2024 Skate Ontario Sectional Series | July 19-21

[saine]

I hear someone providing commentary at the Manley rink. I don’t think they realize we can barely hear them. So, he is basically speaking to himself

Yeah, they sound like Jacob White who did commentary for ice dance last night. Hopefully they fix it during the zamboni break

Some interesting recurring technical issues here - Big edge jumps but problems with landing them and absolutely tiny toe jumps.
There's been two or three girls with the same pattern of issues

Reese was the class of this field.
Sophie Mekki though, impressed me. She is someone to look out for, to qualifying to Nationals this season.
No Natasha. I guess, being picked to NextGen was all she wanted. So, no need to skate here.
Lots of girls scoring 31 at this event.

I just realized I’m able to watch the first hour of Senior Women.

Marie-Maude Pomerleau - "Epic" Toxic cover. 3T+3T< Fall. 2S pop. Flying layback spin - Unique. Cartwheel exit out of her other spin. 2A landing right on the beat. CCoSp with a change of spin direction.

42.5

 

[saine]

Okay Marie-Maude, you were close to Challenger scoring range at Challenge, good start for the first comp!

 

[Jumping_Bean]

Katherine Medland Spence - Country Roads instrumental cover? 2A, 3F+2T Hangs on, 3Lo Turn. Jumps looked a bit overpowered, just lacking a bit of control on the landings. Some nice transitions into the spins and jumps.
Not a bad skate at all for Katherine.

53.04

Wow!! Good start to the competition with Katherine’s skate. A good skate for her. Judges are so strict with PCS

 

[Jumping_Bean]

Oh, I like Jade's dress, though it's giving Ice Dance more than singles

here for a few minutes

 

[4everchan]

my fave!!! go Fée Ann!

 

[saine]

I like the song choice for Fee Ann, the intensity works for her.

 

[4everchan]

not bad for july... but she'll need a 3-3

 

[Jumping_Bean]

Fée Ann Landry - Hit the Road Jack Remix. Huge 2A. 3F+2T. 3Lz< two-footed, step-out, hand down. Blue looks great on her.

Decent start to the season, though she really would have wanted to land that 3Lz cleanly.

49.66

 

[Jumping_Bean]

Sara-Maude Dupuis - Never Go Back by Evanescence.
3Lz off-axis, hand down/turn. 2A. Layback spin with edge change feature. 3Lo (hangs on)+attempted 2T (clear forward take-off though).

46.48

 

[saine]

I am so happy Sara-Maude kept her short program from last season, it works for her style really well.

Hopefully she can get a 3-3 in by her Challenger assignment

 

[saine]

Sara-Maude Dupuis - Not sure I recognise the song, could be one by Evanescence? Does anyone else recognise it?

Never Go Back by Evanescence, she kept it from last season She updated her ISU bio with her new free skate too.

 

[Jumping_Bean]

Never Go Back by Evanescence, she kept it from last season She updated her ISU bio with her new free skate too.

I don't even remember most programs from last season, I'm so sorry. Thanks for telling me.

 

[Jumping_Bean]

Justine Miclette. 3F+2T. 1Lo Pop. 2A Fall.

Not the start to the season she wanted.

44.44

 

[saine]

Justine is such a lovely skater, hopefully the jumps will work out at CQE.

 

[Jumping_Bean]

Caitlyn Kukulowicz - 3Lz+2T, 3Lo, 2A - 45.44
