I hope she's competing at NextGen considering Annika Behnke and Kole Sauve are competing here, but only in Junior SinglesNo Lia Cho in Junior Girls
I wanted to see her at this event.
(Does this mean she is competing at NextGen instead? But, that event should only be for JGP eligible athletes right?)
Hopefully they're still together for Pairs and are competing at NextGen too!Probably NextGen and this one. They both have a good chance of a JGP spot. And if they do well here, hopefully Skate Canada will give them a Challenger.
Happy to see them along with EthanDamien and Matthew, as well for Senior Men
Plus Brian Chiem (Antony Cheng posted a preview of his FS here) The schedule initially had 2 Senior Men competing, so there will be a full podium at least. Hoping Matthew does well so he can finally get a Challenger after his injury last season.Let’s hope that the reason is because Next Gen is a week prior. So, back to back competitions might be too much.I hope she's competing at NextGen considering Annika Behnke and Kole Sauve are competing here, but only in Junior Singles

No Lia Cho in Junior Girls

most likely
meh... never really liked amelia's skating that much and i think it will be worse for me to see orzel and no conrad... but i m very thrilled she is back and hopefully healthy
Happy to see Grace on this list
Damien and Matthew, as well for Senior Men
Here's the rules (from here):
So Lulu could stay as a Junior if she wanted to, but considering she has the second highest international score of the Canadian women, moving up makes sense. She could be on the podium as a Senior. Anthony Paradis stayed in Junior after winning in 2021-22 and only moved up to Senior domestically in 2023-24.
What exactly is nextgen? On the skate Canada website it says it's a competition + camp but theres no other info. I'm assuming it's for junior and senior skaters? And a national event?No Lia Cho in Junior Girls

Rose and Uliana will be interesting in Senior Women. Will they do NextGen and this event or just focus on Senior category this season?
For @4everchan At least Conrad’s sister Amelia, is on the list. Hopefully, this will soften the blow you experienced with Conrad’s retirement.

It's for the Skate Canada NextGen Team - here's the 2023-24 team on the current page https://skatecanada.ca/high-performance/nextgen/
Ohhh I see, thanks.It's for the Skate Canada NextGen Team - here's the 2023-24 team on the current page https://skatecanada.ca/high-performance/nextgen/
The competition helps determine Junior Grand Prix spots. Some of them will have to be entered before the competition ends, since Riga has an entry deadline of July 25. But alternates can be shuffled for that since it isn't official until it's on the International Events page
Since Lia isn't eligible for the JGP yet, she'd be going for the experience and development. I'm waiting for them to post the information, I got all excited when I saw that they added a page for the Start Orders now, but it's still 'Information Coming Soon'
The Junior international age limit has been 13 for quite a long time, it'll give her more time to develop and grow. She could have more opportunities to compete internationally at the Novice level if she continues at the level she has shownOhhh I see, thanks.
It's really upsetting how they moved the age to compete at junior so high.
Do you think we will see Lia's new short and free program? Also even though she isn't eligible for JGP I'm pretty sure she can still compete domestically and nationally, thank God
They just posted the starting orders on the Skate Canada website, and luckily Lia Cho is competing along with Ksenia Krouzkevitch and Sandrine Blais.The Junior international age limit has been 13 for quite a long time, it'll give her more time to develop and grow. She could have more opportunities to compete internationally at the Novice level if she continues at the level she has shown
As for if she'll have new programs there, not sure if she'll be part of the competition at NextGen. They've had skaters part of the NextGen team last season who didn't compete due to issues such as injuries
I think it was a fall on the 3F and then another fall on what was going to be the combo.
