2026 Canadian Nationals : Women's Long Program

[labgoat]

Oh please don't cry - you have nothing to be ashamed of.

 

[FlossieH]

She's crying, and I don't think those are happy tears.

Gabby has had A LONG ROAD to get back to this shape. She’s very emotional. Aww!

 

[elektra blue]

She may not see it now, but this is a victory.

judging by her tears of joy she understands it

i must be confused

Question Maddie with essentially a clean skate is only three points ahead of second place on technical. Did she miss some levels on her spins or step sequences or something?

Pop on 2A and a combo spin with 2V.

 

[discodisco]

what happened to Sarah Maude????

Blow up.

 

[discodisco]

You know, to be only six points behind Maddie with all those mistakes, I think it's pretty clear the judges were willing to give it to her. If you had put back in the triple that she doubled, as well as the double axle she's singled, and fixed a couple of the tiny jumping errors, she would have been closer to 140.

 

[discodisco]

I think it will be a little humiliating to Maddie if she ends up finishing second with the Clean Program that she skated, so I hope for her sake that isn't the case ...

I'm not sure that Minsol is really selling the attack and attitude needed for this tango-ish music but she is nailing all the jumps - although it looks like there might be a couple minor rotation calls

 

[labgoat]

I love Minsol's posture and facial expressions. She remains as effervescent as ever. Love her technical proficiency. Such a star.

I want Minsol to win National, I'm tired of Madeline up and down. Minsol is the future for Canada now !

I don't think knowing that the judges would have been willing to give it to her with just one or two mistakes less, which is very clearly the case here, will help her at all - If anything, it makes it harder, because you end up with nobody else to blame but yourself

 

[HeadBanger]

Minsol just threw down the gauntlet going forward!

Oh, I agree with you 100%, - it probably makes it more frustrating. But I'm just saying that the judges certainly seemed open to the possibility should she have been clean.

 

[RatedPG]

Yes!! Minsol!!!
I hope they give her the title!!!

It will be close!!

 

[4everchan]

what a boss !!!! maybe a couple carrots...

 

[FlossieH]

Is Minsol going to be Champion??? That was a great skate. It didn't have the maturity, which is understandable when she is really still a junior.

 

[Jumping_Bean]

So happy to have Minsol back I'm guessing her PCS will be below Maddie and Gabby, but how will her TES hold up?

 

[discodisco]

So far it looks like Maddie MIGHT end up finishing second after all ... particularly given that she was about three points behind going into the free skate.

I suspect the judges will still give it to maddie, but this was a great debut

 

[rain]

Well Minsol Kwon was lovely, but it's a little odd to watch someone for whom it's basically an exhibition compared to other women for whom there is so much on the line.

I'd be curious to hear from someone in the arena about her speed. I thought she looked quite slow at times, especially through some of the footwork.

on to dance!
