Anyone know why Markell wd?
He posted on his IG and FB that he had a fall on a practice after the short but did not state the type of injury.Anyone know why Markell wd?
Of the "class of 1999", Nathan Chen and Dmitri Aliev have really raced ahead of the pack, including the likes of Roman and Alexander Petrov. I'm still hoping it's a case of patience being a virtue for Roman as far the next Olympic cycle goes.
Looks like next season will be a race to see who'll be first to get a quadruple lutz landed in competition between Messing, Orzel, Phan and maybe Gogolev.
Here's the clip: https://www.instagram.com/p/BifWG64jxnh/Phan posted a clip of him landing a 4lz on Instagram
So Roman is only working on quad sal and quad toe for now? I guess it makes sense to get those fully consistent first.

Bennet Toman shared his 2018-19 programs in his blog yesterday (has been added to/updated in the spreadsheet): https://bennetsworld.wordpress.com/2018/05/06/my-new-programs-for-this-year/
(He also has a YT channel/vlog that's linked from his blog.)
I assume Joseph Phan and others, like Eric Liu and Brian Chiem (https://www.instagram.com/p/BiipTorltpY/?taken-by=ipfsc), are at Skate Canada's NextGen Camp there?Holy spaghetti!
Why is he at York university? Getting new programs?
Gogolev is getting a Marie-France exhibition number, will be interesting what they come up with.
@micaelis interesting observations. Let’s see how he develops first as we have been down this path before with Nam..
I don't think it belongs in the Canadian men's current season news thread, actually.Stephen will be competing at the Junior level internationally this year - the first year that he is eligible. Let's give him a chance to get his "feet wet" at that and see how the future evolves.
By the way, the post from @micaelis actually belongs in the 2018-19 season thread, I believe.

My two cents is that @micaelis (or someone else) might consider starting a thread in the Trash Can forum to discuss the international skaters at the Toronto Cricket Club that could also be a fan-type thread.
Where did you get this from "Stephen's hormone-induced mental instability"
I have never seen any nonsense like this. He is being treated carefully physically as he is in the middle of his growing stage and could experience injury if he is allowed to jump too much(or sometimes at all) He was fine before he started growing and when he is done he will be fine again (unless he ends up very tall)and the speed and strength from the new body will only enhance his former talent.
and psychological anxieties that can result in what seems to others, particularly older others, to be irrational. Part of the problem Brian had with Nam was in the attitude he was sporting then. Particularly because of Tracy's input, since she had 'teenagers' in her family, Brian was able to finally realize that teenagers can be irrational and the best way to cope with it is to go with the flow as much as possible.
I did not mean it in terms of physical training. I know very well how careful Brian is being with Stephen. In one interview he mentioned that at the first sign of pain in ankle, knee or elsewhere it's no jumps for two weeks. I was referring to the fact that adolescents, in adjusting to what's going on with their world as they are becoming 'grown-ups' are faced with a lot of social and psychological anxieties that can result in what seems to others, particularly older others, to be irrational.

Particularly because of Tracy's input, since she had 'teenagers' in her family, Brian was able to finally realize that teenagers can be irrational and the best way to cope with it is to go with the flow as much as possible. In using the term 'hormone-induced mental instability' I was just spotlighting that, although I deliberately exaggerated using the terminology I did. It was simply to make the point that there's more to growing up than just getting bigger. Mental changes are also taking place and no athletic trainer dealing with adolescents should simply confine the training to matters physical. What I'm hoping, and because Tracy is on the scene, what I'm expecting is that Brian is ready to deal with Stephen's psyche as much as with his physique. He does not want to have a 'Nam' repeat.
