2025 Skate Canada Womens SP PBP - Night of the Cheating Edge

[genevieve]

this pink froth is so extra I love

 

[AngieNikodinovLove (ANL)]

Well, this is a much better dress, wow.

 

[Karen-W]

The feathers for our requisite whickety-whack of the night!

 

[Wyliefan]

I see Mone dressed as fuzzy dice for Halloween.

 

[peibeck]

Chris has gotten as feisty as me calling underrotations everywhere

 

[LilJen]

Electric magenta with feathers is a no for me. Sorry, Mone.

 

[Karen-W]

Also, I can't help wishing quartz was here with us for this dress.

 

[leilaofpaper]

Mone's whickety whack around her shoulders is wreaking havoc with the colour balance on my TV.

same

 

[tony]

IDK about perfect start, 3T didn't look very clean.

Still like the program, her basics are of course fabulous, but wish there would've been something new this year.

 

[MacMadame]

Another 90s RD that beats some of the actual 90s RDs.

 

[ilovesalchows]

Mone is doing her Alysa impression.

 

[Lilia A]

A bit scary 2A. And I'll pretend I didn't see the Lutz edge.

 

[just tuned in]

The neckline and feathers are darling. Don't like the cutouts. Love her energy. Hate the choreo -- could do so much more.

 

[Jay42]

Are any of the other Canadians having trouble with their feeds suddenly? Gem got very stuttery through the entire last 30 seconds of the program.

1978....

 

[Citlali]

Mone

 

[genevieve]

I mean, Chiba has absolutely no understanding of this song, but at least it's a good song she's skating around and not to

And even fighting for the 2A, that exit is still super cool

 

[Wyliefan]

She is so adorable.

 

[LilJen]

So, is Mone really, really bad when she's bad?
And is this really her last chance for love?
Inquiring minds want to know.

The dress is giving me Katarina Witt flashbacks with the feathers.

 

[slicekw]

Chiba’s almost too smooth and flowy for this music. She’s not taking advantage of the beat - if she got deeper in her knees and bounced a bit, it would suit the music. That being said, this is a great package for her. Ended too soon.

 

[her grace]

Chiba

Must we all repeat programs?

3f-3t, tiny 2a, good flying camel spin with layover position, 3z, good speed and energy.

 

[MacMadame]

1978....

Even better...

 

[leilaofpaper]

Another 90s RD that beats some of the actual 90s RDs.

a 90s RD, from 1979?

don’t give FB/C any more ideas

 

[peibeck]

Chiba: I admittedly didn't like this program last season, and I still don't. She skated very well. I just don't buy Donna Summer as a vibe for her.

Also, why would anyone put maribou feathers on a skating costume? They shed like mad.

 

[Aaron MB Fan]

Loved that from Mona! She sold it well and had the crowd in the palm of her hands. Great dress to complement the program too. Should easily go into first.

 

[chewy]

Mone has tremendous glide and edge in her basic skating. Fantastic !

 

[Sally1214]

Well, that was nice skate by Mone. Loved the hold on that 2axel. I even liked her dress. So, yeah, I bought it.

 

[Spikefan]

This is a program that had its moment.

 

[Skaterbob]

Maybe Chris can get on the calling panel.
