Anthony posted about his Nats experience, along with photos. I love the photo (six) where he is painting Coach Yvan's nails to match his. (and I did love that scene in the KnC after his free where everyone showed their nails, coaches and Anthony)

He does say that he will check his laces twice at Junior Worlds

Ahhhh - finally a Canadian Men's Figure Skater I can wholeheartedly root for. Anthony is very refreshing and I loved his programs.

As we wait for Junior Worlds, love this fan art of Anthony from a Japanese fan:

And Anthony makes the free. Vas-y, Antho!

Never mind the mistakes...Anthony is Anthony. Such performances. He is so into it. I am in love with that guy (platonically). He is just so good!

Congratulations Anthony on finishing junior worlds in grand style, with a captivating free. .

The judges had him first in Choreo and second in spins (we won't talk about PCS, he needs some time to increase his reputation points )

Here's hoping for those two spots in the JGP next year.

Anthony says that his disappointing result at JGP Osaka made him realize he "many things" about his work ethic and his training. "In Japan, I was half the skater that I am now". He worked not only on skating, but on nutrition and sleep.

"I have changed so much in one year! I am more authentic on the ice and people like that. Before, I was playing characters and working in order to hide myself behind a shell".

(Translations and paraphrases are mine.)

What a joy for us that he is his authentic self.

Love it!

Anthony truly has the best chair-ography I've seen, and I've seen a fair amount of chair-ography.

He is training new competitive programs, but I hope he keeps the gala

That's what I meant as one of my questions in the thread about adaptive skating equipment -- working a chair as part of the program. I was asking if any old chair could be used and wondered if it had to have a particular style of legs to ensure it didn't suddenly shoot away from the skater when leaned on. That one seems to have both U leg at the back and II legs at the front, but maybe it doesn't matte. Perhaps control is up to the skater and how much weight they put on it from arm's length or up close. I was asking on behalf of a skater at my club, but I'd love to try it myself!
