I am so glad she wants to keep going ! I am not too surprised because it took her a lot of work to get back on track this year. So why not enjoy the benefits of that hard work ?
Fée Ann did also extremely well at 4CC.
Sara-Maude wasn't at her best which is normal. She was hoping to peak at Nationals to win the title and it didn't work. I think she did peak at Cup of Warsaw. I'd love to see these three skaters at Skate Canada.

Gabby did well for sure but for me the star Canadian Lady was Fee Ann. Too bad she was not better known by International judges cause I think she should have been 5 or 6 points higher here, especially when you compare her jumps with some of the other ladies who got much higher GOE. Please send her out more.
We have a group of very good 'second tier' ladies who I hope continue to develop over the next few years. Be nice to see a new rivalry develop like in the days of Gabby, Katelyn and Alaine. They pushed each other to better things which resulted in GP, 4CC, World and even Olympic medals.

That was a great way to finish the season for Fee Ann Landry and Gabrielle Daleman. I hope that their season best score will get them one Grand Prix next season, they deserve it ! And, also the same for Sara-Maude with her best skate of her life at Warsaw cup, I hope that give her one Grand Prix next season ! Good job Canadian Ladies ! 
Who is available for Beau to pair up with? I don't think she is advanced enough technically for Charly. Would she and David S fit if she was willing to relocate to Ontario? I will admit that I still fancy the idea of Hetty Shi and David as a pair, although I don't think there's ever been any indication of Hetty considering pairs.
Adding on, Callahan/Furman split, Beau is looking for a new partner. Vladimir was posting stories of practicing jumps, maybe he's planning on singles again.

Charly is partnered with Nina Ouellette, they'll be Seniors. With David S, he lives in Ottawa so he'd be closer to partnering with Beau rather than Hetty. He may be able to find someone in Ottawa-Gatineau looking to switch

I agree that she should be incredibly proud of her performances. Her jumps were excellent, and I agree should probably have received higher GOE - although apart from the salchow they didn't have a ton of transitions going into them, so I think that's definitely where she could improve next year to bump the GOE a bit higher.
But as the commentator noted, she does Skate a little bit wooden, with some pretty basic choreography. I think that if Skate Canada wants to invest in a current senior lady they should find a way to get her some top notch programs with more complex choreography next year. Obviously David Wilson is good, but I think she needs someone like Lori Nickle, or even Marie France, who is very skilled at choreographing programs that hide skaters weaknesses, and play to their strengths. She needs somebody to help her bring out her personality and spunk and really commit more because I think that with a better program, she could be scoring over 10 points higher for sure.
Her basics are so good, but she needs to get down into her knees and skate a bit more outside of herself to get those higher scores. I very much hope that next year is another breakout year for her. It
I’m so happy to hear this!!
She will most likely get the Skate Canada spot. So, two Challenger events and a GP spot. Maybe, a second GP spot, if her 183 holds up.
She might as well give it a try. I can’t wait to see her new programs for next season. Also, I think she has 190+ potential for next season. Great news!!
This made my day
Oh no!! Poor Beau
I thought this partnership would last at least through Juniors……
Vladimir…. Why????
Vladimir won’t make it out of domestic competitions in singles. With Beau he could compete at the JGP stage and continue learning Pairs
Hetty is my second pick hope for David S. behind Ksenia K.
- Hetty and Ksenia are good single skaters. But, not good enough to make it out internationally. So, like Lia Pereira, I just think it would be a good opportunity for either of them to try a different angle
I think Vladimir should try to find another Quebec partner. I watched the two Quebec Novice Sectional competitions and the number of girls going for 2A and triple jumps amazed me. Beau will have a tougher time finding a partner. I love how much she loves pairs and I hope she finds somebody cause in Novice singles or Juniors, she will probably not make it further than Sectionals.

Congrats to Kelly Ann (
) and Loucas!! 
Kelly Ann is such a lovely girl. You can tell she loves figure skating and she treats Loucas so nicely.
This 188 scores moves them to tied in 17th place on SB list. Lia & Trennt are in 15th place with 191. Had Loucas landed that 3S, I think she could have surpassed that 191 score.
Anyways, Kelly Ann was so happy with their well earned free skate score. I think they should have placed 4th ahead of S/H in the free skate portion. Most importantly, she is happy and I think this team is encouraged knowing they can surpass 190. I always thought 190 would be their ceiling. I love this team so much.

Seeing Rob Brodie quoted reminded me of something he said in his Nationals article
In a way, going to an event in person makes you more detached from what is going on than if you streamed it at home. Though in Gatineau, they showed the stream (complete with score wart) on the screen above the middle of the ice. Unfortunately it was too small to read without binoculars, though you could see the red/green of the GOEs. Where I wish I had binoculars was in reading the standings they show after each skater. Again, I could see the placement because the current skater was in red, but I couldn't read the scores.
I was under the impression that she was using Lion King for Nationals but not for the Olympics. I even thought it was a bit unfair for her to win an Olympic spot with a program that she couldn't use there. Has anyone heard anything about the status of Lion King from any other source? Perhaps it was discussed in the stream.

Robert Brodie got the details in another Nationals article:
So 2/3 songs used in it are okay to use for the Olympics and they'll need to replace the first song

I agree completely. Strong and healthy domestic rivalries are vital. They don’t just push each other, but once one breaks thru internationally, you often see multiple do it cause they see it can be done and raises the levels for everyone

if it's unfair for Maddie imagine how Fabbri Ayer must feel. Marie-Jade and Romain have never even performed their new RD in competition and used the Prince one they knew they definitely couldn't use in order to qualify. I am not blaming them for doing that. It's am just saying that Maddie is certainly not the only nor worst example of using a program to qualify that may or may not be reused at the games.
