2021 Autumn Classic International: General Info

[ladyjane]

It will be good to see all these pairs. I'm really looking forward to this event! Hopefully there is a good live stream.

i don't see why there wouldn't be a good livestream as they did it for championnats which was also in Pierrefonds. Considering the event is without fans, (latest news I have is no tickets.... ) then, it is even more likely there will be a good livestream

Pulkinen has withdrawn from the Men event. Phan too. Two more Canadians have been added: Samuel Angers and Beres Clements.
However, now the Men field is all Canadians, meaning it won't count as International competition.

On the other hand, Pair field is increasing. Cain/LeDuc and McBeath/Bartholomay now added.

I still think ISU should work more with organisers to harmonise the schedule through the season. There are 3 non-invitational Single events held in North America during the whole season. And 2 out of 3 take place in the same week. It also gives less opportunities to second/third tier skaters based in NA who have less opportunities to compete internationally without flying to Europe.

I think it will interesting to see how Cain/LeDuc match up with most of the best Canadian pairs.

The men's field has been decimated, and that's too bad. I wish we could get some lower ranked US men there... it would give them some experience and exposure without travel to Europe. It wouldn't be the same for the event as sending USA top guns, but it would give the event at least a full flight of men.

 

[4everchan]

Very sad about the men. I like jo and camden very much

I think Autumn Classic was previously livestreamed via Dailymotion.

 

[Brauliomx]

Yes, the event is always streamed via dailymotion

They really should have just made the US Classic the Challenger event if Canada can't even get an international field. Canada's inability to hold international figure skating competitions since the pandemic was well know when they handed out which events were going to be part of the Challenger series.

Canada's inability to hold international figure skating competitions since the pandemic was well know when they handed out which events were going to be part of the Challenger series.

I do not believe one moment that Canada's inability to hold international figure skating competitions is a factor here... One could mention skaters from countries like Japan who do not travel at this point and are usually fixtures of ACI. I believe it is the same with the Australians who are also often competing in Canada. I have been to ACI many times and I can tell you that other than in men, the field is comparable to other years.

The borders are open to vaccinated tourists, as of last week, and athletes have had an exemption for the quite some time... The reality is that Nebelhorn is just around the corner and some athletes have to compete there. For instance Vincent Zhou and Roman Sadovsky may have competed at ACI if they didn't have to go to Nebelhorn. In an Olympic year, with risks associated to travels, I am sure that many athletes and coaches prefer focusing on training rather than competing so early in the season. I mean, there are Canadian skaters who have withdrawn as well, including Joseph Phan who often competes in Quebec when he can. The US Classic would probably have suffered the same lack of attendance from Japanese and many other skaters. I think that it's time to drop some of these negative comments about Skate Canada and Canada.

l don't think this link has been posted yet?

The event starts in just a few days, you'd think the schedule would been have posted by now.

Worst case, you’ll find out once they hit the ice for short program warmups. Unfortunately for them, they have to reveal the names at that point. Haha

 

[chuckm]

We do know the names of the competitors, but we have no idea of the start day/time and order of each event.

Problem is, this competition directly conflicts with the US International event, so it's impossible to plan any kind of watching without knowing both schedules. The schedule in the Announcement isn't reliable because there have been so many withdrawals in all the disciplines.

There are US skaters in all the disciplines except Men, and I would like to be able to see how they do.

 

[skylark]

Will the AC skates be available in videos after the event? I think they have been in past years.

I'm very invested in this competition ... but I have Real-Life duties and pleasures that I need to plan around the competition's livestreams. I need that schedule! Don't know if that will work completely, so I need a good back-up.

Are those scores current? Gabby Daleman's 192.67 was from Worlds 2019, 2.5 years ago. She hasn't scored anywhere near that since then.
