That was lovely from Breken.

some but really nice comeback for breken

 

[RatedPG]

Wow!! I screamed so loud my entire neighborhood complex heard me…

This is for sure a 100+ skate. Hoping she gets close to 110, if not over.

I’m so happy for Breken!!

Edit: 150.97 - Solid; I think she will join her training partner Quinn Startek at Nationals

Nice skate... unfortunately I think only the salchow was fully rotated. She has a way of under rotating by close to half a turn and yet not falling...

 

[4everchan]

ugh it cannot stop snowing here...

103 LP
150 ! Yay
that should be enough.

So much talk about the team event but the reality is that you don't get to strategize when you only got one man and one woman. You also don't get to swap out Deanna and Max when Lia and Trennt have been so inconsistent.

Can you swap Piper and Paul will LaLa ? Probably only for the Free dance, if Canada is not going to win a medal and just wants to rest Piper and Paul. I doubt that Fournier-Beaudry and Cizeron would do the team event or its Free Dance portion as France is unlikely to contend for a medal with how weak their pairs and women are... So that's one team that wouldn't beat the Canadians in the Free Dance... but the Italians, if they don't perform perfectly well and Canada does a bit better than expected would be in race with Canada for the bronze (and maybe with Georgia too) so there is no way you can send your dance team number 2... even if it's a high quality team like LaLa.

So, first day, is easy... your man, your woman, Piper and Paul and Deanna and Max
Second day, your man, your woman and then if Canada is still in the race, you have to send the top teams again. If Canada is out, you can send you team number 2 and rest Piper and Paul and Deanna and Max for their individual events.

Not rocket science... It took me much longer to type it than to understand it.

This is a commonsense post. I'm not certain how far in advance rosters for the team event must be submitted, but if memory serves, the federation doesn't have to submit rosters for both segments before the event starts. There are two separate roster submissions, and the second one comes after the first events are finished. Is that your recollection?

yes

MFD (not the star dancer./coach but this skater lol) rotates so slowly... good she manages to do her jumps for the most part but she will never get high GOEs on them.

Wow!! Im so used to the Marie’s populating 1/3 of the second half at Nationals. This year is so tough. Another solid skate. Wow

She got 6 <s and 1 Q. and yes only the two salchows and the first 2a were correctly rotated

 

[Cutting the ice]

Last year 150 was good enough for 8th place at Challenge. I sure hope Breken makes it to nationals. She also got a deduction 1- I am assuming time violation?

140.95. Just ahead of Jade by less than a point. Could be crucial.

Good calls. I could see the unders.
You can tell she was solely focused on jumps and I was just happy there was no pops.

rough start for Sinclair

has to be a time violation since there are no F on the protocols.

Rough skater for Kassidy... I did not like the music cut at all but at least she did get a combo out at the end

 

[auser]

Hope Addison Pehl is okay. She stopped skating in a couple of spots.

 

[4everchan]

MRS : some of it good.. some of it not good... I feel she will be on the bubble

 

[saine]

Amy, Challenge is where you lock-in, you can do it

 

[4everchan]

mmm... a bit lower than I thought for Marie-Raphaële ... 138 is not good enough this year I am afraid.

Will we even get one marie at nationals ?
