2025 Canadians Men FP - Last Man Standing?

[Dave of the North]

So, Paul P got in a fight after the RD and he let Anthony borrow his shredded top?

ETA: Roman is naturally pale I think.

 

[Sally1214]

So, Paradis has kept his FS from last year by the looks of things.

 

[victorskid]

Note sure if it’s just the arena lighting but Roman looks as pale as a ghost.

That is not unusual for him.

Oh my gosh ..... I hope he skates well. Going into the FS in 1st place isn't always something he handles that well.

 

[Desperado]

Matthew had a good start, and then…

 

[AngieNikodinovLove (ANL)]

There’s definitely some tragic music selections by this generation of skaters. Doesnt anybody even want to at least do Shakira? Hips don’t lie? Something…

 

[JoannaLouise]

Matthew kind of unravelling after that great start with a 3a.

 

[Dave of the North]

Well, I started to type it was a pretty good start for Sean Rabbit Matthew, but then...

 

[Karen-W]

Canadians should look into whether or not Taira Shinohara has any Canadian connections. Couldn't even qualify out of Sectionals for US Nats with a score that would be leading here.

Anyone in particular whose hips you'd like to be speaking the truth?

 

[Rukia]

There's something I really like about Newnham. He has very neat air position in his jumps, and for the most part they look landable. And then he just doesn't. Idk, there's something there if he can tweak a few things I think.

 

[Karen-W]

I think we all know the answer to this without even needing to ask. ANL has a one-track mind when it comes to Can Nats.

Guiltyyyyyyyyyyyy

 

[Sylvia]

I'm glad Matthew landed a nice 3A+1Eu+3S at least...

 

[peibeck]

Newnham's 3A/e/3S combo to start was impressive, but then kinda downhill from there. Doubled both flips and fall on the 3z. Sigh.

 

[Former Lurve Goddess]

Matthew has a really nice spiral.

 

[Dave of the North]

Matthew - prime example of a hot and cold performance. Nice skater, but the guys that let their mouth hang open the entire skate need some intervention...

Okayyy - the coach's hair needs more of an intervention I think. Is she trying to make us forget Joanne McL's hair???

 

[Sally1214]

Well, I agree with you re the mouth open .... but, then again, it seems to have worked well for Piper. So, who knows?

 

[Desperado]

Poor kid, he looks dejected.

With 4 to go: https://skatecanada.ca/results/25CDNSSeniorMenCR.pdf

1 Grayson Long ON 58.81 (9) 129.95 (1) 188.76
2 Matthew Newnham AB/NT/NU 64.33 (5) 122.00 (2) 186.33
3 Bruce Waddell ON 63.84 (6) 118.13 (3) 181.97

 

[Rukia]

well that was not too shabby

 

[Sally1214]

Forget the quads .... how many of these senior men we're seeing tonight do 3axels? I'm starting to think Amber G. could kick all of their butts. But, perhaps I'm forgetting someone?

 

[JoannaLouise]

David Li has such floppy emo hair.

He had a couple of messy landings, but it's nice to finally see someone skate like they believe in themselves.

 

[Dave of the North]

I'm partial to skaters named David, and he kind of hung on by his toenails to a couple of jumps. Nice job!

 

[Karen-W]

I know all the Kwaniacs love The Red Violin, but I just can't... that much screechy violin has never been my cuppa.

 

[Theatregirl1122]

This shirt brings up a lot of questions for me. Like ones that start with "why"

 

[Desperado]

The men’s performances have silenced FSU.

 

[Former Lurve Goddess]

Yay David!

 

[peibeck]

Nice for Li, already skating better than most anticipated, to have a pretty strong free as well. (And with Kwan music as well!) I think the tech score might drop on review (especially 2nd lutz), but good for him!

 

[Sylvia]

David Li ended his season last year at the Youth Olympic Games and his only Junior international this season was at the Cranberry Cup in earlly August 2024.

This is BY FAR the best performance of his season - good timing!! 65.04 (4) 132.95 (1) 197.99 1st
