2025 Skate Ontario Sectional Series | Oct 16-19

Eric Swalm - Probably getting a new experience here with having to wait for Rui to be withdrawn after being called. Other than the loop, it was nicely done. Interesting layout too, two spins and the step sequence before his backloaded 2A, making a jump his second last element. 48.76 into second.
 
Senior Men starting, everyone made it for the first warm-up group. Time to get out the candles for David B 🕯️ 🕯️ 🕯️ 🕯️ 🕯️

They called out the second warm-up group with the first, but it's only the first on the ice. Grayson wasn't called out, so he's a withdrawal.
 
David B - Fell on opening 4T, fall on 3A. I needed more candles :( Looked like a 3Lz-2T for the combo. First time trying the layout and something happened at the end, he was holding his face. I think a nose bleed. 55.02
 
David S - landed on the toe pick for his combo but hopped out of it. All the other jumps were good. Fall during the step sequence. 69.77
 
Okay, I think the second warm-up group are all withdrawals, not just Grayson, since they're resurfacing the ice now.
 
Power outage and dishwashing later, apparently Alec is skating? I don't know what's going on. He popped his opening jump. I swear I saw them with the zamboni on the ice before the power went out. 66.85
 
Waaaait, Rilee Eby has a shirt with S Club 7 on it? And wrong music.

Ah ha ha ha, S Club Party! They need to go to Nationals now :D
 
Theroux/Gossard and Batkova/Yang are withdrawals from Junior Ice Dance. Briere/Levesque made it though!
 
Briere/Levesque - she had a fall during what looked like a transition? It'll show up on the protocol what it was on. 51.03, they're still fun to watch.
 
Bashynska/Perron - Nadiia looks grunge-y, Noe needs more grunge, he's in all black. I like Come As You Are, good choice, I like you already. They looked to have good connection. Twizzles not quite in sync. Good first outing (y) Madison Hubbell is with them. 66.24

Edit - I tried recording them, but the audio messed up on it :palmf:
 
Hancock/Dotzert - 50.60 into third.

Foroglou-Gadoury/Anderson - Shania Twain for them. Man I Feel Like A Woman. And then Achy Breaky Heart! And into Cotton Eye Joe, I'm enjoying this one. He looks like he's having fun. 48.52, well they had fun.
 
Here is Bashynska/Perron with no music (Come As You Are/Smells Like Teen Spirit/I Stay Away):


I think the power outage messed things up, the test recordings I did before were fine. But the ones after sound like garbage.
 
@saine thanks for the updates.
Sometimes, I’m jealous I don’t pay for this stream. But, then I see the withdrawals and I’m 50/50

I’m sad for David Bodnar. I think he was hoping for a good performance here to get an international assignment in Seniors. Looks like he will have to wait to next season.

I’m happy for David S. 👏
(Secretly hoping he and Ksenia K become a new pairs team 🙏 😝)
 
Looking at the scores, Victoria won Junior Women Group 1 with 174.91. She could put some pressure on Lia at Nationals. I hope she does, I think Lia needs more of a challenge domestically.

Quinn Startek in silver with 157.41 and Kaylee Sun in bronze with 156.83. Nice to see Kaylee up there :)
