But he is competing in a different division in JGP than nationals? i don't understand how 1 could relate to the other?

Gogolev also has an automatic bye to Nationals because he was 2nd in Senior Men at this year's Nationals. He doesn't have to show up at anything before then if he doesn't want to.

12.5. Automatic Byes to the Canadian Figure Skating Championships for Senior Competitors
Automatic Byes are granted through their respective Sectionals and/or Skate Canada Challenge to Senior competitors placing first, second or third in the previous year's Canadian Figure Skating Championships in the same event discipline and/or to Senior competitors who place first, second or third at any of the previous three ISU World Figure Skating Championships and/or the immediately prior Olympic Winter Games in each case in the same event discipline

It's not a requirement to skate the summer series, and even if it was, Skate Canada can and will waive that as they see fit. Gogolev is their future star; he can do whatever he wants and they'll go along with it.

Not for Stephen but for any Skate Ontario athlete who doesn’t have a bye, they must compete in a Section Series event to qualify for Sectionals.

So Minto, North York, Paris or Barrie

 

[Vase]

Stephen is not in the entries to Minto Skate which he always goes to.Anybody know why?
Also Nick Nadeau's club is listed as non-Skate Canada Club. It shows Boisbriand in his new bio?

He’s maybe planning North York in August.

Our first look at Gogo under Raf's training.

 

[allegro]

Gogo SP and Lp from Glacier are on youtube. He fell on his first jump in the FS. It looked like a Lz. I wonder if he tried the 4Lz or he just fell on a triple which is almost weird for him

He wasn't doing quads or triple Axels at the event.

My guess is he's working his way back from a training injury (or maybe a growth spurt, though I didn't think he looked all that much taller).

I posted links (and his scores) in his fan thread: https://www.fsuniverse.net/forum/th...gogolev-fan-thread.104300/page-4#post-5608931

ETA that Skate Canada posted their JGP Courchevel assignments on their website last week and the listed men are Iliya Kovler and Aleksa Rakic (Kovler is scheduled to compete at Minto this coming weekend).

It looks to me that he may be taller and a little bit broader. On his blog it is said he went there mainly to get the choreography out there and I guess to get feedback on it.

 

[greenapple]

He wasn't doing quads or triple Axels at the event.

Both Axels at Glacier Falls were supposed to be triples, according to Gogolev. He is not injured. His programs are very new and he is still getting comfortable with them.

Stephen is definitely looking a bit taller with long legs even more pronounced. It does seem as if he's trying to put these programs out there for a trial run at this point.

 

[Colonel Green]

The full initial assignments for JGP France are out. It looks like Iliya will have a decent chance of a medal there; the most notable other guys are his fellow 2018 JGP Armenia podium finishers, Adam (I'd say he's the favourite for gold) and Yuma.

 

[shutterbug]

With thanks to @Sylvia, Roman Sadovsky made his season debut at Skate Detroit:

Sigh. Same music as last season, similar result.

 

[Colonel Green]

As I had figured would be the case, Gogolev's first JGP assignment is Lake Placid (also there, Beres Clements).

 

[watchthis!!]

Our first look at Gogo under Raf's training.

Who is "Raf"?

 

[Sylvia]

Who is "Raf"?

Rafael Arutyunyan, Gogolev's new coach (Lee Barkell is still listed in his National Team profile): https://skatecanada.ca/stephen-gogolev/

Roman Sadovsky finished 4th at Skate Detroit (my notes from the Skate Detroit thread in Kiss & Cry):

Roman Sadovsky 196.67 3 4 (131.21 FS) - skated to last year's Schindler's List/Bells of Moscow music
...
Sadovsky: 4S step out, 3F, 3A good! 1Lo / 4S hand down/fell out to ? jump, 3A+2T, 3Lz too low/fall, ended with 2 quality spins. Encouraging to see him land two 3A solidly in the same program.

Senior Men's FS protocol: https://dscclub.com/wp/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/2019SkateDetroitSeniorMenFS.pdf

 

[danafan]

Thanks for posting the protocol from Detroit @Sylvia
I will take it as a huge positive that Sadovsky landed two triple axels with +GOE! And he wasn't attempting the lutz and flip last year so nice to see him doing those. Let's hope he keeps hitting those axels when the international season starts!

Happy to see Eric finally getting that 3A in his short with bonus points!

 

[Rock2]

I wonder how the senior men will fare this year with only one spot for world's (that still hurts a lot) and a lot of remaining competition for even 4CC. Motivation might be a challenge for some.

No surprise to see some skaters not invest in new choreo as they will have limited opportunity to showcase it.

Iliya already competes senior domestically. He was ninth last year.

 

[Colonel Green]

Congratulations to Keegan on his wedding.

 

[Colonel Green]

Joseph and Eric and scheduled for JGP Latvia. I was worried with Joseph's injury that he might not get to compete the JGP, or else might be a latecomer like Danielian was last year; I guess we'll see at Championnats how he's doing. That's going to be a very tough field for him, though.

Just looked at the Quebec SENIOR MEN start order and Joseph Phan isn't on it. He's listed for the JUNIOR MEN now.

makes sense...He is prob.behind due to injury so is only working on Junior program to be ready for JGP. Senior program could follow.
