[auser]

Haha Mark talking about men menning.

 

[saine]

Second group is 50% Davids.

 

[4everchan]

everyone should listen to Mark ! Praising Canadian men skaters !

I agree Mark.

Also, I am not happy that my son is on the ice right now.

for my Eddy

 

[soccerjc77]

It really dark theme for Alec, I feel that this type of music doesn't suit him.

 

[Karoltyna]

I didn't make it to ID, but I'm here

 

[auser]

Beautiful choreo sq from Bruce.

 

[4everchan]

awww Bruce... you make me suffer so much... this musical choice is so dark... why are skaters often pick Requiems for skating ? A mass for the dead ? Seriously.

and then, gosh he is handsome.

 

[4everchan]

gosh... his fishnet gloves LOL

 

[4everchan]

rotate David.... rotate !

 

[soccerjc77]

Bruce was really superior in PCS compare to David. I enjoy more Bruce program.

 

[Cutting the ice]

David H sold the programme well. Hoping the hooks will disappear once he gets more training. Enjoyed his performance tho

 

[Karoltyna]

And a random fall...

 

[saine]

Flips are fake, Jake. It's a good program for him, it lets him be happy.

 

[soccerjc77]

Lol I find it funny those fake smile, this remind me Maddie, when she fake smile her whole FS this doesn't look natural at all

 

[yuumagical]

Aww, a Kaori fan!

 

[Karoltyna]

Jake's costume looks like a sweater I had 20 years ago. I loved it but one day couldn't find in anywhere. I suspected my mom took care of it, but not, when I look at him I'm not so sure...

 

[Cutting the ice]

Jake should get a bonus point for skating with joy. Loved it overall although he seemed to get tired in the second half

 

[discodisco]

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: Mark Hanretty has been one of the best additions to international figure skating in the last five years. I knew he competed, but I only really discovered him through his commentary—and it’s outstanding. He’s knowledgeable across all disciplines, insightful, and consistently positive, and I’m always learning something new from him despite following skating for decades.

Having him at Canadian Nationals is an absolute treat. It really highlights the contrast with U.S. Nationals—I honestly don’t think I could sit through an entire event listening to the abominable commentary of Tara and Johnny....

 

[saine]

Maybe not the skate Eddy was hoping for, but he was able to get out three combos and I think that's the first time this season for that.
