7 Mylène Brodeur / John Mattatall NS

debut internationally in 2008 4CC and Skate Canada. Have been making their way up steadily since then.

8 Rachel Kirkland / Eric Radford CO

very artistic. Kirkland's inability to land jumps holding them back. they train in Germany with Ingo Steuer.

9 Meagan Duhamel / Craig Buntin QC

the bloody, gory pair from TEB.

10 Jessica Dubé / Bryce Davison QC

struggled quite a bit this year. Will they come back strong from disappointing GP season?

Withdrew

fumie,

Are you doing PBP? I haven't done it before but can give it a try unless you are gonna use your prowess and save me screwing it up?

Canuck

 

[fumie_fumie]

sure.

 

[museksk8r]

Thanks for doing pbp for those of us outside of Canada who are not able to watch live. It is greatly appreciated!

I hope Duhamel/Buntin and Dube/Davison both skate their bests and make this an exciting event!

Christi Anne Steele / Adam Johnson WO

2 Twist - ok
SBS 2A - think she singled, far apart
SBS spins - slow and got out of sync near end
nice star lift
Throw 3L - 2 footed I think
Spiral sequence
nice entry into FI Death Spiral
nicely done pairs spin - a little slow

They should be fairly happy with that performance.

Score:

43.06 (SB)

 

[fumie_fumie]

Christi Anne Steele / Adam Johnson WO

both quite tall, beautiful pair, the guy is gorgeous

triple twist (? I'm not sure)
sbs double axel- girl land on two feet
sbs spin out of sync
difficult entry, star lift, nice ice coverage
music boring, but nice
throw triple loop, double footed
good speed in spiral
death spiral, changing of hands
pair combo spin to conclude

very generic music, easily forgettable

marks: 43.06 SB

 

[fumie_fumie]

Canuck,

you are doing a good job. I can log off now.

 

[victoria90]

Thanks a lot for the pbp! As museksk8r said, it's veeery appreciated by those who can't watch it!

 

[sk8tngcanuck]

Taylor Steele / Christopher Richardson WO

3 Twist - nice height
SBS 3S - both fell and probably downgraded
Nice pairs spin
SBS spin was pretty far apart and lack of unison
Throw 3L - fall (looked rotated)
Nice entry into star left - well done
Spiral Sequence - good flexibility, a little slow
Death spiral nicely done

He is worried that their DS wasn't inside enough

38.80 2nd place

 

[fumie_fumie]

Standing O for Paige Lawrence / Rudi Swiegers SK. Oh boy, Saskatchewan fans.

 

[sk8tngcanuck]

Paige Lawrence / Rudi Swiegers SK

Very nice 3twist
Spiral sequence
SBS 3T - she fell but think it was rotated
Good unison on SBS spin
Slight touch down on throw 3 L but good job
Nice position on star lift
Nice entry into fast FI death spiral
Right into pairs spin - nice positions

They should be happy - surprised there isn't more support for the home town skaters.

49.52 SB - into 1st and rightfully so!

Brooke Paulin / Brian Shales WO

SBS 2A
2 Twist good height
2 footed on throw 3S - not enough height
Good job on star lift
SBS spin decent unison but far apart
Spiral sequence - not much flexibility
right into DS then into pairs spin - good variety of positions and good speed
Finished a little behind music

They seem fairly happy with their performance

Deduction for being over time

46.67 SB into 2nd

 

[sk8tngcanuck]

Monica Pisotta / Michael Stewart CO
last year's junior champions

good speed into 2twist
Nice SBS 2A - best SBS jumps so far
nice entry into star lift
SBS spins are close together, decent positions
Spiral sequence - nice positions
Throw 3S - bit of a wild landing with a touch down
FI Death spiral, a little slow
Pairs spin - nice positions but they seem to have run out of gas at the end

Didn't finish with the speed/flow they started with

48.98 SB - into 2nd

 

[sk8tngcanuck]

Amanda Velenosi / Mark Fernandez QC

Nicely done 2 twist - very high and good speed
Problems with both skaters on SBS 3T - he fell, she stepped out, and probably UR
Nicely done SBS spin - good speed and fairly close together
Spiral sequence
Nice height on throw 3 Sal
Nice pair spin
Keeping up good energy and speed
Nice star lift - he looks strong!
Nicely done DS

47.08 into 3rd

 

[sk8tngcanuck]

Mylène Brodeur / John Mattatall NS

These two look so oddly matched to me!

SBS 3T - hand down by her but both looked fully rotated
2Twist - good height
Throw 3L - well done
Right into SBS spins - great unison, speed
Pairs spin - lots of change of direction/position
Spiral sequence - well done
Nice entry into star lift, nice variations, good speed
FI DS

Good speed/flow throughout
They should go into 1st

55.63 SB - into 1st by a mile
