2019-20 Canadian ladies news and updates

[Dobre]

It's doable. It's also a nice ladies' field. Cui & Yokoi are also capable of medaling.

I posted over in the pairs thread that Justine Brasseur announced she and Mark Bardei are going to the Warsaw Cup. I noticed later that Emily Bausback commented on the post:

see u there

So it looks like Skate Canada gave her a chance to get her senior minimums.

 

[danafan]

Great news! I had checked Bausback's instagram but she hadn't posted anything yet.

Good for her....at last......I wish they would send Kim Decelles as well.

 

[chantilly]

Sorry I’m confused is Bardei still competing for Canada.

Someone posted up thread he was leaving again.

That was somebody erroneously speculating based on an Instagram post.

I couldn't remember if it was Kim or Emy who previously competed at Warsaw Cup and had to check their ISU bios. It was Emy (6th in 2017): http://www.isuresults.com/bios/isufs00034627.htm

Kim's last international was at the U.S. Classic in SLC (9th in 2016): http://www.isuresults.com/bios/isufs00015006.htm

Right....Kim had very big injury requiring surgery and forever off the ice. Up to that pt. she had slightly better success. She was back on the ice and competing last yr. but was not completely back to content or form. Emy does not seem to be competing but Kim did very well at Georges Ethier. (she has got her triple triple in the short)she scored 62.78

 

[puglover]

Well, Gabby sounds pumped and ready! All the best to her - she is certainly sounding happier and more settled.

 

[Sylvia]

Emy does not seem to be competing

danafan posted the link to Emy Decelles' retirement announcement on her Instagram earlier this summer: https://www.fsuniverse.net/forum/th...s-news-and-updates.105724/page-4#post-5612028

Super thrilled to announce that I will be competing in my first senior international competition in Poland! Thanks @skate_canada for giving me this opportunity! Can’t wait for my senior debut!

 

[danafan]

Wow on Hannah Dawson's instagram she posted "Next stop: Riga Latvia" and Michelle Long replied "See you there" - so I guess they are going to the Volvo Cup in November? Another chance to get those tech minimums!

The Volvo Cup isn't even on Skate Canada's events page, so I guess this must have been a recent decision.

Thank you! I was trying to figure out what was in Riga!

 

[danafan]

@Wyliefan I had to look it up on the ISU site. I checked the challenger thread here first, but it’s not a challenger event!

 

[chewy]

I'm glad Bausback got a senior competition. I enjoyed her skating at Lake Placid, one of my thoughts was that she was skating like a senior lady in a junior competition, confident, no hesitation.

 

[Erin]

It's nice to see Skate Canada realizing the importance of getting skaters out to get the minimums this year.

I wonder if there is any chance Schumacher will be sent to a senior event now that she is age-eligible? Or will she be forced into the "junior events only" box? I supposed that at least SC did show a willingness with Cotop to send athletes to last minute events last year, but it reduces opportunities like 4CC.

 

[danafan]

I'm hoping Schumacher will get a senior international before nationals. She's not as active on social media and I haven't seen anything indicating where she'll be competing next.

I'm very pleased that Skate Canada is giving another chance to Long and Dawson. Considering the status of the four skaters who have both the 4CC and worlds minimums (Daleman coming back from a concussion, Cotop missing her first scheduled international due to injury, and Pineault and Mallet not skating well at their first international), we need more skaters to choose from, especially for 4CC. It would be a shame if someone finished top 3 at nationals and couldn't go.

 

[danafan]

The entries for the Volvo Cup were posted, and in addition to confirming Dawson and Long, I'm happy to see Catherine Carle and Madeline Schizas entered in junior!

 

[coppertop1]

A bit of a rough outing for Gabby at Finlandia but overall, I like her free skate and I look forward to seeing how she progresses. She looked pretty happy after. I hope she has a good season and stays healthy.

 

[danafan]

The Warsaw Cup roster is on the ISU site now and great news - in addition to Bausback, Canada will also have Cotop and Schumacher! I don't remember this many senior international assignments for the Canadian women before.

 

[Colonel Green]

While it's possible the entry is just a hoped-for thing, I'll take it as a positive sign for Aurora that they submitted her for this event.

still looking for one for Kim Decelles

Does Aurora still have the TES for Worlds?

 

[Sylvia]

Does Aurora still have the TES for Worlds?

Yes, her 2019 Bavarian Open TES minimums are still valid for this season: https://www.fsuniverse.net/forum/th...ating-championships-2020.105713/#post-5644328

 

[Erin]

Did Skate Canada get a new sponsor this season? Don’t get me wrong, I’m happy they are sending more skaters out to get minimum scores. I’m just surprised they have the funds as it seems those have always been tight.

They're skimming off the revenue from those exorbitantly-priced Montreal Worlds tickets.

well last r next gen started sending kids and teams out w/good results. The only way one learns to compete is by competing. visiting at the rink only shows you what they are capable of with little to no stress. Maybe the coin dropped at some point since the beginning of season and they are now sending seniors.

I know this is a joke, but honestly, if that’s where my ticket money is going, I’m OK with it. That would actually be the best use of the funds - into developing the skaters and giving them opportunities.

 

[danafan]

Per the ISU entries, Mallet has replaced Cotop at SCI. I hope Cotop will be well enough to compete in Warsaw.

Frankly I wish Long or Decelles had got this opportunity, but at least they didn't leave the spot unfilled.

Entry/Resultlist

Mallet did skate decently at Skate America - she has the flip back (landed one in both programs) and she skated well enough to get the worlds minimums in both programs, so she's set for next season if she continues.

 

[Colonel Green]

Too bad for Aurora, I was hoping that since we hadn't heard anything at this late a date it meant she felt well enough to go, but evidently not. She's had to miss events for two consecutive autumns. But obviously paramount not to rush things.

Mallet had a good showing at Skate America, so hopefully this will also be a good outing.
