2026 NextGen - Skate Canada | July 16-19

So Auréa, sister of Corentin, does not have a partner yet I assume ? Or is she with Quentin ?

 

[labgoat]

I fell asleep.

It happens

Love the Florence program for Stella & Corentin. They are stronger skaters than the others but still with twizzle mishaps. Not sure they are a long-term match with each other.

 

[labgoat]

Ordering one redemption skate for Charlie ANDERSON / Cayden DAWSON if you please...

 

[4everchan]

interview with Stella and Coco I like that for them. Just like I like Jazzy and Kiki

I haven't watched yesterday's RD yet. Why are Anderson/Dawson so low down the scores ranking? They were one of the top teams last year.

Because they have an awful program and didn't skate it well.

Trigger warning : if you appreciate a real 3/4 waltz, do not watch the RDs from yesterday.

Let's goo Anderson/Dawson! Please have a redemption skate.

 

[4everchan]

Trigger warning : RIYBE

Unfortunately, I won't be able to be their fan this season... unlike last year... Two bad programs is a no no for me.

 

[crystalspin]

I really like this team and I did enjoy this free dance. Still a bit wobbley on some elements, but they are a strong team. If they get a jgp I hope its a late one so they can work on their rd and clean up the fd.

How can something be a waltz if it isn't in 3/4? 6/8 cannot be a waltz because it is compound time and ends up as equivalent to 2 beats in a bar. I suppose 9/8 would maybe work...

sadly this was true. I hope they will go back and try again for the RD

 

[labgoat]

That was a very nice, if rather slow and careful tango for Annabelle & Rafael. The program and presentation are on track - the technical side is where the homework needs to be done.

 

[labgoat]

Someone knocked on my door and I missed Charlie & Cayden - what did they skate too and was it good and or redemptive?

 

[Cutting the ice]

The judging panel is delivering many wake-up calls to the teams - which is part of the point here. I suspect, I hope that the awkward mistakes being made are because the season is very early and they are nervous, rather than lack of talent.

 

[saine]

Give Chaima and Julien a JGP spot!

 

[4everchan]

I already adore Chaïma and Julien

 

[labgoat]

Chaima really came alive at the end of that Gladiator program.

She is in the stands with what looks like Atl ONGAY-PEREZ from GB.

 

[FlossieH]

I want a team to inspire me with an original music choice.
