Yes - Minimum technical scores are needed.Do juniors and seniors need a score to attend worlds?
The junior competition begins tomorrow (Monday) - today was practice only.Looking forward to watching our juniors today. Can't wait to watch Brooke and Ben and see how they are doing. Anyone know what happened to William St. Louis and his partner?
Yohnatan Elizarov just competed in the Junior Men's event - he finished 9th. Ted mentioned that he also competes in Novice in Pairs.There is a Manitoba pair team - Ava Kemp and Yohnstan Elizarov ( I think) who won Challenge in novice and look to have a bright future. Too bad they didn't get to compete at Canadians.
You weren't too far off - it is Yohnatan with a y. Noticed that at Challenge.Man - I was sure off with the spelling of his name. Not sure where I got that - sorry.
I don't think there are any other events where they would be able to get the TES min before Jr Worlds. Challenge Cup is only 2 weeks before Jr Worlds so it's too late.With Fredette/St. Louis splitting and Panetta/Thrasher not earning the required min score at their JGP, and then Homick/Haubrich missing the SP score by 0.85 at Bavarian, only McIntosh/Mimar are eligible for Jr Worlds as it stands. Will H/H get another chance somewhere along with Carignan/Pierro who were just behind H/H at Nationals? Or will Skate Canada do the more expected thing and throw in the towel?

Per the ISU list, Panetta/Trasher are eligible for jr worlds (the scores are 23 SP and 34 FP).With Fredette/St. Louis splitting and Panetta/Thrasher not earning the required min score at their JGP, and then Homick/Haubrich missing the SP score by 0.85 at Bavarian, only McIntosh/Mimar are eligible for Jr Worlds as it stands.

Well let’s hope they make some changes ….another 4 years of the same thing will not be very beneficial and boring !!!There are a couple new teams with great potential chasing their heels! There will be no guarantees as they have learned!Not sure if it had been confirmed before, but looks like Walsh/Michaud intend to stick around for an attempt at the 2026 Olympic Team.

“We are of course dissapointed we didn’t make the team but we have a new fire to make the 2026 Olympic team!”
This is also when I saw it as well. Beyond Eric & Vanessa, most of the Canadian Olympics marketing I have seen have focused on Gilles/Poirier.The J/R Skip The Dishes commercial has had some decent rotation on the sports networks, I think I saw it for the first time around 2 weeks ago, (after nationals completed).
Speaking of, Piper's Instagram stories mentioned that they have their own Stories sticker for the games, sponsored by Cheerios.This is also when I saw it as well. Beyond Eric & Vanessa, most of the Canadian Olympics marketing I have seen have focused on Gilles/Poirier.
