I wonder if Kevin’s strict calling has anything to do with how frequently he himself was called for < during his skating career.Kevin Reynolds is the new Shin Amano. Super strict tech panel for women at challenge. Many got dinged. However, it's good that our home events do not have inflated scores
With 33 senior women competing and only 17 moving to Nationals, it will be quite intense tomorrow. You gotta watch this.
that was my original thought too
but you know, considering the little bit we know about him and his persona, (from interviews and commenting events) Kevin is super smart and a class act... so I would say he is just very diligent and likes work well-done. It's been quite consistent too. The big jumpers who rotate fully don't get in trouble 
Didn’t mean to be snarkythat was my original thought too
- like you it was just the first thing that popped into my mind. But I’m sure you’re right. I know he’s super smart and have also heard that he’s great as a commentator, so the skating world is lucky to have him. For some reason I thought he was going to medical school but I guess I was mistaken.
Don't worry... it's a fact that he's URed A LOT.Didn’t mean to be snarky
Indeed
No idea about that... I think he was studying at UBC but I don't know what his major was.
According to wikipediaDidn’t mean to be snarky
he reminded my of Jo and Patrick a bit... well apparently his idol is Chan He seems to already have knee issues from growing and also had a ball joint fracture at some point so let's hope his body holds up.makes sense your picks for 4CC - I am sure we will see some spring competitions for skaters if they also repeat at Nationals. Youth Olympics will be interesting - might see Fee Ann, Hetty or Uliana sent as Lulu is too young.
Fee Ann was born in May 2005, so she's not eligible for YOG for age reason (and is in her last season of junior eligibility too.) Not sure about Uliana's citizenship status, so it may end up being Hetty. Hetty had the highest score of the Canadian women on the JGP, so I'd go with her after her performance here.
Why not Kaiya to YOG? Kaiya is age eligible too. SC may like to send her out again.Fee Ann was born in May 2005, so she's not eligible for YOG for age reason (and is in her last season of junior eligibility too.)

The selection criteria says that the entries will be announced tomorrow, so we'll find out soon
Kaiya may want to concentrate on competing as a senior internationally and go for 4CC instead. She has the second highest SB of the senior women so far and right now is the #2 Canadian women internationally. SCI went rough, but that's part of learning how to compete at this level. 4CC would be a more valuable experience for her than YOG in the long-term.
I don't think Kaiya has competed as a junior at all this year? Given the timing compared to your nationals, it might not be the best point to start rehearsing two programmes. Looking at her layout from Skate Canada, her short programme is okay for juniors (she has the solo lutz and the flying sit spin in) but her free programme would need some adapting.
Do you have 2 spots at junior worlds, or just one?
Canada has two entries for women at Junior Worlds.
As mentioned above, two. I would add that often, Skate Canada will assign the national junior champion plus an age eligible competitive skater when there is more than one spot.. Like Wesley has done last year... If I were Skate Canada, I would send him to jw again this year and three other skaters at 4cc.. to spread spots around...
