so nice to see her smile after yesterday.

Pretty solid skate for Aleksa, and she seems happy enough with it.

I like Gabrielle's soft landings when shes clean on her jumps. The music kinda made me want to go back to sleep though. But good job to her, that was a nice skate.

Gabrielle looks stunning in that gold dress and her tan.

 

[4everchan]

at 5'8 (172 cms) Gabrielle is wonderful to watch, with big jumps that are gorgeous. I hope she gets a bit faster and refined but I am growing to like her a lot.

is there a benchmark score for our kids to get JGP or junior Bs ?

They start on page 4 here - https://skatecanada.ca/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/2026-Selection-to-JGP-and-Jr-Int-Comp-EN-1.pdf

Women is 160 (2 years or less eligibility) or 145 (3 or more eligibility)

Fortune favors the brave today with these jumps. Good development overall.

Chantelle-Elizabeth has skated to Twilight and Romeo & Juliet. She is one for the tragic romances. Her jumping shows her to be the the gutsy heroine of her life. New PB for her.

Last season it was 155. Quinn got an international event due to surpassing that domestic benchmark. I remember really wanting her to get international exposure and she did

Chantalle had better jumps in the 2nd half which is great to see. I also will always like a romeo and juliet costume.

Ksenia K kind of reminds me a bit of Elena Sokolova - charismatic, strong but inconsistent jumps

 

[crystalspin]

I hate to see upset skaters in the K&C...

 

[RatedPG]

Poor Ksenia
I think the loop fall shattered her confidence

 

[4everchan]

Make it rain... appropriate for the forest fires....

 

[RatedPG]

Ok. Time for our big three
I wonder if any of our girls will go for 3A or if they will play it safe?

 

[crystalspin]

That was a rough skate for Calissa.

 

[crystalspin]

Music fits Reese so well, I can't remember if she had Adele last year as well. Even though she faltered in the free skate, I do think she should still get a jgp spot. She's such a strong skater and with more experience she would be even better.

 

[4everchan]

Reese recovered... but costly mistakes here

I was thinking only Reese may attempt it... she didn't.. so I doubt the other two would. More to lose than to gain.
