William St-Louis, who just skated in Junior Pairs, was 2nd (60.91), landing 3T+3T, 3Lo & 2A.

I missed the seeing the first 2 junior pairs of the 2nd group & only saw:

I saw them. They were first up this morning. Didn't note a score or anything.

Very shaky skate as one lift didn't go up but then they are new and its just August.

Yes, Carignan/Pierro skated first; after the 2nd couple skated their scores were shown and had them in first so Carignan/Pierro obviously ended up the bottom.

Senior pairs now underway with Ruest/Wolfe.

 

[Colonel Green]

So...is this the best competition Ruest and Wolfe have ever had? Only one mistake across two programs.

 

[Catherine M]

Usually Ruest & Wolfe are a trainwreck during the summer so nice to see them skate well this morning.

 

[Catherine M]

will be interesting to see if Gamez & Paradis can get 4CC min scores to add another pair team to the roster!

Me during that lift that was right after the stumble/fall:

 

[victorskid]

Results after 1st group of senior pairs:
Ruest/Wolfe - total score 170.79
Gamez/Paradis - 122.98

 

[Catherine M]

I love Wang & Boudreau-Audet so I'm claiming to be their first international fan

Lifts still shaky but that's to be expected in new pairing in August.

 

[shutterbug]

Good job Nadine & Frank!

 

[Colonel Green]

The general skating quality here is alarmingly high for a summer pairs competition.

EDIT: Matte/Ferland, okay, that's more in keeping with what you'd expect from a summer pairs competition.

 

[Catherine M]

Matte & Ferland have a nice look. Too bad the sbs jumps took the day off.

Hopefully they and Wang & Boudreau-Audet will be sent out on the Challenger circuit this fall.

 

[Catherine M]

Based on what we saw here and at Minto, I'd give the 3rd Skate Canada spot to Brasseur & Bardei

 

[Colonel Green]

The entry to Brasseur/Bardei's final lift is crazy.

Their twist (obviously) and lifts are on a different level from all the other teams here. Still working on the throws. I don't think they're the "soft instrumental music" team, though; their programs should be all about emphasizing the power and athleticism.

EDIT: Second place, deservedly. They would have beaten Ruest and Wolfe but for Justine's pop on the second SBS.

 

[victorskid]

Unofficial results after the senior pairs (based on total scores):

1. Ruest/Wolfe - 170.79 [Free skate: 56.56; 57.12; 112.68]
2. Brasseur/Bardei - 167.71 [54.73; 56.24; 108.97]
3. Matte/Ferland - 156.05 [48.67; 50.80; 97.47]
4. Wang/Boudreau-Audet - 146.93 [49.62; 46.16; 95.78]
5. Gamez/Paradis - 122.98 [37.16; 42.56; 76.72]

I'm trying to watch these early groups of sr ladies free but its just a bit hard with the lack of jumping skills.

 

[Wyliefan]

I won't be home in time for Hannah. Someone please provide good PBP! Thanks!

 

[danafan]

Wow I put the ladies free stream on and saw Maltais in the kiss-n-cry and she got over 99 points in the free and a 53 TES!

 

[victorskid]

For those interested, Rink 3 is running behind schedule (quel surprise!) - the second-to-last novice woman just skated and it is already 1/2 an hour after the junior free dance was due to begin

Edited to add that the junior free dance warm-up (on Rink 3) for the first group began exactly one hour late!

[Colonel Green]

The second flight is about to take the ice, so Emmy and Aissa should be skating in the next 15 minutes.

 

[JoannaLouise]

Unfortunately Mallet had a rough lp, jumps-wise: 2f, 2a, 3lo fall, 2s, 3t fall, 2lo, 2a.
Score 88.72

 

[danafan]

Wow Mallet is really struggling. She did a lot of doubles but went down on the two triples she tried. Did two huge double axels though. 88.72

 

[JoannaLouise]

Bronsard/Bouaraguia are up next on Rink 3, so it looks like their FD will roughly coincide with the ladies' next warm-up!

 

[victorskid]

Rink 4 - Final group is on warm-up. Hannah skates first in this group.

Rink 3 - Emmy & Aissa taking the ice...

 

[Colonel Green]

Compared to the RD, which already feels pretty much fully formed, I think Emmy and Aissa's free will benefit from some fine-tuning, but they're obviously the class of the field here.

 

[danafan]

Wow Dawson looks stunning out there. Good start with a triple (f)lutz, 2axel 3toe and 3 loop before doing a waxel. Almost down on the flip, and squeaks out the salchow. Nice 3toe 2toe. I think she has great presence out there!

@Wyliefan I think you'd be pleased!

 

[danafan]

102.13. Only 47.25 tech for Dawson. Still first overall.

 

[JoannaLouise]

Oh dear, all kinds of music trouble for Pineault - first they played the wrong music, and now there's no music at all....

Ah, here we go.

2lz, 2a2t, 3lo2t, 3t fall, 3lo, 3s turnout, 2a2t turnout

I have to admit I'm a little disappointed that Pineault is reusing both programs from last season (and the SP is actually for a 3rd season in a row). But as long as we get to see some clean-ish performances, then I promise I'll be happy anyways.

 

[danafan]

Pineault really struggled too. A few pops. Triple loop double toe might have been her only clean triple. From replay she landed her second triple loop too.

 

[danafan]

104.12 for that? LOL wow higher tech than Dawson. Maybe it wasn't at bad as I thought watching it LOL.
