[Seven Sisters]

Hey @moonvine, this kid clearly appreciates stuffies

 

[elbkup]

Go Patrick!!

Love is a Bitch... Jason

Patrick. Great outfit. Really good program and skate.

 

[yelyoh]

Patrick is another skater just about ready for seniors in another year or so.

 

[auser]

Loved the twist from Patrick later in the program. Well done, promising skater.

 

[el henry]

I do love Patrick's energy and the choreo does suit him, Well done!

Sorry, I do not think Bolero is a good match for Sasha right now. He needs more Kévin to pull it off.

That said, he is an elegant skater.

 

[Seven Sisters]

Alexander—Sasha—is clearly going places. Beautiful body control and awareness, throughout

 

[Jeanie19]

Alexandr. Nice outfit. Really good skate.

 

[auser]

Well executed and captivating skate from Aleksandr.

 

[yelyoh]

So glad Alek kept this program as I can really see his maturity growing from last year. Loved the sal/loop. Second I think.

I agree. And Sasha is an elegant skater so I would pick a lighter piece of music.

 

[yelyoh]

Nope just in third. Good skates 1-3. See you later in dance. By just I mean just barely.

Kirk thanking people for the stuffies...where's his other coach?

 

[moonvine]

Kirk brought an actual cauldron to the exhibition? Please tell me video of this exists somewhere.

I know I saw clips of it online, but I think it was on Twitter, and I doubt I'd be able to find them again.

 

[el henry]

Didn't Jackie say that Kirk had switched coaches to Isabeau's coach? I could be wrong.

I don’t know what to say about that. Isabeau’s jump technique is bad.

I watched the top 5. Aleksandr Fegan impresses me so much. His movement and command are really captivating. Way better than most senior skaters already. He doesn't have the most difficult jumps, but he's only 14 still. He'll definitely get there.

Blackwell has relatively nice jumps, but he's not as natural of a mover. He kind of looks like he could splat any second.

I hadn't seen Elano before. Shame about the fall, but there is something Shoma-esque about him.

I'm not on the Haugeto train yet. I love to see a happy kid, and it's nice to see him so proud of himself, but his performance level is a 20 out of 10 when it doesn't have to be. Both the skating skills and jumps need work.
