Although I think she looks fine, my boyfriend agrees that she looks too muscular. Im fine with her trying to lose some of it as long as it doesnt affect her skating. That would be a serious mistake. Best of luck to her at Nationals!!

Joannie can wear sleeves that cover her arms if she is self conscious about them.

hmm...............muscular arms.........a lot of women train to get muscular arms because they believe it is attractive.......

In any event, I doubt this will affect her placements..............

My fearless predictions for whatever they're worth, LOL

No Buntin/Duhamel? I would have placed them third over M/M and possibly 2nd giuven Annabelle's tendency to err at nationals and the team placing loer than their skating ability could have placed them

No Andreev in men's? I would have placed him third over Mabee.

I agree with the others!

Hope everyone skates well and Canada sends the best team possible to Worlds!

I think Joannie wants to curb the muscularity because it contributes to the stiffness in her upper body.

Actually, now that you mention it, I can see the logic in it

I think Joannie wants to curb the muscularity because it contributes to the stiffness in her upper body.

But how to do that if she's always using her arms?

Of course, her muscles are not just in her ams, they are also in her legs and back.

.... and her shoulders ...

.... and, to a lesser extent, even her neck ....

And I actually think she has even lost just a little muscularity from when these shots were taken.

Muscles or not, she is gorgeous.

funny my boyfriend mentioned her shoulders too when I told him about this thread. I never noticed them. I think she looks great. I say who cares about the muscles, and just skate great:agree:

I quite agree. I never thought she was TOO muscular, just more so than the other girls. I hope Joannie really shows us what she is capable of. By the way, the Skate Canada site is having problems. When does the Ladies' short begin?

Well, in Anabelle & Cody's first ever appearance together at Canadians, they started off by finishing second in the SP but fell to fourth after the LP. I took the competition inexperience for Meghan and Craig into consideration and figured them to finish fourth. I also took Fedor's being away from competition into mind and didn't really consider him a podium threat this year. It's just my personal guesses for whatever they're worth, LOL
