Lovely choreo sequence. I feel like this song has been used a few times before, no? A few pops, two falls, but also some highlights like the easy 3Lz right at the start of the program.

How on earth did Megan Woodley end up in this bottom group??!

It looks like she changed coaches to Lee Barkell recently, so it could be that.

think gabby... think maddie... think sara maude... etc... and yup... our Canadian women seem to like the lutz... kaetlyn didn't

Always love colour-matched hair accessories, and love this shade of purple. Her sit spin was great, also the 3Lz+2A to start the program off with a bang. The cover is a bit dreary for my taste, but that's not anything new either, pretty sure this is a recycled program anyway (at least it feels very familiar).

lulu, megan and aleksa...

 

[4everchan]

lulu used magic to land the 3z-3t combo... but with magic, there's always a price to pay....

I know it's early in the season, but Lulu Lin is going to need to refind some form if she wants to qualify for nationals. I don't think she's allowed to drop back down to juniors domestically?

Gauthier/Thierren went back to Juniors domestically after having gone Senior, so it's possible.

Mixed bag - Some redemption, but definitely still in the process of building up to actually being able to execute this amount of technical content. I don't think she'll get a JGP this season, but I could see her coming back with a vengeance at Nationals. I do like that she is very connected to her Chinese heritage and shows that in her program choices, and I love how this dress flows in movement.

Gauthier/Thierren went back to Juniors domestically after having gone Senior, so it's possible.

however, Gauthier/Thierren "wanted" to do that... and with dance the requirements are quite different.... i doubt Lulu wants to even consider competing as a junior at Nationals at this point. She will go for seniors and hope to qualify. I am not worried she will get better as the season goes.

 

[4everchan]

ok... so Megan is injured.. explains a few things

 

[FlossieH]

Megan Woodley is coming back from injury. I didn't know that.

 

[4everchan]

think gabby... think maddie... think sara maude... etc... and yup... our Canadian women seem to like the lutz... kaetlyn didn't

i can go even further... think Josée Chouinard... think Joannie Rochette... think Cynthia Phaneuf all lutzy gals

 

[Cutting the ice]

Lulu is training in Japan now I see. Hopefully she will get her rotations back. I like her maturity in this programme. I am really rooting for Megan too. She looked less worried and tentative today but still a road back.

 

[4everchan]

another mixed bag skate.... on Roulin Mouge

 

[FlossieH]

I wonder whether skaters from other countries will struggle with the Loop as much as the Canadian lasses are.

i don't know but at the same time... in seniors, we often see our woman use the loop as the solo jump... instead of the flip (or lutz) so... i don't know... maybe the juniors worked so hard to get the lutz because of last year requirements that they have neglected the loop a bit ?
