There should be a contingent of skaters from British Columbia here.

Connaught posted their skaters entered here:


And a post-NextGen article on Calissa Adlem and Gabrielle Jugnauth mentions that they'll be competing here (likely with Konstantina Lock and Emily Sales joining them for Junior/Senior Women respectively):

The entries are up now.

Soho Lee is on the senior women's entries. I wasn't sure if we'd see her compete again.

Lia/Trennt, I had a hunch when I saw their stories about flying today!

Also it's a Skate BC/YT party from the entries.

This should be an interesting event. Maddie Schizas in the ladies. Trent and Lia and some good American pairs, a no-real-favorites-at-first-glance men's event just waiting for someone to break out.

All you dirty criminals need to get me links to pirated videos.

Does anyone have a live stream link? Or the schedule?

Sorry for the delay, I have a link to the live scores/results: https://ijs.usfigureskating.org/leaderboard/results/2025/35645/index.asp

By the way, I am considering attending the Glacier Falls Classic on Saturday as long as I get my class project done before then. If all goes well, I may be able to do some rink reports.

Senior Pairs SP:



Comparing the actual skates to the protocols, there was a little bit of generosity on some elements here, but it's a domestic competition early in the season, so that's to be expected.

Haven't looked at the protocols, but I'd probably place them this way: 1 Trent/Lia 2. McBeath/Parkman 3: Shin/Nagy. But it would be relatively close. Interestingly, the higher value elements looked reasonably good (Parkman bailed on his sbs jump), but those spins - bad across the board.
I think McBeath/Parkman looked a little faster, smoother, more polished than the other two, and it wouldn't surprise me if they won PCS. But again, fairly close I'd imagine.

Edit: I've looked at the protocols, and things didn't quite turn out as I thought. Shin/Nagy edged the other Americans for second, and Mcbeath/Parkman landed third in PCS - I do not agree with this last one. All programs were overscored IMO, but it's fine.

Calissa 150.36 I like the American judges!

I enjoyed that.

Why didn't Shin/Nagy's death spiral get called? It looked like she got low enough, but was it not for long enough?

I think Balazs had issues with his pivot foot, but don't quote me on that.

I'm still trying to figure out all the rules for pairs, but my guess is that he did some kind of a shift of his pivot foot at the start. Something looked weird to me there, anyway. Maybe it was something else, though. I expected to see them bail out of the whole thing, since I looked at the protocols first. So it looked better than I expected, but still zero points.

Well, we agree, anyway.

I also looked at the protocols first, and had a similar first reaction, so we agree on that, too.

I looked at the protocols first, found their death spiral wasn't the disaster I expected, then rewound it three times. There is something which looks odd with his pivot foot, but the toe pick stays in place (unless he went too high over the toe pick?).
