Could be the reason alluded to regarding why she did not compete at Canadians is still an issue with her receiving the assignment. Hopefully she'll be able to travel and compete again next season.I'm surprised if she was landing triple jumps 6 weeks ago why they aren't sending her to Jr Worlds.

Agree... She did a great job.. It also isn't like we have a barn full of ladies who are competitive internationally...Seriously? Maddie was less than a point out of tenth. Don't be so negative.
That's why we need to develop them.Agree... She did a great job.. It also isn't like we have a barn full of ladies who are competitive internationally...

All 6 Canadian girls are in the top 7 in their respective levels, so not too shabby
That’s one of Evans’ students, I believe.
You're correct. There's a good group of hard working kids at CIA to keep an eye on.That’s one of Evans’ students, I believe.

Jumping hands over head help so much with core control and stability. Look how her lutz landing is bang on. She always seemed to overrotate/land on the heel of her blade on most of her jump even when they are good. She should keep that technique!Gabrielle Daleman 🇨🇦 on Instagram: "Doing what I do best 🤍⛸"

Would Gabby Daleman consider doing an arm over the head variation in an actual program?
She toyed with this in the program in the 2016/2017 season on the opening 3Z. Ultimately she abandoned it mid way through the season after having missed it several times.Gabrielle Daleman 🇨🇦 on Instagram: "Doing what I do best 🤍⛸"

Bulawka (Feb. 24): https://rss.com/podcasts/wide-open-spaces/401995/Emily Bausback is the 2020 Senior Women’s Canadian Champion, National Team Member and... a beautiful human being, inside and out. Despite injuries, pandemic and a rough road towards her first ever gold medal at the National Championships in 2020, Emily stood tall and overcame adversity in the face of challenges. She just recently announced her retirement [Jan. 14, 2022] from competitive figure skating after an admirable career, filled with highs and lows. In this podcast, we cover everything from our obsessions with Whole Foods to mental health stigmas in figure skating. Emily opens up about her own struggles with mental health and body image these past two years. There is power in stepping into your own vulnerabilities, especially in a society that perceives it as being weak. Definitely worth a listen!
I am very excited to give you a little glimpse into my life as an athlete so far. This is Part 1 of a 2 Part series about my journey to figure skating.
In this episode, I share some unforgettable moments, funny/embarrassing stories and some of the mountains I had to overcome along the way, which have all shaped me into the athlete and person I am today. Give it a listen!
Yes, Amelia Orzel is listed as representing Ice Palace FSC in the entries list for the Wild Rose Invitational in late July in the Edmonton area, along with Kaiya Ruiter in Senior:I think that seems like a good choice for Conrad! I think he’s got lots of potential, but hasn’t really huge strides over the last couple seasons. Good for him for making a big change like that [switching to Ravi Walia]. Wonder if his sister will follow him?
Per the international assignments page the new team of TILDA ALTERYD / GABRIEL FARANDT (I think his last name is spelled wrong? He and Pereira should start a support group LOL) have been assigned to Warsaw Cup.
