Isn't Mitrofanov ineligible since he's married?

Correct, this is just a domestic qualifying event for Canadian junior and senior skaters trying to qualify for nationals. Despite the confusingly similar name, this is not an ISU Challenger event.

This is my new favourite program. Don't even need to see it first 🤩

2004 (Burnaby) to 2016 (Oakville) - I was one of the three, along with Pat and another friend of ours. Thanks for the thread! Pat was a true icon of adult skating and was still skating at 88, just a couple of weeks before she passed. We will miss her so much.

116 is fine - nothing covered.

We have been waiting many MANY years for team jackets, so we were excited to FINALLY have them!

No, if the skater can differentiate between the two jumps correctly, they are fine and could still get credit for two flips and two lutzes. This would only penalize skaters who don't distinguish and always do either inside or outside edge take-offs.

I agree - he has improved with Ravi and he has been skating well. I thought he did well to still land a quad and 3A, given the unfortunate luck with his boots and blade. That had to throw him off a bit, especially being his first Worlds and not having the experience of some of the more seasoned...
