2026 Canadian Nationals : Men's Short Program

[HeadBanger]

Keegan's improved a lot since his fall outings, the jumps are getting close. But seemed to be losing his balance at a few points on elements you wouldn't typically expect it.

 

[auser]

Fun skate from Keegan. I almost thought he was going to stumble going into 4T combo. Happy he didn't.

 

[FlossieH]

Keegan want the Olympic spot. It was too wild for my liking, and it was all showmanship rather than refinement - but that's what audiences and judges like from him.

Those kids are growning up so fast

I am a bit mad at John's PCS .... I have to say that.

Those kids are growning up so fast

and we grow old!

 

[4everchan]

and we grow old!

Speak for yourself

Benoit isn't making Aleksa wear the lime green vest. Also nice to see Gogo smiling before going on

 

[HeadBanger]

Messing was messy but much better than a few weeks earlier with his jumps...
However, I cannot say I approve of his musical selection

It's certainly a choice. Seemed to do some editing to obscure the "USA" refrain a bit

 

[RatedPG]

Ok.
I’m going for PCS over TES in this final flight.

Go Anthony and Romsky!!!

David number 4

 

[saine]

That's the cleanest short from David L I've seen this season

 

[FlossieH]

Almost clean from David Li, but he needed more difficulty for a high placement in this year's field.

 

[ladyjane]

That was a good skate David (the 4th one), even if it's not enough for a medal. Loved watching it anyway!

 

[4everchan]

Good performance with lower value elements for David Li.

We can see why he managed to win a medal last year... very tidy skating.

 

[elektra blue]

keep it together, Wesley

 

[4everchan]

John is in the final flight !

 

[HeadBanger]

WESLEY!

 

[saine]

Clean Wesley Enjoy that moment!
