2025 Canadian Jr. & Sr. Sectionals/Challenge

[danafan]

Next Gen member Natasha Hewitt had a good skate with a triple loop double toe combo. All positive GOE on the tracker.

Looking at the protocols Pollock's triple flip was called 3Fq with ! but since it got full base value she still got the bonus.

 

[danafan]

Ice resurfacing after one group due to an odd number of groups. Sigh this always catches me off guard.

Results after group 1:

1 Reese Rose ON 52.13
2 Natasha Hewitt ON 49.33
3 Séléna Koster QC 41.22
4 Brookelynn Pollock BC/YK 38.67
5 Mila Marleau ON 30.25
6 Lucille Yang ON 29.79

 

[danafan]

I remember Mégane Vallières from Quebec sectionals where she also had a great skate in the short. I think this should take the lead. Tech tracker disappeared before the final element but it should be over 30. 56.26, she does take the lead.

Scores online have not updated in a while.

 

[JoannaLouise]

Lia Cho was so good! It's not just her jumps, although they were well done; she also shows good sensitivity to the music.

 

[danafan]

Wow Lia Cho is so talented. And she's so tiny. She will probably win this competition (and nationals) by a lot. But she can't skate junior internationally until the 2026-2027 season so I will hold off getting too excited about her potential.

Lia Cho was so good! It's not just her jumps, although they were well done; she also shows good sensitivity to the music.

Darn, I missed seeing Lia's SP to The Blue Danube (choreo. by Jeff Langdon) - her interim protocol can be seen here (63.35; 2A, 3F, 3Lz+3T): https://skatecanada.ca/results/CHA24JuniorWomenSP1DRO.pdf

ETA - thanks to @danafan for the link to Lia Cho's ISU bio (she turned 12 in August): https://www.isuresults.com/bios/isufs00120295.htm

In the ads playing during the ice make, Deanna Stellato-Dudek is wearing a Skate Canada shirt that says forty is the new twenty.

 

[Skate Talker]

Who used to use this music that Nam has? It's driving me crazy trying to remember.

 

[danafan]

Sandrine Blais had a good skate but she doesn't look happy with her score.

 

[danafan]

Stavrina Aranitis, next gen member, looks devestated after her score and ranking (21st) are announced. Two falls and no combo.

Is reese rose the girl who was training with Ravi walia?
