On the English livestream, host Ted Barton (in his Vancouver studio) is commentating with Kevin Reynolds ("in his new home" of Auckland, New Zealand where it's 4:26 am!)

 

[JoannaLouise]

I'm working in the office today, so I'll have to rely on comments from the rest of you!

I must have missed the news that Kevin moved to New Zealand. Did he say if he's doing something skating-related there?

 

[Sylvia]

LOL Ted asked Kevin if he ever won the Junior title and he self-deprecatingly replied that his best finish was silver ("you may have of heard of Patrick Chan...").

ETA:

I've heard that it is skating-related, yes.

I'm only partly watching (mostly listening) for now - will try to post some comments starting with Heiderich at the end of group 2.

 

[Sylvia]

Liam Schmidt (choreographer is Sebastien Britten, one of my favorites to watch in his day ; Bruno Mars' "Skate" kicks in after about a minute) - jumps: 3Lz+2T smooth, 2F, 2A.

ETA: 52.69 in 1st

Same. My grocery order just arrived & I've got something else on the TV right now, but I've been mostly listening to the men in the first group.

 

[Elisheba]

James Cha is attempting angst to Lachrymosa, landing stuff but a little crazily. Hair is a bit tragic.

Hi everyone
I decided to check in on the juniors this week. I don't usually tune in until Sr. competition at Cdn. Nats but, with things not exactly stellar in senior men's singles at the moment, you never know .... might discover a hidden upcoming gem in the Juniors. Good luck to everyone.

 

[Elisheba]

Furman is very smooth and pleasant. Very calm skater. Solid 3-2.

 

[Skate Talker]

Etienne Lacasse had such a nice smile going in the middle of that program - seemed genuinely happy at that point. Unfortunately that smile faded.

There are some very talented Junior men in this field - glad you're watching!

 

[skateboy]

Louie Fukuda-Wu was good! Should lead.

ETA: Into 2nd, must have been some deductions I didn't catch.

 

[Elisheba]

I like Louie Fukuda-Wu! Despite the Muse of it all. Nice spiral to open, followed by a big fast 3F. I'm into him!

 

[Sally1214]

A really great skate by Fukada-Wu. Enjoyed that a lot. Yeah ... throw in that double fist pump at the end. You deserved it!!

 

[Sally1214]

2nd ... hmmm... thought he'd be 1st. But still a great skate.

 

[Elisheba]

This is the second Woodkid program and neither of have gone very well.

 

[victorskid]

Louie Fukuda-Wu was good! Should lead.

The scores are very close 52.69 to 52.60.

I have "sort of" been watching but my tub to shower conversion was being completed and I had to be somewhat involved, including providing the credit card when it was done

Same boat here. I'm watching now but the appliance repair guy is due any minute to repair my dishwasher. He will also want some imput from me as to the problem .... and most definitely my credit/debit card at the completion of his work.

 

[Sally1214]

Skating can be SUCH a distraction. I was trying to watch while checking my text messages to see if the appliance repair man is on his way and somehow accidentally deleted voicemail entirely from my phone!! So, more fiddling around was required to get it back. Geez .....

[Cachoo]

Sylvia, thanks for all of the information.

 

[Elisheba]

I'm pretending to work. Unfortunately my coworkers are needy and demanding. I work remotely. My coworkers are cats.

 

[Skate Talker]

What was that with Parker after the flip - some sort of weird stopped working his program for a few seconds before resetting himself.
Some quality skating but I can't say I like the music - seems not really to be music somehow?? I actually enjoyed his skating more on the replays without music.

 

[AngieNikodinovLove (ANL)]

Parker wasn’t bad at all, I could see him evolving into a very good senior competitor

 

[Sylvia]

Parker Heiderich can do 3Lz+3T but doubled the lutz today in his “Creep” SP; landed 3F & 2A. Coached by Scott Davis.

 

[Sally1214]

Overall, a pretty good skate from Parker Heiderich.

Is this Kevin Reynolds we're listening to? He has a very nice speaking voice.

 

[AngieNikodinovLove (ANL)]

Is this Kevin Reynolds we're listening to?

I don’t think, so is it? Well, I enjoy him as a competitor. I feel his commentating is one of the most monotone ones.

Kevin is a technical specialist in Canada and knows his stuff!
