Updated entries here - https://www.skatinginbc.com/sites/d...mance/resources/2024junehpskatergroupings.pdf

Looking at the Internet Archive copy, the major changes were the addition of Travis Trang (Novice silver medalist) to Junior Men and adding everyone's partners for Ice Dance and Pairs. Except Senior Ice Dance where there's only one team.

Just posting here to express my happiness to potentially see some new programs next week. I hope the entries stay the same. But, I have learned to tame my expectations and to expect half of the athletes I’m looking forward to watching to either withdraw or only compete in SP.

I’m most looking forward to the following events (ranked in this order):

1) Senior Men: 2/4 members of Canada National team might compete.
Wesley vs Aleksa vs Liam (American);
Looking forward to just seeing 3A’s and 4T’s

2) Senior Women: Uliana is entered. I hope her jumps have more flow and that she has showed some progress with her skating skills. I do think the judges robbed her of the bronze medal at Nationals last season. She is stuck in limbo land where she is at Senior. But, has to skate as a Junior just to get one international event this season. Also, Amy Shao and Angelina will be there.

3) Junior Boys
William Chan vs David Howes and David Li (will be competitive)

4) Junior Girls
The most boring event. But, I believe two girls at this event competed at Junior Nationals.

I blanked that David Li was under Juniors after competing Senior at Victoria Day I am looking forward to the Junior Women, I like the skaters from Kelowna FSC there, they have good presentation Also looking forward to Ice Dance, I like Nguyen/Giang and Sugino/Marr.

I also like the additional information they posted about what is/isn't in effect:

• As stated in the announcement, the 2023-2024 free program requirements will be in place for all categories at this competition.
• ISU Communication 2623 will be in effect with the exception of information that is highlighted in yellow, as this is yet to be approved.
• The Program Components criteria of Unison will remain under Presentation for this competition.
• The judges will use the 2024-2025 GOE Guidelines.
• The Technical Panel will call elements according to the 2024-2025 Levels of Difficulty ( e.g. new blade feature; no windmill feature for difficult entry/exit).
• New rules for Euler will not be in effect

Updated schedule - https://www.skatinginbc.com/sites/d...mance/resources/junehp2024compsched062024.pdf

From the main page, they had a power outage during the Pre-Novice Women short program last night and had to finish it this morning.

Good job to the Pre-Novice Women skaters who had to skate twice today. I liked Ruby Blake, her reaction to her scores was cute

Karen Butcher is the technical controller for Ice Dance here.

Sugino/Marr Good to see them skating. They've got a cheering section here. They and Li/Feng seemed well-matched, I couldn't tell if there was much difference between them. I guess no scores are being announced for the Novice pattern dances?

Disco got Nguyen/Giang too It was nice performance, it's just going to be a disco year.

i am still trying to make dinner... (got home from coaching very late)... will have to watch archives. I hope they are released fast

Tasha Lai/Mickey Becker-Pos were nice too. Reigning Novice bronze medalists, so starting their Junior career. They had Sir Duke and Don't Go Breaking My Heart. Looked about 5 points behind Nguyen/Giang on the technical tracker, so I think they'll be at NextGen but not JGP yet. 47.73, so good start for them.

And Abba for Malcolm/Chant. 49.2 for the Australian National Champions, it felt rough.

Archives - Novice PD/Junior RD/Senior RD

They combined ice dance into one video.

Chloe and Brendan... not sure this vehicle is good enough... Of course, early in the season but the only element i really liked was the closing step sequence. I didn't connect to the performance.

I am a super fan of these two.. so maybe i am just in a bad mood or expecting too much for early season. They seem to have improved technically (difficulty) but yeah, I want more.

If it's a sign of the RDs to come this year... sigh... yawny 4ever

 

[4everchan]

Also, the amount of adverts while watching replays is not good. Way too many and way too long... SUPER annoying. I am okay with ads once in a while.. but so far, i had 1 minute of ads during Chloe and Brendan's RD and another minute while they wait for scores. Give me a break... an advert break.

Yes. I incurred the same issue. I just got home and I wanted to watch the competition. But, the ads made it a quick no for me. Will watch tmrw live

I hope it's just a BC thing

Chloe Nguyen/Brendan Giang skated their new RD and used Let’s Groove by Earth Wind and Fire which is from 1981 - I don’t think they’re going to be able to use that all season?

Got back in time for the start of Junior Women

They haven't posted any of the results from the ice dance yet on the page

I'm hoping Konstantina makes it to Nationals this year, I like her presentation.
