2023 Canadian Nationals Sr. Pairs Short Program

[Ziotic]

All of these teams have better twists then previous Canadian champs

Has Emmy been to nationals in singles? I worry about nerves

She's been to Jr Nats twice as a Singles skater (2018/19 and 2019/20), so hopefully, she can draw on that experience to calm any potential nerves

Busy day for Lia.

and think, she could end up in second here too

I have missed seeing Nadeau and his masculine artistry. Seeing him again almost makes me feel like I'm 49 again.

Oh my Nic & Emmy are such a beautifully matched team. I am so impressed by how well they are already doing. They have exceeded my expectations.

 

[elektra blue]

not bad, scary lift

 

[Dr. Jenn]

Pretty solid skate by Nicolas and Emmanuelle! I love how joyous Nic looked throughout the program.

 

[labgoat]

Is Emmy related to Norm Proft?

 

[Carol1]

That was a strong program, just in need of cleaner jumps and spins performed in the same time zone.

 

[Seven Sisters]

Well, I have seen smoother pairs programs. But Nic seemed to be having a blast and it is wonderful to see him looking so happy. I am here for it!

 

[Jumping_Bean]

They're a well-matched team, no doubt about that.

The lift was a bit scary, and some small issues on the Throw and the Side-by-Side 3S, but after she had issues with it in the warm-up, I am happy she more or less got it done in the program itself.

 

[elektra blue]

oh no botched lift

 

[Dr. Jenn]

Too bad about the lift issue - Otherwise, that was a pretty decent skate. I have never heard of/seen this team before, but they have several nice qualities.

Love how encouraging Bruno is being in K&C.

 

[Jumping_Bean]

To be honest, this is the first time I see Tilda and Gabriel but there's something about them that I really like (the twist and throw ) and the program is very pretty (as is her dress - and both of them, as well).

They did a very beautiful sbs-3S in the warm-up, shame it didn't work that well here. Shame about the lift too, but better keep it safe and bring her down than risk an injury.

I wonder if it wouldn't be possible for them to represent Sweden (where Tilda is from), they'd have no competition there

 

[elektra blue]

Trent and Lia, it's 23:18 here, keep me awake

 

[Ziotic]

Well you can tell that throw was new

 

[Jumping_Bean]

Well you can tell that throw was new

Yeah, they only had double throws before that, so great progress even if it's not the prettiest throw ever yet.

 

[elektra blue]

messy lift, but they delivered. it's also a pleasure to see Trent too

 

[Dr. Jenn]

Great job, Lia and Trennt! I really like the program. They are both really strong skaters, and they are well matched. There were just a few tiny issues, but otherwise, there was lots of impressive, world-level skating.
