2026 Canadian Nationals : Men's Long Program

[discodisco]

Anthony was really focused jumps-wise today, showing off his great GOE quality on those elements. The 3A was a good attempt rotation-wise and he's been landing them in practice, so I don't mind him going for them in competition. Having watched Anthony skate for years, his jumps have gotten so much stronger technique-wise over the past few seasons and now he just needs to work on consistency, but I feel like he is making progress with every competition he does.

VERRRRRRRRY close on the axel.

I have just missed Anthony.

What else have I missed?

 

[snowflake]

Anthony has some unique movements I like. And skating brilliantly to great music. But to be nice his costume is distracting

 

[discodisco]

Wow - HUGE presentation score - 78+

Bondar is hanging on by the skin of his teeth. The jumps are very scratchy, and the lack of refinement and choreographic commitment is especially noticeable after Anthony. It’s not a fair comparison, but David really needs to get deeper into his knees—otherwise the scratchy jumps and tentative skating are really going to hurt his scores.

 

[saine]

Not perfect, but he was able to move his combos after the 3Lz fall.

I think David lost the JWC spot with the lutz fall. I expect Anthony to surpass him due to PCS

 

[FlossieH]

Oh David.. those splats are not how you book your spot for junior worlds.

 

[discodisco]

Will the quad attempt and two 3A's be enough?

 

[4everchan]

well tough choice...

who to send to junior worlds ? Anthony or David ?

Heading back south to watch Free Dance. Hope to catch up with rest of Men FS later. Thank you for watching with me it has been fun.

Would be nice if there was still a pro circuit and he could go there and really let loose

 

[RatedPG]

Go Keegan!! Try to make it to 4CC at least please

 

[saine]

Just ahead of Anthony, this is what happens when you like the short!

 

[snowflake]

No more fallas please! GO Keegan!

 

[RatedPG]

Wow! David B is happy. By 0.13 points!!

 

[discodisco]

Wow. 0.13 lead.

I am sorry but I'd rather we give that spot to someone who has skating in his future. Our boys need the opportunities.

 

[FlossieH]

Very tough choice. I think I am more confident in David making it through to the free, but it wouldn't be guaranteed for either of them.

Does he want it? I hope!
