[Spazactaz]

Every time I see new replies in this thread I am just hoping it's a youtube video of him at Challenge...

Thank you for uploading and sharing!

I'm glad he had this competition to make his comeback debut. Decent showing. I'll bet he's twice as good by Nationals.

Who is guiding him as far as COP is concerned? Such elegance and what beautiful posture. Unique, but reminiscent of John Curry.

So he made it to Canadian Nationals? Is it top 5 go to Nationals?

Yes, Sandhu has qualified for Canadians (the top 13 Senior men at Challenge advanced this year).

Oh dear ... I am getting mushy feelings all over again for Eman. His jumps might not have been all there and his footwork still needs some "work" but his lines! his lines! his lines! I love his lines as much as I love the skating skills of Chan. Ohhhhh man, I think I am really going to enjoy Canadians.

Oh, Canadian Nationals is the place to be for National competitions this year. All kinds of drama, competition and delicious num nums in each event. Will be very worthy

Are you attending Canadian Nats?

While I was watching this I was thinking the same thing. If he can hook up with someone who can help him make his programs more COP-friendly - as in adding a lot more detailed transitions - he could have a really good chance of placing well.

I would actually love to see him approach Jeff to help him with his choreography. IIRC, their rivalry was a friendly one, and Eman has to know how successful Jeff has become as a choreographer (and how suited he was to COP), and I think it could work out really amazingly.

Thanks so much! He is a joy to watch.

I've fallen in love all over again.

I wouldn't get too excited over this comeback. He's not talking like he's gunning for an Olympic berth. He's not attempting 3A's and quads. There's a scenario where he skates at Nats, finishes 8th and retires again.
He has the desire to compete again and enjoy the process. I don't think he has the desire to place. Because of that, I don't see him spending money on choreo and coaching. His time between now and mid-Jan is probably all about just training and building his confidence.

Yes, professordeb, I have my all event tickets with a family member...but I'm pooping myself because I haven't booked the time off yet and a business trip has come up that week to Vancouver, Wed-Fri. I'm kinda freaking and will need to manage that somehow.

[jjane45]

And nothing wrong with just enjoying the process

That's like our workplace. If we want to take extended leave, we need to notify them a few months in advance.

Sorry to hear you will be "stuck" in Vancouver for those days. I'll enjoy Friday on your behalf, OK?
