2025 IceChallenge | Nov 5-9

4CC entries are due December 24, with the final I don't think they'd have time for another competition unless Skate Canada wrangled them into Warsaw Cup.

Golden Spin?

Announcer screwed up but as long as we have sound

 

[4everchan]

Golden Spin?

they would have to forfeit JGPF if they went to Golden Spin

 

[saine]

Can you remind me when Skate Canada has scrambled for stuff like that ? I don't remember. They usually let it go don't they ?

The ones I remember are Fabbri/Ayer getting Challenge Cup and Denis Ten Memorial in 2024 without being listed as substitutes. I don't think they'll have them substitute Deanna/Max if they had that much of an issue and they have JGPF coming up.

Woah that was a hard fall on that throw but great throw lutz in second half. l. Great costumes for Gabby and Luc. No ending lift though...

but they didn't need score did they? I thought Skate Canada just wanted to show the judges how good they are . because it seems like it's just me and Skate Canada liking them right now... ugh

Gabby and Luc

I am not getting connected to them.
I also wonder about some of their choices.
Why try a 3f-2a and a tough 3lutz when they could do 3t-2a-2a and 3f and score much higher.
The lifts are always iffy. Luc is a good lifter but Gabby doesn't seem to enjoy flying... and of course, the twist will remain an issue until they can try a triple. The double is not only just a double but it's not that good of a double.

Of course, let's give them time to develop but yeah...

 

[crystalspin]

Great job from K/E! Not as clean as we have seen them but wow they have the IT factor. Great save on the combo from Ava, I hope by final they are adding at least one double axel to it.

 

[4everchan]

Ava and Yoni did better in my opinion than what the judges are showing with all this red

Good for them.
The last upgrade needed will be 3s-2a-2a eventually but at least they do 3s-1a-1a and 3t so they still earn good scores for that.

If that TES stays, they will get all their minimums

 

[Ziotic]

WTH is with the GOE for K/E??

 

[crystalspin]

Great job for them on getting their minimums!

 

[4everchan]

Score wasn't very high..

 

[4everchan]

WTH is with the GOE for K/E??

I so agree... judges just pissed off or something

Me, looking at a lot of the scoring this season (in both directions, and across a variety of competitions):



I know, judging has always been an issue in this sport, but this season, there's not even a motive or direction to it, it's just all over the place. Literally.

For reference, K/E got 8 points less in PCS then at the JGP?

And hasn't been less than 50 since 2023?

I forgot for a second that Shin/Nagy and Liu/Bedard have the same FS music, but at least we'll get a very direct comparison here

 

[4everchan]

Balazs is so handsome but he is looking more out of breath on the ice than I am looking at him LOL

 

[crystalspin]

That was really nice from Shin/Nagy.

NHK was interesting for pairs and dance. I went to bed after that.. but yeah

 

[crystalspin]
