2026 Canadian Nationals : Women's Short Program

[readernick]

SMD is my favorite Canadian woman. I'm rooting for her. I know it's a long shot.

 

[4everchan]

what ? I would have put her in first.

Top 3 separated by less than a point.

I think Sara Maude needed to go clean. That landing could be costly because they were generous with Gabby.

Comr on, Maddie. It's Do or Die time. With a clean program here I can see her scoring in the low 70s, and she needs that buffer going into the free skate.

 

[discodisco]

Perfect combo!!!

 

[4everchan]

pop... oh no

 

[soccerjc77]

OMG !!! Yess !!! Gabby will surpass Maddie, I'm so happy !!!

 

[saine]

Rittberger, when I find you...

Wow! Maddy just doubled the loop for no points. Her lead is not guaranteed now.

 

[discodisco]

Aaaaaand the middle section with the over the top emoting... followed by a double loop. Shoot.

 

[YuBluByMe]

Kwon is going to win the SP!

 

[readernick]

Maddie's skating isn't my favorite (spins and SS aren't the best) but she's most enjoyable when she's fierce. This program started out and ended fierce but the middle lacked energy and that's when she popped.

 

[4everchan]

she's angry at herself...

I will give her that : she didn't let the popped loop affect her performance.

 

[RatedPG]

OMG!! The loop ruined Maddie
I think they will place her 4th

 

[discodisco]

I feel like she was holding back in that program. A bunch of the spirals and other positions weren't held as long, or were only done half-heartedly. I knew that she was going to miss the loop because because she looked scared and started to tone back on some of the choreography heading into it. Definitely not as commanding choreographically as she can skate.

 

[FlossieH]

Why only a double loop Maddie? A 3Lo with a fall would have got you some points, the double doesn't get you any.

 

[HeadBanger]

One mistake each… all to play for in the free

 

[4everchan]

OMG!! The loop ruined Maddie
I think they will place her 4th

they should but I am not sure they will...

If Minsol wins, this could benefit Maddie
It will come down to the free skate tmrw!
Excellent competition
