I am glad to see that Amodio has planned a senior program - I guess he has a chance to go to Europeans, and the FFSG would probably be more than happy to give him a chance, because Préaubert and Ponsero haven't shown much improvement in the last years. Amodio has already beaten at least one of them in the Free at French Nationals last year as far as I remember. What he needs to do now is check his short program and get the levels up there, the free had good levels but the short...
And Boyadji did a good job too, he also is including the Triple Axel - things are looking bright for the future of the French skating men.
Brezina really looked a bit stiff - I wouldn't read too much into it, it's so early in the season, perhaps it gets better.
And can someone please give Eliot Halverson a Triple Axel? I enjoy watching him skate. What is it with the American Juniors and their Triple Axel, this Armin guy doesn't have one either.

Halverson landed a 3A in the Chemnitz JGP last year; the jump isn't included in his programs right now. Mahbanoozadeh has worked on the 3A in practice but is focusing on triple-triples and improving other aspects of his skating. There are other U.S. JGP guys who've landed 3A in competition -- Curran Oi who's scheduled for Merano next week, Richard Dornbush (Mexico City) and Keegan Messing (Ostrava).

The protocols are up as well. The Czechs got a deduction, so they may have fallen again 
But they do medal! Congratulations to Alex & Maia, Kharis & Asher, and Lucie and Matej. And also to Terra and Benoit, whose 4th place finish was very, very good for a brand new team, especially when you consider they won the CD & were 3rd in the FD

Did I read the site correctly in that they will be showing Dance FS on Wednesday?
Looking at the Ice Dance protocols, I can't help wondering what the Canadian judge was thinking the morning of the CD. Here's how she (Susan Blatz) ranked the skaters by PCS scores:
1 GUIGNARD / PAULMIER
2 BILET / HAMON
3 RALPH / HILL
4 FINDLAY / RICHAUD
4 KLIMOVA/PALOMAKI
6 SHIBUTANI / SHIBUTANI
6 BATURINTSEVA/VOLOBUIEV
8 TCHETINKINA/SMIRNOV
9 MYSLIVECKOVA / NOVAK
10 VERMEULEN/DOLEMAN
11 VYKHODTSEVA / SHUMSKI
12 WOLF/AINSWORTH
1 GUIGNARD / PAULMIER
2 BILET / HAMON
3 RALPH / HILL
4 FINDLAY / RICHAUD
4 KLIMOVA/PALOMAKI
6 SHIBUTANI / SHIBUTANI
6 BATURINTSEVA/VOLOBUIEV
8 TCHETINKINA/SMIRNOV
9 MYSLIVECKOVA / NOVAK
10 VERMEULEN/DOLEMAN
11 VYKHODTSEVA / SHUMSKI
12 WOLF/AINSWORTH

Sounds like she picked their placing randomly out of a lottery bag.
Protocols show some impressive marks across the board for the Shibutani's and big improvement from Ralph/Hill.
For elements, Shibutanis were the only team with no negative GOEs in both the OD and FD. They had 20 marks of +2 with the next highest being the Czechs Mysliveckova/Novak with 5, then Kharis/Asher, Findlay/Richaud and Baturintseva/Volobuiev who each earned two. Twizzles must have been very strong to earn seven marks of +2. Four judges had all five components at 6.0 or better. In the OD they got a +3 (!) for one of their lifts. Has that happened before in a JGP?
Ralph/Hill had significant improvement in scores compared with Lake Placid. Performances must have been very strong with only the FD twizzles seeming to cause a problem. Strong lift GOEs in particular as their final element.

When I watched them last season, I was wondering what it was that I liked, the actual dance, or that they were so cute. I think now it will be the dance.
I believe they may show up at MidAtlantics for an exhibition but not sure. They are listed as Skating Club of New York.
