Keegan Messing

His SP was fantastically clean! I'm so happy for him. Heard him exclaim when greeting his coach as he stepped off the rink..."about time"..... lol he really "isn't Messing around....." Good luck to him in the free!

I adored Keegan’s SP – 93 points (PB) of wonderfully entertaining, engaging skating. He is a wizard at bringing lightness and levity and FUN to a performance. Even though the FS wasn’t as perfect, Keegan never let up in his Chaplin performance factor. Both his programs have been in the top echelon of my highlights this past year. I was thrilled to see he was invited to the gala! A top 10 finish in his first Worlds is a remarkable achievement. :2thumbs:

If Keegan is going for the 4A, I wish him the best of luck (stay healthy!)…but I’ll hope not at the expense of the other 99% of his program and it’s composition. Keegan did very well with Lance Vipond’s choreography so I’m excited to see what themes and interpretation he uses for next year’s programs.

From the Quad Axel thread:

I am SHAKING

I think a look at Keegan's 4A (even in a harness) is worth reposting this link in his FF. :eeking:

I'm excited at the possibility, and that he'll stay healthy while practicing them.

The YouTube link Colonel Green posted is a screen recording, so I've cut Keegan's SP from the Skate Ontario archived livestream for those of you who prefer to watch a slightly clearer, non-"shaky" video: https://vimeo.com/285673799

97.97!

Great job Keegan!

Fab skate, Keegan - just hold your pose at the end for another couple of seconds (and don't fiddle with your tie!) to round off the performance. Love the footwork.

A Beverley Smith piece on Keegan.

He talks about developing his quad Lutz, as well as indicating that he plans to do two seasons and then assess whether he wants to make a push for the Beijing games.

He is repeating his Chaplin FS, reconfigured for the new rules.

I don't think anyone could have predicted today's results... I think we all expected an honourable bronze for Keegan, but now... simply marvelous skate!

At the Nebelhorn Trophy I had quite a nice conversation with Keegan (if I may say so myself)

Congrats to Keegan. He was amazing out there and I've been impressed with his skating now that I've seen it live!
