2024 Canadian Nationals Senior Men SP

[Dr. Jenn]

Wow - Fantastic job, Mikhail!! I have never even heard of him, but I was quite impressed. He's very polished and refined, and I love his landing positions and posture. He takes his time and completes his movements really well. He's definitely someone to watch!

Mikhail Mogilen :
Each jump was well excecute with nice flow on the landing
A lot of repetitive similar ballet movement in the choreography maybe changing some of the arm movement for improving the program ...
He will be happy with this skate, he skate well overall !

How is Bruce YOUR Bruce ?

MINE. MINE. MINE.

Wow!! He can be yours. Just leave Romsky for me

I always have to check myself when watching early groups of developing skaters. I hope to see surprises, a new skater to watch, a potential favorite. But sometimes I forget that these young guys work incredibly hard to make their national championship, which might be the greatest honor of their skating career that they'll ever have.

But I agree with your main point. There's got to be a be a way to provide knowledgeable, and yet encouraging, commentary without proclaiming the rebirth of John Curry for a skater who is not there, at least yet.

we are on the same page... For most of these guys, the achievement is to be at Nationals. Let's celebrate them.
Let's call the Patrick Chans, when we see them... I haven't seen a Patrick Chan anywhere since he did retire.... maybe with the exception of Joseph Phan who was approaching that quality but not quite yet... Jo had to retire with a very serious knee injury... so we will never know if he may have gotten there.

romsky is all yours.

you are welcome.

i love this mozart...

I somehow always hope they change the program and stick with the concerto and not the crappy musical in the second half.

Alec is improving though.. his camel spin was gorgeous

I had just posted that I looked for new talent worth following in the early groups.

And right on time, Mikhail showed up. Never heard of him, but he brought something different, and he delivered it with confidence.

As you note, improvements are necessary, but that was very admirable.

 

[Dr. Jenn]

What a shame about the fall on the 3F and missing combination! There's something very likeable about Alec, and I do find that he is improving each year. Hopefully he'll be able to have a great FS!

 

[RatedPG]

Alec was having the skate of his life.
Leaving the combo at the end was risky.
But, Alec can definitely skate 75+ with this clean program.

Good try Alec!!

you are such a combo afficionado

 

[4everchan]

Anthony's first spin for the win. That element alone should be worth 10 points.

 

[saine]

Good job Anthony! Keep getting the jumps! And no reviews either!

 

[RatedPG]

Bravo Anthony!!
So artistic!! With Corey gone, he might be my 2nd favourite Canadian guy!! I hope they give him a high PCS score.

 

[Dr. Jenn]

That was a really interesting and engaging program - Well done, Anthony! The jumps were a bit squirrely, but the rest of the program was great! I love his innovation and flexibility. He definitely held my attention the whole time.

 

[auser]

Love Anthony's artistry as seen in his beautiful spin positions and the interesting and beautiful shapes he creates on the ice.

Anthony Paradis :
Very unique skater
I enjoy every spin was Wow !
The choreography is his strenght.
The combo jump was ok
Double axel well executed
Triple loop maybe a little underotated or a Q
Overall this skater is special and have that something captivating in his personnality on the ice.

 

[rain]

I really appreciated the innovative choreography. Not just the cool moves but how they were integrated and grouped together, how he got in and out of them.

 

[4everchan]

I think Anthony should remove the Biellmann though because that spin without it is worth more points... his flexibility is impressive but getting there is making him lose momentum in that spin... however, the illusion in the first spin I believe is the best in the world right now. Now I understand why the ISU bulleted that feature for the spins... if done like this, it's amazing... too bad, that was the first ever one I saw that looked good

 

[Dr. Jenn]

Also, that was a really great, sharp ending!
