2025–26 Canadian Women: News and Updates

Gabby with a huge jump combo (I can’t tell what the first jump is). From the comments and a reply from her she is really going for that Olympic spot. Hopefully she gets an international assignment soon.

I think she still just does a triple toe triple toe, she might need to upgrade that to be competitive. It’s really good the one she does do but hopefully she can do a flip or lutz with it?
 
I'd love to be wrong, but... come on... we're not seriously thinking a Canadian lady will land a 3A in competition are we?

I can't even be petty about Gabby Daleman still pushing that 3T-3T and hoping to go places with it. At least it's been landed in international competition, albeit 100 years ago.
 
This will be Maddie's 47th competition of this season. It really is killing them to assign Uliana, Gabby, and Amy, which is confounding and exasperating. At least John Kim finally got something...
It will be the 2nd one SC has assigned her to. The other two were domestic events (not Canadian domestic events, but still domestic) that she chose to go to.

I want to see the other women get spots too, but seriously, that can said without the hyperbole about Maddie. Two CS assignments is not unreasonable, and they've done the same for Fabbri/Ayer, Lauriault/Le Lac, Hensen/Lickers, Roman, Stephen, and Aleksa.
 
I really don't mind Maddie having 2 intl comps plus GP events upcoming but when you consider even Maddie herself was held back in the early days somewhat unfairly until she gave them no choice. Now she is competing every other weekend seemingly when you add in club comps, which is her strategy I guess. They just don't seem to learn their lesson and now they seem to be very stingy with the others, seemingly giving them 0-1 comps when Maddie gets 4. Just doesn't feel like smart strategy if you are trying to build confidence and experience with more than just 1 skater. Even Dupuis seems to not be getting all that much so far, but I know there are a few more senior B's to go...

And not to thread drift to a different discipline but I also feel like they rely too heavily on Gogolev and Rakic who seem to always just be going sideways with their results. I get there are not a lot of guys crushing it right now in Canada but even when there were other guys besides John Kim showing promise, they weren't getting that many chances internationally.

Right, but Maddie didn't 'get' 4 from SC. She got 2, and entered 2 others by her own choice. Gabby also competed in 2 club comps in the US (only the SP at the first one).

Domestic events in another country probably help a bit more with competition nerves I guess (for those not training in that other country), but they're still domestic events. Maddie has done 2 this summer. Gabby did 2 in the States and one in Ontario. Uliana did Quebec and BC, Sara-Maude did Quebec (and I know there are more I'm not remembering rn for some of them).

I'd be happy to see Sara-Maude get a 2nd CS, which she may (Warsaw for example would fit, since she only has the one early GP). And I certainly want Uliana and as many of the others as possible to get one. But I don't understand the need to overstate Maddie's assignments to make that point.
 
Obviously we all know she didn't do 47 competitions. It was a joke, but fine you are not amused. I think we can move on now
