Adult Competitions

[gkelly]

Does anyone have a link to someone doing the pre-bronze adult compulsory program (not the test; the program) from this season? I believe I was am doing the wrong mohawk pattern, and I would like to see others doing the program so double check my thought on this.

I don't have a link and don't have time to search for one right now.

But the description of the move is the same as what's in the Pre-Freeskate level of Learn to Skate group lessons, so you could also search for kids doing it in Pre-Freeskate.

Hope everyone who competed at Sectionals skated well and had fun!

Does anyone know how many Champ Gold Men advanced from Easterns? I know more than 4 qualified due to the fill-up rule but wasn't sure if it was 6 or all 7. TIA!

I saw something on Facebook that said they all did, but I don’t know if that’s true. I did see 7 out of Easterns and 5 from Pacific. I thought there was a champ gold men’s event at Mids (when I had left the rink for a bit), but I didn’t see a result for it on Ice Network.

Gaaaah, good luck, everyone! So excited to hear about your respective adventures and experiences! ❤

@MadMac NJ State Games, my friend! Mass. had theirs in February...which is probably good since I'm wildly unprepared for it.

Ice network has some of the Adult Sectionals videos up now and they can be watched by people without paid subscriptions (like, uh, me).

As an aside, while watching the Women's Junior/Senior championship competition I thought I saw a dude in the background walking around in blackface and a grass skirt. Please tell me I was imagining this.

Haven't seen the vid, but my guess is there was an Artistic or Light Entertainment event scheduled not long after, and that skater was just in costume.

Champ Jr/Sr was followed by all levels of Light Entertainment - female skater in Rafiki costume and yellow/red/blue colored (not blackface!) face makeup and grass skirt. There was also a Minion, Dory, SeaWitch, Robot, Lobster and many other colorful characters walking around that evening. Plus a Tonya/Nancy duet and a mini striptease to Raining Men (male skaters). You are never bored watching the entertainment events!

Did my program for the first time today at a local event. Considering I was at single digit run throughs and have only done about 3 of those with music, am happy to report I (almost!) made it through. Wiped out setting up my last spin, before I even stepped into it (skillz!) but then decided to do it anyway. And then cut the combo spin short since I realised I was overtime and got it called as base. Still 19+ its with a fall and first time out is way better than I was expecting so I will take it

Good job, @ioana! Are you doing AN?

Good job, @ioana! Are you doing AN?

Thank you! I am signed up for the non-qualifying event and should hopefully be able to make it barring any work disasters. Which, unfortunately are not that rare.

And good luck to all FSUers competing!
