Nice chor sets the mood / sbs 3s she was pitched forward but don't think hand went down / 2tw with nice split / facing h to h lift to star to upside down exit / spirals / nice entrance to bods with change of hand that didn't lose speed unless most teams / music picks up and their speed increases even more unique entrance to thr 3l / sbs spins were fast & close together great matching pos don't think they lost sync at all right into pair spin that was excellent as well and went by too fast for me to describe the positions - great skate/ T 33.81 C 26.13 tot 59.94 new pb / currently 1st

Too bad for Utako Wakamatsu and Jean-Sébastien Fecteau. I was rooting for them to make it to Worlds and end their career on a high note. It feels like I've been Fecteau skate at Canadians for years!
I had a feeling that Jessica Dubé and Bryce Davison would win this one.
Can't wait for the free skate!

Thanks for the report, Rosaleen! I am curious about why Jericho and partner withdrew. I enjoyed her skating two years ago (?) in London and was disappointed when her last partner was injured and retired. Hopefully, she will be back.
