Thanks all for the reminders about Rohene's pro competition; I guess, knowing what little I have learned about Rohene, that he would just slap on a pair of skates and go out and jump magnificently without a coach

Also, Rohene is presenting a new artistic program tonight and tomorrow in Minneapolis

(click on performances, my browser will not give me a direct link;

)

By the same choreographer who crafted his "Adagio for Strings" program.

Back to Jason: my first Jason was the US Nats Riverdance. His deep breaths and stare at the beginning of that program certaimly signal serious competitor. Despite all the photos of happy grins later.

I miss pro comps!

But I hope Rohene has a better head for pros than he ever did in USFS competitions!

Unfortunately I am not familiar with any of these skaters aside from Rohene.

gkelly · May 1, 2015

If you search youtube for Ryan Jahnke, Derrick Delmore, Jonathan Cassar, and Rice & Higgins you should be able to find video from their competitive days.

I'm not familiar with most of the other names. Not every pro who will enter this event will have had national and international success as an eligible skater. And I am more familiar with US skaters, so if there are other Canadian skaters besides Rice and Higgins (or others who competed outside North America), I may not have come across them.

dorispulaski · May 1, 2015

also ice dancers Nardozzi & Traxler will be competing.

My coach Jonathan Cassar is competing.

Thanks satine94. Just got off the ice watching Jonathan skate his routine this morning. He always skates so beautifully.

Mathman · May 21, 2015

For people not acquainted with the amazing Jonathan Cassar, here is his SP from 2013 U.S. Nationals. :love:

That Short Program was one of his best.

Congrats to Higgins/Rice, who won the event -- per Doug Mattis.

I am confused. Did pairs compete against singles?

AFAIK, each entry was competing against every other entry -- without compartmentalization into separate disciplines.

And ... Mark Ladwig had posted a mini-video of eventual winners Higgins/Rice on his Instagram page.

Maybe several other mini-vids too?
