2023 Canadian Nationals Sr. Pairs Short Program

[Carol1]

Trennt and Lia had a stronng program as well! I hope she gets a nice dinner and a hot bath after the day she's had.

Imagine if Lia ends up in a position where she'd usually be sent to 4CC in both pairs and women's (I know she doesn't have 4CC FS minimums for Singles, but there's still a bit of time, I think)

Edit: Well there's no need to worry about this situation, as she can't get 4CC FS minimums in time as a Singles skater, so they could only send her in pairs anyway,

I kept thinking as I watched that, Trennt is truly talented, and with a first rate partner and decent music, he’d be a force to reckon with. Nothing against this young lady, but there’s no wow factor, and that music was uninspiring. We can do better, my friends.

I actually find them well matched, she just needs more time.

But Brooke and Benjamin are my favourites

I was thinking that they seem well matched and did really well, especially for a debut at nationals.

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

I liked this team, and thought they have loads of potential. Gabriel has a bit of a Michael Marinaro slouch, but otherwise is a really nice skater.

Look forward to seeing them in future.

Busy day for Lia.

Yes it is but I think doing both seems to be good for her.

 

[elektra blue]

excelent job

 

[GGFan]

Hoping this young pair stays together long-term. They could do great things with their lines, extension, etc.

 

[Dr. Jenn]

Really nice job by Brooke and Ben! She's definitely the star of the team - I find myself watching her, and the save on the throw was impressive. He needs more stretch and better posture. They definitely have lots of potential. Well done!

I was thinking something similar, from the first few seconds -- Trennt looked like a dancer, while Lia looked like a beginner beside him ... but of course that's exactly right. Well done, especially considering they've been together a few months.

 

[Ruthypegs]

They skated really, really well, but I found the routine to be a bit uninspiring...

Lia is actually a contender for junior worlds, depending on how the women's free skate goes!

Beautiful skate from Brooke and Benjamin. Love this program for them, his expression, and their smoothness together.

[GGFan]

I'll be real, I tuned in from Deanna, but this group is keeping me engaged. I'm feeling good about the future of Canadian pairs.

 

[Dr. Jenn]

Wow - Fantastic job by Kelly Ann and Loucas! They both perform well, and it was nice to see a different style from the other pairs. They have a bright future ahead of them!

 

[Ruthypegs]

So much potential with so many of these Canadian pairs teams - fantastic!

 

[Ziotic]

These teams are going to claw at each other for the next 4 years. I expect good things coming from Canadian pairs!
