David saw the floppage (affectionately, don't attack me) of most of the others so far and decided that he had to seize the moment. Good boy - With two great 3As

 

[RatedPG]

Finally! A boy that wants it!!
That was terrific!!
Excellent 3A’s by David Bodnar

Edit: he met our benchmark. I hope David gets two JGP events

 

[FlossieH]

Nice skate from David Bondar. Needs more refinement and expression, but that will come.

 

[FlossieH]

Oh my!! Our boys seem to get worse as they get older

Grayson’s start was horrific. I appreciate the effort in the second half.

Grayson got taller, and doesn't seem to have been the same since. That seems to be a bit of a pattern for Canadian men.

 

[saine]

I think that's his highest free skate score to date!

 

[FlossieH]

Great score for David Bondar. That should be his JGP secured.

 

[FlossieH]

Not the skate John Kim wanted. Was that a fall in the middle of the choreo sequence slide, or was it a deliberate splat?

 

[RatedPG]

Well, John went for a 4S I believe as his opening element. This is a case of guy taking on more than he can handle.

Now, after David B’s Skate, my dream podium of Anthony, David H, Edward will probably not happen. Good luck to these three boys

Not the pops So many points left on the table, really unfortunate.

 

[saine]

Not the skate Edward would have wanted, but this is his first full competition since 2023 Nationals and first since Junior Worlds 2023. Hopefully he can bolster his chances for a JGP at CQE.

 

[RatedPG]

I didn’t realize Edward is in the same camp as Anthony. Hoping Edward can slide ahead of Grayson

 

[saine]

Not David Howes' day either

 

[FlossieH]

The pressure is getting to the lads. I hope that Anthony breaks the trend and we finish on a good skate.

 

[RatedPG]

OMG!!
The boys all trying their best not to qualify for JGP. What deduction will David H get for spending half of the Skate on the floor

Edit: he looks good though in his outfit

CCoSp

Score: 88.12
Total: 150.14

Oof, seems like the belly-flop at the start really shook him up and knocked the wind out of him That was painful to watch, and probably even more painful to skate. Hope he's okay

 

[RatedPG]

The pressure is getting to the lads. I hope that Anthony breaks the trend and we finish on a good skate.

Anthony can skip all his jumping elements and place in 2nd on PCS alone

 

[FlossieH]

Ouch. He's really plummeted down the standings.

Pops are the theme of the day - On the other hand: 3Lz+3T, so you win some and you lose some.
