2026 NextGen - Skate Canada | July 16-19

Reese has a maturity that not many of the others project. She KNOWS she is good and capable of winning and her confidence will not be shaken. Even the mistakes are not throwing her as she will just go home and work on her mistakes. Her eye is on the endgame.

Great skate by Reese!!
She fought which is something she struggled to do before.

She needs to let go of the 3F 3T.
In SP, she needs to stick with 3T 3T till she masters the flip combo. Same with the free skate.

Good score for Reese, that's close to the benchmark for a Senior assignment.

with the step sequence, she would have gotten it ?

Aside from pop, good technically overall. I really hope Brian works on her expression and components. She should take over first and secure her jgp spot.

I would like to see Victoria finish and polish her movements. She needs to make them count and not be thinking ahead to the next element like a checkbox. She is a talented girl - but almost nervous and impatient to get to the end.

yeah...facial expression is lacking with a lot of our kids

That was slow and got slower, needs more stamina work I guess.

I’m not sure she will be first. Reese will be close due to PCS

Sometimes just reminding them that there is an audience and planning a moment or two in the program for them to practice projecting outward can help.

Not just yours - it is worldwide

 

[4everchan]

I am sleepy already.

 

[RatedPG]

Ok. Time for Lia!! Go Lia!!

 

[crystalspin]

Her technical went down a lot, they definitely were checking her jumps.

 

[labgoat]

She looks worried and she should not be. She will get assignments.

 

[labgoat]

Really love how Lia reaches up and out on that axel entry - just beautiful
There is something Kwan-like about Lia's confidence and solidity. I do not say that lightly - she is truly special. It is not accidental that she is skating to Scheherezade.

 

[crystalspin]

Speaking of expression, Lia has it. Really nice skate, and I love her double axel exit. Congratulations on her much deserved win!

 

[saine]

Give Lia her red hat.

 

[4everchan]

Lia is such a boss... 3Flip3Sal2A in the last bits of the program.

 

[crystalspin]

I see they took away her spin, I guess thats what she needs to work on before her assignment.
