2025 Canadians Women’s Free: Butterfly Lovers or moths to a championship flame?

[Wyliefan]

Oh Lord, when was the last time someone skated to "The Way We Were"?

 

[floridaice]

She is a beautiful skater

It suits Amy’s skating because she’s got a 1990s US lady vibe in the best possible way.

 

[Desperado]

Did the feeds always have ads and I missed seeing them for 2 days?

 

[fsfann]

she skated so well but Joanne McLeod?! Please someone get her away there ASAP. Ravi Walia or Lee Barkell could do so much more with her. There is so much insane potential with her, it just drives me bananas that she's stuck under McLeod.

Agree. Any skater with potential should RUN fast.

They've only had them during the ice resurfacings.

Okay, I've made the switch and sent the stream to the TV for the last two groups of women.

Wow! Kara Yun -- I might have to become an uber!!

 

[Karen-W]

Well, that was lovely for Kara, but that program just petered out at the end - which is a failing of the choreo & music more than anything the skater.

 

[Former Lurve Goddess]

Wow! Kara Yun -- I might have to become an uber!!

She was awesome!

 

[Colonel Green]

That was lovely.

 

[kwanfan1818]

Yun was wonderful!

 

[victorskid]

She was awesome!

Her coach agreed

 

[Colonel Green]

Well, this takes me back to the early 2000s.

 

[Karen-W]

Well, Miclette's going to drop behind at least Yun & Shiryaeva with those popped jumps & uncompelling program.

Who sings this song - the story of my life?

Where do the choreographers find these covers?

Where do the choreographers find these covers?

Julie Marcotte’s bargain basement CD outlet.

Where do the choreographers find these covers?

Are the rights to use them easier to get? Cheaper?

 

[Lana K]

One Direction!

 

[Karen-W]

Woodley - well, no, I wouldn't call it 'amazing', Kaetlyn, but it was solid. It'll be close to see if she can remain ahead of Shiryaeva. I'd have her behind, but the Canadian judges don't like Shiryaeva as much as the international judges do, so they low-balled her today & it could keep her from moving up more than she should.

 

[Sally1214]

Very nice skate by Megan. Darn it, I missed Kara Yun (phone call) but I guess she was great? Thank goodness for eventual replay videos.

 

[kwanfan1818]

Woodley reminds me of Kurakova. I like her dynamic quality.

 

[Karen-W]

Pomerleau - that was boring. I was more interested in playing 'chase the light' with Bandit.

 

[AngieNikodinovLove (ANL)]

Good program for her and she was believable in this program.

 

[beckab81]

I'm seeing some improved skating skills, and better use of her arms, but I wish Kaiya had made a move 1-2 years earlier. Not a bad skate, but not sure she'll move up (lots depends on the rotation calls)

 

[Wyliefan]

Good fight, Kaiya.

 

[kwanfan1818]

Ruiter was not unwatchable.

 

[Karen-W]

What is with these programs that end with a near-whimper musically? Ruiter was fine, apart from the one fall. I wouldn't hate seeing her on the podium.

 

[Former Lurve Goddess]

Speaking as someone with a Wonder Woman necklace, t-shirt, apron, bracelet and pin, I wish Kaiya’s program was more fun. She’s cute Canadian perk - might as well use it.

Did Gabrielle do a wonder woman program?
