2015 Skate Detroit Jul 21-25

[mnm464]

So shall we conclude that the break out star this weekend for the ladies was Bradie Tennell?

At mnm464: I figured out who you were the other day by looking at the scoresheets and making an educated guess but didn't want to be the one to put your real name on the forum. I'm sorry to say I missed your skating by mere moments the other day but judging by the scores you did quite well. First year junior right? Not bad and only a few points shy of making the final events. Keep working and make that final next time. Thanks for all of the upates and videos

Yes, I am first year junior, so I want to gain as much experience I can. Thank you for your words and I will try my best!

Finally saw Donlan/Bartholomay's short.

I really think they could move up the US rankings. I know Gretchen struggles with her SBS jumps, but there is a sexiness and vibrancy to that program! They have that something. I liked Zhang/Bartholomay a lot, in part because they both seemed like such sweet, positive people. But Gretchen and Nate seem to be really gelling.

 

[Sam-Skwantch]

Judging by the amount of posts I'd say this has been a pretty successful event. I was surprised at how many people tuned in to see what was going down up in Detroit.

Has anyone seen the Canadian Team(I think their last names are Russian, though) Dylan Moscovitch and Lubov I.? Their jumps were quite good, especially the throw jumps.

Yes, I think that lots of people have told me I did well. Personally, I don't think so, but I am also extremely critical of myself, so probably best to not ask me ahaha. I am first year junior and a fairly new competitor(only since '10-'11), so I want to gain as much experience I can. Thank you for your words and I will try my best!

It's good to keep striving so long as you don't sink into perfectionism. 5th in your group is really good!

We're desperate. We're going through withdrawals, and this comp actually had a live stream (unlike Glacier Falls next week :scowl

 

[mnm464]

Also, if anyone has the chance to, could anyone video Tim Dolensky and upload/send me the video? He's one of my friends, but if they don't have a stream I don't know. It would be super cool! Breathes gelatin-I have video of their long, just need to upload. iPhoto taking crazy long! I will post a link tomorrow of the vids!

Video of Lubov/Dylan FS is on TSL Facebook page.

As is Dolensky SP from Skate Detroit ... in case you are not already aware.

If you are asking in advance for Dolensky at Glacier Falls, on-demand video of GF will be available on IN after the fact.
Not live streaming, but on-demand video.

Nine Romeo & Juliets thus far this season:

Sigh. I missed one:

Linde LaChance & Kenneth Anderson

That makes ten Romeo & Juliets.

 

[Eris]

Bobrova and Soloviev don't skate to R&J this season. Their programs are Masquerade and Anna Karenina OST

Their short dance is a combination of Masquerade Waltz and R&J.

 

[sunnystars]

Their short dance is a combination of Masquerade Waltz and R&J.

so that makes it equal to 10 1/2 R and J programs

looks like its gonna be the POTO of this season

So had Luba and Dylan not had that invalid lift, they would have scored 66+ and that's with just a double twist (though I realize club comp scores can be a bit inflated). Still this is a great start for them.

Great to hear the story behind Gretchen and Nate's Chicago program. I agree it was a good move to break away from Gretchen usual m.o. Also I feel like she's gain a bit more power and strength in her skating and Nate seem to have gained some more refinement and polish in his.
