2025 Canadian Spring/Summer/Fall Competitions

Minsol Kwon's (very well skated!) FS has appeared on YouTube:

Is anyone familiar with her story? AFAIK, it's not clear if she's just training in Canada or plans to switch countries (?).

Is @skatekor an official account?

Is @skatekor an official account?

Not official, but one of the better ones as far as keeping the English-speaking FS fandom abreast of Korean skating news.

 

[kwanfan1818]

i was wondering because it would be unusual for an official channel to publicize a skate if the skater were switching out of their Federation.

Well, honestly, we have no idea what Minsol's status is. She hasn't competed in any Korean comps in over a year, but she's only competed in Ontario Sectional comps and you'd think she'd have her release by now if she was switching countries & that she'd have been at NextGen last weekend.

Not official - fan run

I'm sorry for always complaining about this, but I can't make heads or tails of that (even using a magnifying glass for the tiny print). I wish they had an easier to read format.

I'm sorry for always complaining about this, but I can't make heads or tails of that (even using a magnifying glass for the tiny print). I wish they had an easier to read format.

I printed it (on 2 pages, landscape, as it's presented) and have no trouble reading it. The first page is Thursday & Friday and the second is Saturday and Sunday. There are 3 rinks involved - #4, 3 & 1 - and they appear from left to right across each page.

By the way, since it's a .pdf - you can enlarge it on screen for easier viewing.

Fournier & Zhu: "I like to move it." Ah, a reminder that we really haven't come any further with popular dance music lyrics than where we were in the 50s. (They are coming along as a team. I don't think I've seen them since she was at the scary twizzle stage).

64.48

 

[Wyliefan]

Shoot, I missed Les Gacs. How were they?

 

[beckab81]

Shoot, I missed Les Gacs. How were they?

They scored 76 and change, looked pretty good to my non-technical eye.

 

[beckab81]

Palemoque & White earned points with me for actually doing part of the Macarena while it was playing. The choreo for the program was really fun, but pretty sloppy.

 

[Dobre]

Lauriault & Le Gac: Thought I watched all the clips from Lake Placid last week that were posted, but I guess I didn't watch this one? They look relaxed.

76.74

Palomeque & White: My first Macarena of the season. (Sure it won't be the last). Developing team.

39.07

 

[Wyliefan]

"Scatman" for Gauthier/Thieren. They look pretty good for the early season.

 

[Dobre]

Gauthier & Thieren: Ah, there's some music with potential. Cute. It could go a long way with some flirtatious touches added to the choreo and fluidity in the upper body movement. (Like some arm rolls or body rolls or something).

 

[Wyliefan]

Man, the microphone pops a lot.

As per usual, Holly is all sparkly and Jason is all in black.

 

[Wyliefan]

Nice speed and flow from H/C. 70.27, into 2nd.

Now it sounds like someone is hiccuping into the mic.

 

[Dobre]

Harris & Chan. Twizzles were nice. They attacked that pretty well for a debut, I thought. Ready early for that qualifier.

70.27

 

[Wyliefan]

Shazam is absolutely worthless these days. Can't seem to get anything. But Google says R/A's song is "Would You" by Touch and Go. Then they go into "Too Sexy for My Shirt."

R/A looking good too. Lots of energy.

 

[beckab81]

Lift for R&A looked a little sticky and didn't get great GOE - tech below L/L-G when the tracker went off the screen.

Great choreo seq though, absolutely pandering to the audience w/ I'm Too Sexy, and I enjoyed it!

 

[Wyliefan]

76.23, into 2nd, just a hair out of first.

 

[Dobre]

Reed & Ambrulevicius: Well, their body movement is a lot more sexy than the younguns, and I love that this is them now after those drab free dances they did for their first two seasons together.

76.23

 

[Wyliefan]

Nguyen/Giang have "Bills Bills Bills" by Destiny's Child and "100 Percent Pure Love" by Crystal Waters. They don't look quite as ready for the season as the other teams.

61.22, into 6th.

 

[Dobre]

Nguyen & Giang: Oh! I don't know why, I thought we had lost them. Anyway big step up and this is a cute enough vehicle for it.

My stream cuts out before we get the score.

 

[beckab81]

Judge 3 had some curious scores for Reed/Ambrulevicius and Fornier/Zhu, WAY out of line with the other judges. They were inline for all the other teams.

Are these videos supposed to be archived? I can't find any playlists now.
