

That's a fair score

 

[4everchan]

i cut the streaming ... not interested in hearing the winner's interview (no offense)

how many spots do we have ?

I'd say send the top 5 once each...

 

[FlossieH]

I would send the top four to JGP (one spot each) and keep the fifth spot in reserve for whoever does best there or someone who does well in other competitions.
