Some really good '80s' choices for the RD. The one I was expecting but haven't seen yet (although haven't been completely through this thread) is All Night Long by Lionel Richie Maybe too obvious so no one touched it...yet? Or has someone picked it up?

Do we know if Deanna is feeling better? She seemed to be in better health in the short at 4CC, but quick search, and I can't immediately find anything.

:::::: checks Cranberry LP scores ::::::: More like 'Skate Canada Challenge' is your best best. Le sigh.

I have to say I'm a little disappointed with what I saw from Schizas in the short. This isn't about scoring at this point in the season. What I'm looking for in August is a sign of where the step forward in points might be coming from based on the work over the summer. Not seeing any...

Ok well so much for that. Had high hopes. We back to Luba then? LOL

Hadn't heard of her. Her singles long program is only recently choreographed and posted by On-Ice perspectives. Unsure how tall she is but if she has made the sudden decision to switch to pairs this seems promising just based on her look and how she presents herself. ETA: just did a little...

I'm hearing he's training still with Purkiss but who knows if that remains permanent or if this is who is working with him on tryouts or what. What it does seem like is people are coming to him and not vice versa. Random other point that makes me wonder how much Schumacher is in the mix. If I'm...

I agree. A truly supportive environment might make a difference. My money is on Schumacher to be the announcement (I have no inside knowledge on this) but among current crop of known/potential/local candidates, I would genuinely be most excited about Luba. If Trennt has made up his mind that...

Agree. This is where Dave Pelletier was after 98 Nationals. Trennt needs his Jamie Sale, not another Caroline Roy, if you follow. I know that's easier said than done because the partner has to be out there. But if Trennt wants to fulfill his potential to be a world medalist, he might need to...

I would. Mostly -4s. Semantics, I guess. Point is, left a lot of points on the table, so, room to grow in both TES and PCS.

Just watched Max and Deanna's SP at Quebec summer skate. Up until today they have been the team that has disappointed me the most. On paper I thought this was a perfect match but they have looked like oil and water - with barely mediocre packaging. Today, a different story. Great program. All...

Stand by. Separately, now that Zach's skills have advanced in pairs, and Gabby's have regressed in singles.... :unsure:

For real. I heard the Japanese team really did like their short music. But I would be prototyping them after Peng and Jin in terms of packaging. I do think Julie has a lot of tools in her toolbox when you look at some of the lower-ranked teams she works with, but for the higher ranked teams...

I would also like to see Wesley and Stephen move to seniors next year. Much more development to come. I still also believe that Conrad has another level and am happy that he's searching for more solutions with a move in training. Speaking of another level, I'm less enthusiastic about Roman...

Love this. Thanks for putting this together. Can you please do Zhou's LP? Don't want to bash the guy but genuinely curious. On some of the jumps, I question if you paused the video precisely when the skater's blade hit the ice. Hard to discern exactly when that happens but I think you jumped...
