It was on Nam's Snapchat a few days ago. Roman's just lacing up his skates in the change room and Nam is filming him going "Roman. Roman. Roman. Hey ROMAN!" and Roman's like "WHATTT??!?!" and Nam asked "How's the SP going?" To which Roman replied, "It's ok." They took some photos together too. Roman looked like he was studying (he had a binder open in front of him).

At Canadians in Kingston a couple of years ago, I remember watching the two of them play fight over who would get to sit in a big armchair in the hotel lobby. Eventually they both managed to squeeze themselves into it at the same time, giggling like little kids the whole time. Quite entertaining. :laugh:

I hope they enjoy training together now that they have the chance. It's easier to work hard when you're having fun.

That's a great story, vintagefigureskater. Thank for sharing. I love to see the friendships between skaters. They're all going through this together.

Entries for Worlds have been posted. Nothing new. Keegan and Nam are alternates for men. Soucisse/Firus for dance. Larkyn & Alaine for ladies. Brittany/Joshua, Kirsten/Michael, and Camille/Andrew are all alternates for pairs. I guess the mantra will be that team work makes the dream work, while the magic number is 13.

As always, Meagan and Eric are ready: https://www.instagram.com/p/BRV_z24hJUk/

More Meagan & Eric: https://www.instagram.com/p/BRbZJQihgG3/

Eric actually posted a very nice photo for Women's Day: https://twitter.com/Rad85E/status/839499839566135296
I think that's Brynn Hoffman and Samuel Morais. New pair??

Speaking of new pairs, junior ice dancer Elliott Graham has teamed up with Olivia McIsaac. Here they are creating a lift with Alex and Mitch (and Mitch's dad David?): https://twitter.com/MEADonice/status/837859070258348033

I found an interesting discussion elsewhere on the internet about Tessa & Scott's SD. I didn't know about waacking but that's what they're doing in the opening moves of the SD. They discuss it here, in the last section (soft paywall): http://www.movinginmeasure.com/the-blues/blues-on-ice/

I would rather Eric lift Meagan... Indeed that is Patrick's music. I wonder if it's just in the playlist?

I watch sports or foreign dramas so no SYTYCD for me mate. Got my fill of reality TV with Survivor back in the day. :laugh:

Thanks for the link.

100 pages!

Here's a local paper feature on Nexxice Juniors from the Hamilton Spectator. They placed first at the national qualifier for Worlds.

------------------------------------------------

100 pages.....gosh! :ghug:

Guess we were more right than we knew when we felt there was a need for a place dedicated to news, discussion, and analysis of Canadian skating and skaters... :rofl:

:hap57:

Hands in the air, Something big is happening.... :clap:

[that's a Shawn Mendes reference for you 4everchan]

Imagine if this thread had kicked off at the beginning of the season.....200 pages? not unimaginable.... :cheer:

And thanks so much Mango for taking on the mantle of writing the OP to get this going... :thank:

Thank you all for joining the ride. Let's keep going strong all the way to WTT.

In the Skate Canada FB live video from Hershey Centre they mentioned that Junior Synchro Worlds will become an annual event instead of a biannual event as it was until now. That's good news for synchro fans.

(I wasn't sure where to put that info so I stuck it here.)

Did anyone watch the last Canada Winter Games? They featured pre-novice and novice level skaters. Many of our current junior level athletes won medals in Prince George, including all the junior men. Here's Ron MacLean hyping the 2019 CWG: https://youtu.be/o254y7_DrwM

Can gabby and kaetlyn rise to the occasion????? Will they skate clean? Honestly idk . Kaetlyn can be on the podium. Gabby could beat Ashley if she goes clean.

I haven't seen enough of Gabby this year but, I definitely believe Kaetlyn can make the podium with 2 clean skates. I think she's best performer of all the ladies and if she can skate cleanly, I think she'll be in striking distance after the SP. I would love to see her skate right after Med. I think their PCS numbers will be much closer than usual if kaetlyn holds it together in the free. Her job right now is to lay down 2 clean skates and we'll see where the chips fall.

And now Conrad returns the favour by photographing Roman: https://www.instagram.com/p/BRkU4UXDMzr/

This is an old YRSA bromance that's rekindled, eh?

A few of us were following Chloe Choinard and it looks like now she's teamed up to do pairs with Mathieu Ostiguy: https://www.facebook.com/mathieu.ostiguy.1/posts/10154533273263512

I am not sure Chloe has ever done pairs. Mathieu has been to Junior Worlds. This is going to be interesting to say the least.
