I was really hoping Keegan would pull it together. What's going on. Why can't he jump even triples are hard. And I know it seems crazy but Gabby has to be considered.
Happy for Grayson; sad for Canada. Keegan can't jump any more or at least now.

Keegan can obviously jump and I am sure his jumps are there in practice. It's another ballgame to land those within a program at a competition.
I find it strange that anyone would expect him to be at this peak form after such a long hiatus. The reality is that he came back too late and now he has to skate at Challenge and Nationals with very little international experience. I think the writing Is on the wall already : he will not be chosen for the Olympic Games because Stephen and Roman have been doing relatively well and are in better shape than he is.

I think you're right, and that's not a negative towards Keegan. He should have come back a year before!

I am grateful for his return. If anything, it fired up the other boys

Anthony Paradis posted to insta that after years of practice he’s finally got a stable 3A.

With sectionals over, here are the podiums for the four larger sections to get a sense of where the skaters are at going into Challenge. Some teams were making their debuts, while other skaters are coming back from injury and haven't competed as much this season. In other categories, there are the skaters who are now moving up to Senior.
Edit: discovered Tommy Liu did reach the QMS in a smaller regional competition and can advance to Challenge.

That's sad. It's usually a good competition with many skaters. Having said that, there hardly ever is a stream (not even a payable one) so you wouldn't be able to watch any of the Canadian Skaters.
Edit: just read there will be a stream this year, albeit you have to pay.

So, the sadness is still there. Sorry @saine.

So is this the end for Keegan? If he’s not assigned to golden spin, what’s left? Even if he wins nationals, skate Canada has no justification for sending him to the Olympics with one international tournament in over 3 years and seasons best of 218. I just don’t see where this could go.

I also think it's the end for Keegan indeed. I mean, he will most likely compete at Challenge/Nationals... but there is no way, even with winning Nationals, that Skate Canada could send him based on his lone international assignment, where he lost to a junior Canadian skater. It's sad but he needed to come back earlier, grab his "comeback skater" GPs , etc... His return for me looks like an afterthought. .. and not something well planned. It is unfortunate of course and I hope he will perform well at Nationals.
He can do his best and still get a 4CC spot. But, it won’t be easy as Wesley Chiu looked better than Keegan at Sectionals

I don't think he wants to go to 4cc

@saine has organized a wonderful thread with video archives from Sectionals and other events gearing up to Nationals. 
With the many sectional competitions going on at the same time, it's a great place to see skaters you missed out last weekend or rewatch your favourite performances.
Finally, stay tuned for more info as Challenge is coming soon.

I love how Gabby looks. She is definitely going to be a threat at nationals. Do we know any other events that she will be in? I assume Skate Canada would send her to 4CC especially if nationals is close, and only 1 spot.. They will have a tough decision to make. Maddy has not made her self the clear front runner lady despite many chances to. She just isnt consistent enough. Gabby looks to be getting better every event. Keegan really should of come back last year.I think he still has time to show up and skate great at nationals despite his rough start. I think he just needs more time. He absolutely can still jump. His speed is still great. Its not like hes falling apart winded half way through programs. Its just repetition doing competitive skates vs show skates and he will have to put the work in.

Why would they want to retire with a Workd bronze medal when they’re already World champions?
I noticed something different for the 2025-26 Synchro Challenger Selection Guidelines.
Teams are now required to show a TES minimum in the short program for an assignment (32.20 JR/35.22 SR.) This wasn't a requirement from the 2024-25 selection document. I'm curious to see if they'll be adding similar TES requirements for the other disciplines in the 2026-27 Challenger selection guidelines.

Got a status update on Bombardier/Mimar. Fiona posted a story about having their last session for a while, and Ben reposted with a caption about coming back stronger after her surgery.
Hopefully Fiona's recovery goes well and next season goes better for them
