2026 Canadian Championships - Senior Men - SP & FS

[Former Lurve Goddess]

No! A double loop from Long was not the chaos I was looking for.

Same. I really liked Grayson when I saw him live at last year's Nationals.

 

[Desperado]

Is DailyMotion better than Gem or same video issues? Will switch if there’s a difference.

The French Daily is fine for me so I assume it’s a Gem issue.

 

[Alilou]

Grayson popped the 3Loop

I know. What a drag.

 

[Lara]

Underrotation too, darn.

 

[Aaron MB Fan]

Yes, but no - Kevin is a Technical Specialist who has the knowledge to get things right for this all important Olympic-qualification-impacting Canadian Championship.

@fan and I ran into Kevin at the restaurant close by for a quick dinner! He seems to be doing very well.

 

[JoannaLouise]

Argh, Grayson! That 3a was such a beauty, too

 

[danafan]

Bondar is another contender for the junior worlds spot. Let's see how this goes.

You do understand that you are contractually obligated to pass on any and all voids that you can encounter while in Gatineau.

That was a great skate from Bondar!

I have to say the junior international men skating in this field are all interesting to watch with some interesting if not quirky choreography.

 

[Former Lurve Goddess]

I probably shouldn't jinx them but is it possible that the Canadian men's field might finally be coming out of its long slump?

 

[skategal]

Anyone else on cbc gem get an AD right in the middle of Bondar’s program? Or am I the only lucky one.

Grrrrr.

Fingers crossed. There's definitely potential.

 

[danafan]

Great from Newnham. Another contender for the 4CC team (he got to go last year as a sub).

So far a much better competition than last year's nationals!

 

[tangerine dream]

Just got here, the crowd looks great!

Very good skate for Newnham, really skating up to his potential here.

 

[JoannaLouise]

Everything about that was beautiful

 

[Desperado]

Great skate for Matthew!!

That music though…

 

[Alilou]

Matthew Newnham awful wailing music that made my ears bleed, but beautiful skate.

Grrrrr.

I didn't so maybe just you

Grrrrr.

I hadn’t switched yet and no ad. Would be annoyed too!

 

[danafan]

80.01 - 80.0!

 

[skategal]

Here comes Keegan. I have no idea what to expect lol.

 

[danafan]

That was okay from Keegan. Deep landing on the quad and only a double toe, a touch down on the lutz. Let's see how much PCS love he wll get from this panel.

 

[tangerine dream]

Here comes Keegan. I have no idea what to expect lol.

The usual -- speed, big jumps with uncontrolled landings, little connection to the music?

 

[Desperado]

Keegan still looks quite out of shape but he has the experience to survive his on-ice mistakes.

 

[marbri]

I see the music was edited so the R O C K in the USA wasn't so obvious but why not just remove it all together then

 

[skategal]

Jumps barely held onto but speed, spins, footwork were great.

 

[my little pony]

if he stays unretired long enough, eventually we will get a dexa bone scan

 

[danafan]

WOW behind Kim and Newnham!

 

[JoannaLouise]

That score feels fair, I'm just surprised the judges didn't hold him up more
