2023 Skate Ontario July Sectional Series/NextGen Competitions July 20 - 23 Ottawa, ON

[honey]

Not enough whickety-whack.

Yes, 50% more straps on the back would have gotten her all the way there.

 

[4rkidz]

Much too heavy program for Mely-Ann

 

[Wyliefan]

Yes, 50% more straps on the back would have gotten her all the way there.

And one or two more skirts.

 

[Karen-W]

I like this program for Shiryaeva. She has some interesting choreo moments where she's clearly paying attention to the music, even if it is a tango, lol.

 

[4rkidz]

Yay we have our first JGP candidate! Excellent job by Uliana, now if she could just get a better program and costume and not those tights! Also a little slow but great technical abilities just need some emoting, but she is just young and a junior.

 

[shutterbug]

That was....extremely competent (?) from Uliana. I just wish she'd give me a reason to care about her skating.

Agreed but I am putting it down to her being young still. I did see glimpses of some parts engaging me.

 

[Karen-W]

Oh! I know this music that Lulu Lin is skating to - it's the Enola Holmes soundtrack (which I'd really like to see Levito or Thorngren use).

 

[4rkidz]

Lulu has this special carefree quality to her skating that just makes me smile. I would put this in first and give her a JGP! But that’s likely my emotional response lol

There is definitely something joyful about her skating and expression. I agree - she definitely has earned a JGP!

 

[shutterbug]

Yay Lulu, you go little one. Just needs to keep working on her speed and flow.

 

[4rkidz]

Hetty is a beautiful skater and I love her dress. I don’t think she is JGP ready yet

ETA but maybe later in the season?

 

[shutterbug]

A bit tough today jump wise for Hetty, but just lovely, mature and musical skating. Would not be surprised to see her be given a JGP at some point, has a few more weeks to work out the kinks before the season starts.

 

[Wyliefan]

Holy sleeves, Rose!

 

[4rkidz]

What a beautiful dress do Rose, that is just stunning.

 

[Karen-W]

It's a good thing Rose had a 5 point lead on Lulu and a 7 point lead on Uliana. She should manage to remain in first overall. Kind of meh apart from the really pretty dress.

 

[shutterbug]

Excellent job Rose! Still cautious and obviously thinking through the program, will improve with more mileage.

 

[4rkidz]

Nice job from Rose, should be third in the long but likely first overall.

 

[Wyliefan]

She's a lovely skater. I seem to remember spotting her in juniors a couple of years ago and thinking she was one to watch. ETA: Glad she managed to pull out the win!

 

[4rkidz]

Will be curious now to see who the JGP picks are as last year they really did use the first simulation as an indicator for picks. I can see the top 4 all getting spots.

 

[Karen-W]

It does seem pretty clear that Skate Canada has 4 women to select from to dole out their 6 JGP spots. I'd give them each one and decide the last 2 spots based on their actual JGP results.

Yes I totally agree with that except I might add two different for the last two spots IF the four do not have good outcomes and IF one of the juniors just had a bad skate here and can be added for a later one? But overall agree.

[4rkidz]

How many junior pair JGP spots do we have? Is it two this year per event?

 

[4rkidz]

Annika and Cole had some good technical aspects in their pairs with the throw and individual jumps but the double twist was rough. I am sure lots of growth this year to come.

Nobody in the first group is ready for a JGP let’s hope the next group.

 

[shutterbug]

Killer sbs 3sals from B/S! Twist and lifts still need need much work work, but they're very young.

 

[Sylvia]

The 4 JGPs with pair events are:

#2 Linz / AUT Aug. 30 - Sept. 2, 2023
#3 Istanbul / TUR September 6 - 9, 2023
#5 Budapest / HUN September 20 - 23, 2023
#7 Gdansk / POL September 27 - 30, 2023

 

[Karen-W]

How many junior pair JGP spots do we have? Is it two this year per event?

Yes, Canada has 2 at each of the JGPs.

Didn't pay too close of attention to Behnke/Sauve. Wilberforce/Dore look to still be a work in progress, as expected of a new junior pairs team.

Let’s hope the next group is ready as I’m guessing they might be getting a couple each?
