Just wondering ...we still do not know who will be competing at Broadmoor Open?

Just wondering ...we still do not know who will be competing at Broadmoor Open?

The club doesn't publish the entries online so we usually have to wait for the program book to become available at the rink and nice people to take the time to share/type out names. I'm trying to compile an unofficial roster -- Tim Dolensky and Tim Koleto are supposed to be debuting Senior short programs, as are Haven Denney/Brandon Frazier. Melissa Bulanhagui tweeted a while back that she had signed up - this would be her first competition officially representing Philippines since PHI Nationals last November.

ETA: For those willing to pay, there will be a live and on-demand Broadmoor Open webcast again this year, and the same company is offering a Skate Detroit live/on-demand webcast for the first time! http://www.wheatdesigns.com/web_info.html

Thank you so much, Sylvia!

If I may ask you, is Tim Dolensky in Colorado now for summer training? (sorry it is unrelated to club comp).

[Sylvia]

Yes, Tim Dolensky is in Colorado Springs now (he spent some time there last year before Broadmoor Open as well).

ETA link to a May 2012 Dolensky article in which he talks about his training plans for this summer, including in the Springs: http://www.goldenskate.com/2012/05/d...inue-windfall/

maureenfarone, I'll start a separate Skate Detroit thread when the official entries are posted online.

[YukiNieve]

Thanks! Wish people do really well in Colorado!!

EVC is continuing its wonderful tradition of providing a live, free webcast of the Boston Open competition next week (6/22 - 6/23)

Can anyone tell me how come they don't publish the Broadmoor Open's entry list? I mean, it's not a huge problem, it's just...weird.

[Sylvia]

I don't know why.

Broadmoor Open Senior Men's entries, as passed along to me:
Combined (SP+FS): Paul Parkinson (ITA), Jono Partridge (GBR), Emmanuel Savary (Withdrawn);
SP Only: Max Aaron, Timothy Dolensky, Timothy Koleto, Brandon Mroz, Jono Partridge.

Sr Ladies: Angela Wang, McKinzie Daniels, Hannah Miller, Kate Charbonneau (CAN), Morgan Bell...
Jr Ladies: Barbie Long, Mariah Bell, Polina Edmunds, Avery Kurtz...

Note: There often are withdrawals at these early season competitions.

I'll start a separate Broadmoor Open thread when I receive more entries (hopefully by later today).

*fingers crossed for Josh*

[Sylvia]

Josh Farris isn't competing. I listed all the Senior Men - it's a small field this year.

Thanks for the information, Sylvia. Now I need to include the Senior Ladies event at Chesapeake Open in my plan.

[Jenna]

Wow, I did not know Chrissy Hughes was still competing. Good for her!

Thanks for the information, Sylvia.

[icecat]

Anyone know where I can find entries and info on the Theatre on Ice National championships in Cleveland this weekend?

[Sylvia]

I've edited in some notable ladies' entries for Broadmoor Open in my post #51 above.

Wow, I did not know Chrissy Hughes was still competing. Good for her!

I didn't either! Maybe she'll compete at the U.S. Collegiate Championships in August? Danielle Shepard recently returned to competition - I believe she has graduated from a college in New England and may compete at Collegiates.

I don't know why.

Jr Ladies: Barbie Long, Mariah Bell, Polina Edmunds, Avery Kurtz...

Are these two actually staying junior for another season domestically? Or have they just not tested up yet but plan to in time for Nationals? They are ready to move to the senior level, being 16 and almost 16, having all their triples and doing so well last season, Barbie even medaling at Nationals. I know they are just making their JGP debuts this season but lots of girls skate junior internationally and senior nationally. I'm a bit surprised if they are in fact both staying junior domestically for another season.

And actually even Edmunds, though she's only just 14, I thought would probably make the jump to seniors just as she's already done 2 seasons at the National junior level and done pretty well there both times.
