2022 Skate Canada Challenge - Dec. 1-5 2021

[Catherine M]

So did someone trip over the power cord in the rink for senior men?!? These marks took forever for Bruce Waddell.

 

[Catherine M]

Since there's only 4 SR pair teams, I'm switching over--hopefully won't miss too much in Sr mens! Whoever made this schedule didn't think it out too much

How can I see senior pairs? Help!

I completely forgot this was on - I feel like such a negligent fan!

But Matte & Ferland skated a good program, including sbs 3T!

 

[Catherine M]

I had to take a call so of course missed the first two teams.

 

[jennysk8oboe]

Thanks, Sylvia. It tells me the stream has ended.

 

[danafan]

I didn't know Turcotte was still skating. I remember him a few years ago on the JGP.

The junior pairs replay is already up: https://www.dailymotion.com/video/x860vvi

Hopefully the senior pairs will be up shortly.

 

[Catherine M]

I find it easier to go through the Skatecanada page

 

[Catherine M]

Nice to see Patricia Andrew still skating and getting soooo close to the triple sal

 

[Sylvia]

Thanks, Sylvia. It tells me the stream has ended.

Stellato/Deschamps are next - try another player?

Regina Motor Products arena: https://skatecanada.ca/2022-skate-canada-challenge/

Unfortunately the CO-OPERATORS ARENA livestream -- Senior Men SP is live now -- is geoblocked on this page (I tried to let Skate Canada know but it hasn't been resolved so I'm watching that rink's stream via CBC Sports page).

 

[danafan]

If people didn't know you can click on the "Detail sheets" for the segment on the results page and protocols are uploaded, I think after every skater.

 

[Catherine M]

Unfortunatlely the CO-OPERATORS ARENA livestream is geoblocked on this page (I tried to let Skate Canada know but it hasn't ben resolved so I'm watching that rink's stream via CBC Sports page).

VPN for the win.

That was lovely by Deanna and Max. Hope they skate just as as well in the freeskate

Wow Stellato and Deschamps had a great skate. They could make nationals very interesting if they skate well and possibly make the world team.

 

[honey]

One jump in and knew immediately who Aleksa Rakic’s coach was .

How is that the technique taught by her has not been improved in the last 25 years?

 

[danafan]

So far Toman is the only skater to attempt a quad (4S<) and the only skater to get +GOE on the triple axel.

 

[danafan]

Oops. Nam down on the quad sal and only a 2lutz 2toe combo.

 

[honey]

On top of the jump woes, I really don’t think the pockets match this quasi swan lake he’s skating to.

That was rougher than I expected from Nam.

 

[Catherine M]

I know Nam doesn't need to qualify for nationals here since he has his GP bye but man that was just sad, that skate.

 

[honey]

Not bad for Gogolev! Down on the 4S, but it wasn’t a bad attempt. Nice 3F+3T and 3A.

How many senior men move on to Nationals?

Debut of their SP to "Happy Ending" by MIKA - 3twist (-1 GOE), good sbs 2A & throw 3S (54.75): https://cssterminalserv.skatecanada.ca/results/22CHALLJuniorPairSP1DRO.html

McIntosh/Mimar's new SP starts here in the replay video: https://www.dailymotion.com/video/x860vvi?start=1080

I MUCH prefer this song/music to the country duet cover of "Billie Jean" that they skated at the NextGen Camp simulation back in the summer.

How many senior men move on to Nationals?

Should be Messing, Sadovsky, Wesley Chiu (JGPF bye) + top 15 including Nguyen, right?
ETA: No, it's top 14 - I forgot Conrad Orzel who's scheduled to compete at Golden Spin next week with Messing and Phan.

Is Iliya Kovler the only "missing" name in Senior men?

loved it! Based on that performance I would hope they could have a very decent shot at making the Olympic team, 2nd best twist too next to Eric & Vanessa

 

[haribobo]

Also Conrad Orzel, so I assume it would be top 14 here to make Nationals (max field of 18).

Women not here are Emily Bausback and Madeline Schizas, so top 16 here should go (max field of 18).

Pairs not here are Walsh/Michaud, James/Radford, and MTM, so all the teams here should qualify (max field of 12).

Dance not here are Gilles/Poirier, FB/S, Lajoie/Lagha, Soucisse/Firus, and Lanaghan/Razgulajevs, so all teams here should qualify (max field of 15).

I don’t think Deanna has Canadian citizenship, so the Olympics are not possible for them.

Stellato only got her release from the US for this season so the 2022 Olympics were never the goal. She wants to skate at the 2026 Olympics.

I guess if you want your kid to become a successful skater, it's best to name him David!
