2025 Skate Canada Womens SP PBP - Night of the Cheating Edge

[Spikefan]

Kwan vibes from Aoki. Loved that, commanding. (Damn jumps)

 

[SidelineSkater]

Boo. Hiss. Curse. For that low score.

 

[PRlady]

Gorgeous! She expressed every note of the music.

This tango-hater loved that.

 

[floridaice]

Go Sara-Maude!!

 

[LilJen]

Okay, can someone explain the rag doll choreo that starts the program? And then disappears?

 

[tony]

Loena could never!

Seriously very impressed with Dupuis the last few years. Hope we see a 3A attempt in the free skate.

 

[genevieve]

what is this costume just no

I cannot believe that Ray of Light is totally an oldie now

Fun boppy ponytail program

 

[beckab81]

Sarah-Maude is making me smile with this program. Her programs the last few years have been really serious/dramatic, loving this fun side.

 

[Rukia]

I kind of love this program

 

[Belsornia]

Sarah-Maude has the best 90s RD!

 

[Karen-W]

Sara-Maude - her costume looks like she's taking us to the disco. Well, no, not quite with Madonna instead. That 2A does not look like it has enough elevation, rotational speed or distance to get another revolution in... All of her jumps look a little suspicious to my eye, to be honest. How hard will the tech panel go on her to ensure that Maddie remains Canadian #1?

 

[peibeck]

Dupuis giving Ashley Wagner pony vibes. Oof that layback traveled to a different province.

 

[kwanfan1818]

I love Dupuis. She just makes me happy.

 

[MacMadame]

I’ve got the same setup!

Not here. No baseball will interfere with my skating.

In the meantime, Sara-Maude is cute and this program is fun. I don't get the opening either though.

3T+3T
2A
Layback Spin 3
3Lz

Step Sequence 3
Change Foot Combo Spin 4

Sassy performance, but the skating felt a bit sticky in places not getting the flow in some of her elements.

60.41 = 2nd Place

 

[her grace]

Dupuis

Attitude to start, 3t-3t, weak finish to layback spin, 3z low but done, could finish her movement more

 

[Desperado]

Yeah, Sara-Maude!!

 

[Kateri]

That is hard music to keep up with, but she really brought the energy!

 

[Jay42]

I liked this a lot more from Sara-Maude than last years SP. This was very fun

 

[Spikefan]

That was fun!

Fun boppy ponytail program

I kind of like it, but she needs a different cut on the bottoms. And a solid color on the stoning

 

[PRlady]

I liked Dupuis for being so into her music but after Aoki, her stroking and edges are very basic.

 

[Aaron MB Fan]

Sara-Maude keeps improving. I honestly would never have expected this a few years ago from her. Loved this program for her. Nice skate at home! Hoping she gets the 3A tomorrow in the long!

 

[BittyBug]

What in God's creation was that choreography?

 

[deegee]

dupuis looks like eleven from stranger things

 

[Citlali]

That how you do a 90s dance party

 

[MacMadame]

dupuis looks like eleven from stranger things

She kind of does!

 

[genevieve]

that dress is a crime but I loved the program.

 

[tony]

What in God's creation was that choreography?

Probably the same kind of dancing I was doing in the 90s

 

[Karen-W]

Chris telling us the tech panel didn't review any of Sara-Maude's jumps. So, it's going to be THAT kind of a night. FSTW is gonna RAGE over Aoki's jumps getting called - and probably Mone's too later on, lol.
