2025 NextGen Competition | July 17-20

I hope Megan Woodley has a better free skate. I loved her last year and she had some good international marks. But she looked slow and tentative today. Was she injured? Fingers crossed she finds her groove tomorrow
 
Christina and Thierry... new team.... started well but the patterns were wobbly and the lift... yeah... some kinks to fix but i like how well they are matched on the ice.
 
Olympia and Émile : in this RD, with all the music cuts, and how he is carrying her, I cannot help it but have thoughts of Chock and Bates :)
 
Christina Podgornei / Thierry Caron - 39.16
Latin-esque medley including Maria Maria and Smooth by Santana

They look well-matched for a new team. The lift was a problem, but the twizzles were a real highlight.

Summer Homick / Nicholas Buelow - 51.51
Larger than Life (Remix?), Everybody (Backstreet’s Back)

That's a daring dress. Summer is still gorgeous, though. Bit rusty this early in the season, but they'll have another month or so to clean this up.

Emilie Proulx / Corentin Cinçon-Debout - 42.45
Step by Step (Remix)

So cute to have Aurea and her brother compete against each other now. Very baby, these two, but Emilie really draws the eye. Novice Silver medalist at Skate Canada Challenge (i.e. Canadian Novice vice-champions)

Olympia Kalaganis / Émile Deveau - 46.58
Get ready for this, The Power, Space Jam

This just kind of was? Is this too mean? Good lift, but it didn't really grab my attention. Probably would have preferred a bit of a more cohesive musical choice. Definitely not alone in that, though, music cutters are single-handedly kept in business by overeager ice dance choreographers.
 
Twizzle disaster for Auréa and Earl but i really liked the Macarena part on the midline step seq... don't make me regret my words ...meaning that if many teams pick Macarena, I will lose my mind in a couple months from now
They are the first couple that I didn't watch the scores, but just enjoyed the skating. I am a bit worried by their relative sizes; I hope he grows and she doesn't!
 
The Carandiucs will also score less than perhaps I would have expected.... Twizzles and patterns are killing everyone
 
They are the first couple that I didn't watch the scores, but just enjoyed the skating. I am a bit worried by their relative sizes; I hope he grows and she doesn't!
They've looked like this for a while... i don't think he will grow taller... maybe she will...
