2026 NextGen - Skate Canada | July 16-19

Good height for Alie and Emerick on the twist.

Pretty good job for Dion/Cote! They overall seem ready for two jgp assignments to me.

 

[saine]

First time attempting a 3Fth in competition and they got it

 

[labgoat]

Very good on all the elements. The one lift needs a bit of work on her position, but otherwise was very strong. Really good job!

Great score and ahead of Ava Cheung & Keith Lau in June

Kaydee and Etienne - I am a sucker for any program to U2. Very nice, neat, not rushed. Perfect song for pair skating even if a cover version.

 

[crystalspin]

Kallay & Lacasse have some good elements. To be competitive internationally obviously they will need some triple throws and work on lifts but they are new. I'm still a bit sad because I really liked his last partnership.

 

[labgoat]

Lots of nice moves between elements that show off great teamwork. The triples will come once they have more time to get used to each other's timing. Nice score, well deserved.

I think they will get there. I already see an improvement compared to yesterday. Kaydee will land her triple throws very soon. They will have two triple SBS soon. The lifts will need work. I think there may be a bit of a fear factor compensated with extra prudence by Étienne which is the way to go at this point.

Étienne will become my new maxime soon. I feel he will be very good. He is attentive and supportive and in control.

 

[4everchan]

I hope Skate Canada gives them one (or tw) from the last two events.. just to give them time to get there but they deserve to get out.

Etienne tried to lift her

He picked Kaydee as a partner to up the technical content. But, she is struggling with the single jumps to the point it isn’t benefiting him. This is a partnership I’m questioning

 

[4everchan]

Wow.. Étienne has bulked up

WOW... 2 months into pairs. She's amazing

listen to their interview.. they've been skating together for 2 months, she's never done pairs, and the program is 4 week long. . this is actually extremely promising

Did Enryck forget his costume? Great twist lift

 

[crystalspin]

I feel like next time we see Ranzi and Legault they will be more comfortable with this program. They are a bit tentative with their skating today but show a lot of promise.

 

[labgoat]

They look excited and seem to be having fun. I can see them working very well as a team to do what they have trained. Nice new team- both are strong. They just need time. Fun to watch.

 

[4everchan]

Well maybe Enryck will become my new Maxime.

Funny how Québec makes these pair and dance boys but hardly can make any single boy skaters

Did Enryck forget his costume? Great twist lift

He wore this same costume last season at Skate Trophy when they won Novice Pairs. May be his lucky tshirt

I think they are not new... but were novices before.

 

[labgoat]

Wow and they go into first place. Congratulations!
