[hurrah]

Go Kanako!!

 

[rollerblade]

I thought she fell because her blade touches the board.

 

[mirai4life]

Go baby kanako :9

 

[amateur]

who is the guy sitting next to Katlyn? Sandhu?

Ravi Walia, he competed at Canadain nationals for a number of years, around the Elvis Stojko era... highest finish was maybe 4th or 5th I think? He always seemed too tall!

Sandhu wasn't our first and only skater of (at least part) Indian heritage!

 

[Sam-Skwantch]

I love Kanako!!!! Please kill it and please don't retire!!

 

[Kinga]

A horrible fall from the Korean girl. The audience did nothing to cheer her up.

 

[lupojohn]

I actually thought she showed great attack at the beginning... but she lost steam towards the end. It's kind of crazy that she could land a 2A+3T with relative ease, and then a solo 3T she goes down.

She looked sexy, so she did the job

 

[CarneAsada]

Go Kanako! Don't embarrass me, show me those 20:1 odds were worth something!

 

[Eloise]

Go Kanako and go Mao! I hope 8 triples for Mao!

And obviously Forza Caro!

I don't think Papa Can You Hear Me is considered a WP so this gets a pass.

I actually thought she showed great attack at the beginning... but she lost steam towards the end. It's kind of crazy that she could land a 2A+3T with relative ease, and then a solo 3T she goes down.

I agree about Osmond. It's like she just ran out of the steam. The lack of training early in the year is starting to show. I hope she can rest well before Worlds.

 

[hurrah]

Oh, Kanako nearly tripped just skating forward. The ice must be really bad.

 

[jcsamex]

I'd rather have the early skates plagued with falls than the last group.

 

[rollerblade]

Oh it looked like Kanako almost tripped on a rut on the ice while she was getting ready for her 3-3.

 

[Elaine]

Kanako, plz...

 

[PftJump]

Papa Can You Hear Me is a beautiful piece.

And I like a Junior Yuna's program.

 

[Panini]

Oh, Kanako nearly tripped just skating forward. The ice must be really bad.

They should resurface between every group... So worried for Mao now.

 

[sky_fly20]

something is wrong with the ice
no clean skates
