I saw Elvis both at 2024 Worlds Gala and at the most recent Stars On Ice. Agree with everyone's comments. He is amazing still! Likely the best of the "older" crew with his skating skills and jumps. A big crowd pleaser!
That’s a bit harsh. I think we have several capable world competitive men’s skaters as proven by the medals already this year? In addition to the overall points ranking, Roman is ranked 11th in the world. Perhaps a more accurate statement might be too bad we do not currently have a world champion or world medalist, unlike in the past.
Nah. It might be harsh, but it's true.

yes I saw that, great progress. He might even find some of the quads easier to get than the triple axel, as that happens for some. I don't think Keegan is catching the top current Canadian men based on his first international so far.Paradis made this reel with his triple axel

From his Instagram, he recently spent some time in Toronto at the cricket club
at a Senior comp!

Wesley Chiu skated well at the Super Sectionals Series this weekend as well.IceChallenge results:
Grayson Long: 3rd - yeah for bronze
Keegan Messing: 4th
(Jacob Sanchez in 2nd, Maxim Naumov in 1st but zero "wow" performances in the competition, every performance looked like a chore.)
Messing will get tons of cheers at the Canadian Nationals, but w/ one quad, no 3Axel and no triple-triple combo so far, I don't see him blowing away the Canadian competition.
Grayson can look to the future.

Ilia doesn’t even have to skate well to win. He won Skate Canada by 76 points! It’s getting to the point where he can almost just not even bother to skate his short program at all and still win.
Yes, he won SCI by 76 points but that's more a reflection of the skating from the rest of the field than Ilia blowing them away. If he'd been at NHK this week, he would have only won by about 48 points (and that's assuming he had the same completely clean tech panel review and huge GOEs that he got in Saskatoon last week).
It kind of is but I don't think anyone is expecting Paradis to be a jumping powerhouse. He's an amazing performer so with the 3A he'll start getting senior assignments which I don't think he has to date. I imagine he's going to one of the skaters who's a fan favourite but not a medal contender on the world stage.
I think we are definitely close, but I saw an interview with Ilia the other day and he's working on quints! Didn't say what variety though.
Better late than never....
I hope so, he is already showing signs of concussion syndrome with his head issues, dizzy etc., For longevity he needs to be efficient in training and listen to his body. He is amazing and no one will ever catch him IMHO. I would much rather him continue to explore his artistic side.
Malinin may have landed quints in practice already (as he has implied) but we have yet to see visual evidence.

That long program is a major downer, too....wildflowers in the mountains? GMAFB.
