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

[AngieNikodinovLove (ANL)]

Who is this skater, her jumps could soon be the level of Anna Pezzetta

 

[Karen-W]

Has Brian Orser lost weight? He's looking slimmer to me.

Yes.

I didn't know Ozempic was sold north of the border.

 

[Aceon6]

Seeee... That's some BS scoring there - should have been behind Shiryaeva as well.

11 point advantage from the short

 

[Desperado]

Has Brian Orser lost weight? He's looking slimmer to me.

He started losing weight after his hip surgery. It must've really impeded his movement, so glad he's doing better.

FeeAnn.............one moment magic next moment despair. argh

 

[Karen-W]

You know, I had this notion, after Miclette skated, that no one should be putting their eggs in the baskets of the Quebec women and Fee-Ann is proving me right. I'm not sure this will keep her ahead of either Justine or Marie-Maude.

 

[AngieNikodinovLove (ANL)]

She resembles Anna Pezzetta right down to the jumping style

 

[Sally1214]

Me too. I hope he continues to do well. He's looking healthier here than he has in awhile.

 

[AngieNikodinovLove (ANL)]

Wow, and I called her program at 99 points, I am clocking these good

 

[floridaice]

I missed Lussier in the short, looking forward to seeing her skate.

I jinxed her

 

[Wyliefan]

Julie Marcotte must be the busiest woman in Canada, or at least fighting for the title with Marie-France.

 

[Karen-W]

Lussier's costume is awful. Those dark burgundy flower appliques are completely lost on the millennial pink dress. Yikes, she's falling apart worse than Fee-Ann did.

 

[Desperado]

So far, this is not a good day for skaters...

 

[Colonel Green]

The eternal fate of unknowns who placed unexpectedly high in the short program.

 

[Sally1214]

Julie Marcotte must be the busiest woman in Canada, or at least fighting for the title with Marie-France.

I was just going to remark about how busy she is. She must offer good prices for her work. Or .... maybe people just think she's really good at her job.

eta: Didn't she used to choreograph for Riku and Ryuichi ... but not this year? Personally, I think both of their programs this year are the best they've ever done (choreographically speaking).

 

[Lana K]

Julianne Guess being in the final flight was just too much pressure

 

[Wyliefan]

Oh dear.

 

[Karen-W]

Julie Marcotte must be the busiest woman in Canada, or at least fighting for the title with Marie-France.

And both of them need to take a break. They're not giving their best to anyone at all.

 

[AngieNikodinovLove (ANL)]

And both of them need to take a break. They're not giving their best to anyone at all.

I think I agree with that.

 

[jlai]

The commentators keep saying nerves and unexpectedly being near the top being a factor, but I think the short is more the unexpected part (but in a good way )

 

[Former Lurve Goddess]

Poor Julianne. I quite enjoyed her yesterday. The crowd was very supportive and the little girl next to me threw her a stuffie.

 

[skategal]

Many skaters excel in the SP and struggle in the FP.

Tale as old as time.

 

[floridaice]

Ok, with Fee Ann & Juliane's issues, all the bad vibes are used up and the next three will be ok

 

[Sally1214]

I like the way you think.

 

[Karen-W]

I know this is Canadian women & she wasn't that far back, but I can't believe no one's commented on how Kaiya's slayed her way from 8th to 4th at worst already.

 

[Karen-W]

Ok, with Fee Ann & Juliane's issues, all the bad vibes are used up and the next three will be ok

Doubtful. At least one of these next two will implode enough to put Kaiya on the podium, lol.

 

[floridaice]

When I saw her green dress I was worried! Great skate

 

[Desperado]

If Sara-Maude is happy with her performance - I'm happy.

 

[Sally1214]

There's the thigh-slapping reaction I was talking about last night! Well done, Sara-Maude.

 

[Karen-W]

I realize Sara-Maude is Quebec's last great hope for the podium here with the women, but... nope.
