ETA:

Here is the announcement of Skate Milwaukee,

The last page has the event table. It does not show the feeling of JGP singles selection, though.

Do you have a schedule for Dallas Open? I may go by and watch

Event Schedule | SkateDallas

www.skatedallas.org

Just be aware that the Safety Plan section of the website states:

This seems to be the standard operating procedure for club competitions so far - spectators/fans are not being allowed in to "just watch" the competition unless you're connected with a competitor. This policy is likely change as the summer progresses, however (the Philadelphia Summer Championships Announcement says there will be an admission fee for spectators, for example).

Skate Dallas starting orders/results page: https://ijs.usfigureskating.org/leaderboard/results/2021/29935/index.asp
There are 2 ISP ladies competing - Jessica Lin in the Senior combined event and Tamnhi Huynh in Junior (ETA that Huynh is now listed as WD).

Thank you! I'll be in Dallas on those days and would love to see a competition in Texas!

We are happy to report that COVID-19 restrictions have been relaxed for all U.S. Figure Skating sanctioned events!
What does this mean for Skate Milwaukee? Two major changes—
There are no masking or distancing requirements
There is no limit on the number of persons allowed into the facility
Our event will still be streamed live (links to come), but feel free to come watch next week's competition in person! In addition to our regular Skate Milwaukee events, we are excited to be hosting the Junior Cup on Friday and Saturday—it's sure to be a weekend of incredible skating at the Pettit Nat'l IceCenter!

See U.S. Figure Skating’s Revised Policy (effective July 1, 2021) for more details on updated COVID-19 precautions:

@ErikWilliam here's the ticket info for Dallas Cannon Classic (July 9-11): https://www.dallascannonclassic.org/ticket-information

 

[Debbie S]

The USFS policy the Skate Milwaukee LOC is referencing does in fact have a masking requirement for those who are unvaccinated (regardless of facility policy). Not that anyone will be checking, and most likely the unvaccinated won't wear a mask, but that is the official rule.

Yay, we'll see if Zhou is back to normal. This should be fun to watch! Thanks Sylvia for posting this! T minus 54 minutes....

 

[Sylvia]

Brandon Mroz will be coaching according to Aerial Challenge's Instagram account (Pooja Kalyan will be taking over their stories): https://www.instagram.com/aerialchallenge/

 

[Wyliefan]

Per Instagram, they're running 30 minutes behind.

 

[ЭPiKUilyam]

Yes, 8pm Mountain Time, 9pm Central, 10pm Eastern

 

[ЭPiKUilyam]

Uggh, another 15 minute delay....

 

[Sylvia]

What was Paige Rydberg's first jump before the half loop (1Eu)+3S?

 

[ЭPiKUilyam]

3toe?

 

[Sylvia]

Men:
Vincent Zhou - 3A+3T+3T
Kai Kovar - 3Lz+3T+3T
Camden Pulkinen - 3A+1Eu+3S
Joseph Klein - 3Lz+1Eu+3S

 

[Wyliefan]

I missed Paige. I was having a little trouble getting the stream going on my phone.

 

[ЭPiKUilyam]

I missed Paige. I was having a little trouble getting the stream going on my phone.

I think it was Paige who did a 3T-E-3S smooth as silk.

 

[Sylvia]

Paige gets all 10s for her effortless-looking 3T+3T.

 

[YukiNieve]

What are the rules for men's final?
The audio is quite hard to listen.

OK, 3A+as many as you can jump.

 

[Debbie S]

Vincent has to be dizzy after all those 3S!

 

[Sylvia]

Vincent has to be dizzy after all those 3S!

How many did you count after his opening, easy 3A? Maybe five 3S (with two half loops preceding most of them) and two 2S at the end??

I think Camden did 3A+1Eu+3S+2T+2T?

ETA: Awww, the camera panned over to Karen standing by the boards in the corner who's there to support Camden.

I also spotted Kori Ade, who coaches McKenzie Edwards.

 

[Debbie S]

How many did you count after his opening, easy 3A? Maybe five 3S (with two half loops preceding most of them) and two 2S at the end??

Yeah, I think it was 5 triples. I kept thinking it was the last one and he kept going. So we should expect a good 4S this season?

 

[Sylvia]

Ladies Championship Round:

Lilah Gibson (competes at Novice level): 3Lz step out, 3Lz fall (3rd)
Phoebe Stubblefield (competes at Novice level): 3A fall, 3A fall (2nd)
Paige Rydberg: 2T, 4T attempt/step out (1st)

(Too bad Maryn Pierce didn't make the CR because she has tried 3A in competition.)

 

[Sylvia]

Men Championship Round:

Camden Pulkinen: 3T (opened up), 4T fall; 4T fall, popped quad toe into double - finishes 3rd; wins highest jump award for his 3A

Kai Kovar: 4T fall, 4T fall (looked pretty good) - finishes 2nd

Vincent Zhou: 4Lz (both arms overhead)+3T, popped quad flip; 4Lz (both arms overhead)+3T, 4F from mohawk - he wins easily!

ETA: Everyone came out the end and did some jumps & tricks together ... good to see Joseph Klein's "trademark" cantilever into 3S again.

ETA #2: Nice to see the top 3 men & ladies get some prize money (assume that's what was in the envelopes being handed out?) again this year.

 

[ЭPiKUilyam]

Well, that was fun. Not sure how closely we were to scrutinize the rotations, but Vincent landed 4lutz and 4flip. Did Camden retire? I remember a US guy in the mix decided to retire this season.

The ladies were okay. Not much aerial challengers there this time. Paige has a nice technique, even tried 4toe!

No, Krasnozhon retired.

Start orders are posted.

Is there a schedule posted publicly? I checked the club and livestream sites and didn't see anything.

 

[seabm7]

It's quite interesting that they have two separate competitions for junior level skaters at Skate Milwaukee: Junior Cup and Junior

TSL has said that this event is being used a JGP selection event. It looks like the JGP selection is separate from the regular competition. Based on entries, the Junior Cup events seem like the skaters going for JGP.

 

[TanithandBenFan]

@Sylvia have you heard which dance teams besides the Browns and Wolfkostin/Chen are competing at Cannon this weekend? My sister is going to watch the free dances so I will pass along any reports I get!

 

[Sylvia]

@TanithandBenFan, Ice-Dance.com plans to cover the event in Allen, Texas, so hopefully they can/will provide more info if the entries/starting orders are not published online ahead of time. Please thank your sister in advance for any impressions she will share with you/us!

ETA:

Is there a schedule posted publicly? I checked the club and livestream sites and didn't see anything.

I didn't see an event schedule linked from the new microsite either (have sent them an email about it): https://skatemilwaukee2021.weebly.com/

Since the livestream is confirmed now, I'll create a separate Skate Milwaukee competition thread by later today.
