What this means is that the last two competitions for 4CC minimums for Singles are Skate Helena and World University Games, which are already underway.
never lose hope in Canadian skating. It just goes through cycles.... A few tough years after Joannie... then a few tough years after Kaetlyn, but I can see these young women pushing each other in the next few years.... they are all under 20 (the top flight) and all have room for improvement.... AND, they barely have had any opportunities to compete since covid... It will be exciting to follow.
Fiona is the biggest winner/loser of this event. Madde will be at worlds and 4CC for sure. Kaiya will get JW and most likely 4CC as well.
I kinda feel like she earned the SC host spot. She should also have a senior B before that though
It's been in place since at least 2017 as far as I know.
Yes. I would agree with this. Give the SC host spot and two senior Bs
one this spring and one in the early fall 
I have to transfer my Josée love to Fiona it makes me feel young again LOL
PCS. there is a world of difference between Maddie and all the other final flight skaters. Also, what Maddie did well does receive higher GOE. I wouldn't think 128 is inflated by much.. it's not like they gave her 80 points in PCS... It could have been 125 ... she still would have won.
Exactly what I was thinking. I think they should send Fiona to a Senior B event in the spring after this event. Gabby might not get that automatic SC spot with all this talent emerging from Canada.
She can't get a SB score from a Senior B. But I hope they send her to one. And SC host spot next season.
Damn... so she's screwed... this is not good Skate Canada. @Sackie and I have been complaining all season about SC not sending our women out... and not using the 3rd host spot at SCI.... this is sad.
I agree that PCS deserves to be vastly different between the two. But if you looked at the protocols, it would seem to someone who didn't watch the skate that Maddie had a great skate with 2 very minor mistakes. I think other skaters with the same mistakes would have gotten at least -2s, if not more. Example...her turnout of her 3 jump combo and still getting a bonus on it or multiple judges giving her no deduction on her 3L.
Did Fiona get any assignments this year ay all? Hope this whole women's event has been an eye opening not to put all your eggs in one or even two baskets. I am sure Skate Canada had their eyes only on Maddie, Gabby and Kaiya for big assignments and now with Gabby out they are kind of screwed. Even Katherine Medland Spence has skated well in 3 Nationals now and yet she gets nothing. And what happens ( heaven forbid) if something happens to Maddie?
I think the 3 jump combo did deserve a bit lower GOE.. I also think we can compare some of the axel issues Fiona had with some of the issues Maddie had on the tight landings. Maddie got a bit higher GOE if I recall correctly. So take away 3-4 points. Maddie still wins. At the end, when the placement ends up being correct, I am not really too worried. Kaiya won the free. CHECK. Maddie wins overall. CHECK. If anything, Kaiya could have won this on her own by not making a mistake in the SP which was very costly.
Ice Challenge as a junior. I don't remember if she went to JGP circuit.
