2017 GP Skate Canada Mens SP

[karne]

In thy name, let all be uninjured and well.
By thy grace, let Brendan skate cleanly, that he may strive to show all his talent.
With thy power, let Jason show us the full strength of his power.
In the name of thy jumps, let nobody win who has fallen.
Amen.

Looking forward most to Patrick, Jason and Jorik:agree:

Hoping Jason will turn a corner with the 4T...

I'm so ready for Shoma to win! He's my absolute favorite! Shoma for olympic Champion

I much preferred the lineup at Rostelecom last week, but I am excited to see Nicolas & Cha Jun Hwan debut. Very surprised to see so many people put Samarin so high in their predictions...were you blinded by the silly scoring at the Cup of Russia? I suppose anything is possible, but I would not put my money on him. Especially not with those programs.

Starting Order is out!

How is Patrick looking??? If I weren't already going to Nationals, I would have gone to this event.

 

[Violet Bliss]

How is Patrick looking???

Nobody knows. He's been playing the Where's Waldo game with his fans. No show at practice today.

P.S. He's going for 1 quad SP and 2 quad LP at this event, shelving the 4S for now. We are anxious to see the debut of his new programs.

Didn't he say in the summer that his programs will have multiple quads this season? I'm actually interested to see his improvements on the quads.

Yes he did. I'm eager to see them.

Has Samarin changed his FS? i don't remember this music at the test skates, but it's nicer. (still a brave choice, but fits him more)

The jumps looks nice here, great 4Ltz.

Looks like Brendan's changed his FS also. Pink Floyd was played for him in practice.

OK, so now I am really interested in seeing this program.

I would think that type of music would suit him very well.

Patrick Chan arrives late, loses luggage on way to Skate Canada

He doesn't have his costumes but luckily he traveled with his skates in the carry-on. He says it's a good adventure and he is rolling with the punches.

Woah! That's a series of unfortunate events! Go Patrick!

I don't think anyone will really notice if he just buys something from Kohls - or whatever its equivalent is in Canada...nobody watches him for the costumes, such as they are

I'm glad he had his skates with him!! Javier Fernández had similar problems with his luggage some seasons ago —can't remember when exactly. What a mess! I hope he gets his costume in time...
Btw, but a bit off topic, I thought you couldn't carry your skates in your carry-on luggage... Because, you know, blunt objects, and blades!
Was I doing it wrong all this time? :O

Skates are not allowed in carry-on on international flights. Patrick is lucky they are allowed on domestic US flights and those to Canada. Lost luggage with skates in it has caused quite a few serious concerns for skaters.
