2023 Canadian Nationals Sr. Men's Free Skate

[Lamente Ariane]

But back to now, I liked the opening of Antoine's program and his commitment to the choreography, well done Joseé Chouinard

As a fan of Alaine Chartrand... yeah, agreed. I've never gotten fully invested in Roman but I definitely know the cactus pain intimately, and am rooting for him to find what he needs to find in himself. Also hope he continues to have a strong support system, particularly people who he knows will be there for him outside of skating.

Alaine.... I still am of the belief she should have gone to the 2018 Olympics.

Spartacus is sublime music for figure skating: masculine,yet melodious. More men should utilize this music.

 

[yesterday]

Is this already iconic enough to call it Spartolev?

 

[labgoat]

I Still believe in Gogo...and the power of Spartacus.
So does the crowd...great redemption skate today.

 

[4everchan]

I don't know how i feel now... elated or frustrated ... well done Stephen

 

[Mariiiiskate]

Omg what a redemption skate from Gogo

 

[GGFan]

Talk about a redemption skate. Stephen was a completely different person tonight. Congrats young man!

 

[yesterday]

not bad, not bad!

 

[Jeanie19]

Stephen. Great skate, great redemption.

 

[Lamente Ariane]

Alaine.... I still am of the belief she should have gone to the 2018 Olympics.

Me too. Nothing against Larkyn, I hope she had a good Olympic experience, but... Still, we'll always have Nationals 2019, I cry every time I rewatch that free skate.

Gogo Spartacus rotated more times than I expected to see anyone in this event accomplish! This is redemption, this is throwing down the gauntlet, and this is how to transcend a bizarre shirt.

 

[Dr. Jenn]

Amazing comeback by Stephen!! Wow! This is how he can really skate. It's so impressive how he has stuck with it, year after year, through a huge growth spurt, injuries, and other issues. Most skaters wouldn't be able to go from doing quads as a tiny four foot-whatever kid to a six foot-whatever adult. Awesome job, Stephen!!

 

[4everchan]

not bad, not bad!

we may have been the best LP of the night... 3 quads, 2 3axels... all combos done (one salchow could have been a triple after the EU but other than that..)

 

[YuBluByMe]

Aight! Gogolev’s skating does little for me, but that was a redemption skate! Way to go!

 

[auser]

Nice comeback Stephen. Liked the way his confidence and joy built as the program went on. Congrats!

 

[Lamente Ariane]

Wow!! That free skate is gonna climb and no mistake, but how far?

 

[Jeanie19]

Kevin is a great commentator. His voice is so nice.

 

[xabia]

Who’s the guy with Steven in the K&C?

 

[RatedPG]

Wow! Where was this Stephen during the short program?
He landed 4T and two 4S and two 3A TES score 90+; I’ve been waiting for a Canadian guy to land two different quads.
He is good and he could have just secured himself a spot for Junior Worlds with this skate
