...and now there are actual practice vids of the top3 ice dance teams' programs on youtube!
e.g. partial FD run-throughs by Tessa&Scott and Piper&Paul plus WeaPo's SD
This has been a very good day!
What a night for Canadian skating! Meagan & Eric, Nam, Keegan, Tessa and Scott, all brilliant and on the heals of Kaetlyn's excellence. So pleased for Piper & Paul, Kaitlyn & Andrew, and Julianne & Charlie. I am so jealous of Mango at this moment...she must be on cloud 9. Can't wait for her report
Thanks bud. We all look forward to reading your reviews. :agree:

I only watched dance and pairs via stream (because by that time it was already about 3 am where I live ) but I'm glad to hear that Nam might have gotten past the rough period and Keegan is doing well, too... Gotta check out the singles vids!-Nam: I think that he is finally growing into his body. He still needs to work on his speed and spins, but I did notice an improvement in his skating skills. I like this program for him, and he is jumping well.
-Keegan: What a charmer! He's such a crowd pleaser. This is a great program for him. He is very fast in all aspects of his skating.
- I didn't mind V/M's costumes... Agree with the great body movement! They're just impressive to watch because they're so smooth and sharp and confident and good.-Tessa & Scott: Fantastic! Short dances really are their forte. This was very well executed. They both - but especially Tessa - move extremely well for Latin dancing. I like how they took a different spin on the genre. I'm not convinced about the costumes, but I'm sure that they will change throughout the season.
-Kaitlyn & Andrew: This didn't engage me. I actually caught myself spacing out a few times during their program, which rarely happens when they skate. I'm not sure what's not working, but hopefully the program will improve with more mileage. They seemed like they needed more training time.
-Piper & Paul: In contrast, this engaged me from start to finish. I always enjoy seeing what creative move/etc. they will come up with - This time, it's sleeves!
-Meagan & Eric: I loved this program! It's so sensitively done, and they have improved their aesthetic. Their body positions seem to have better stretch and line. I also love Meagan's new look.
-Julianne & Charlie: I love this program too - so modern and edgy! They did an excellent job of highlighting the musical accents.
I am very much looking forward to seeing the FD and FS programs!

Just take all the Kaetlyn bashing as a compliment. People wouldn't bother bashing her if they didn't recognize her as a threat to their favorites.
Happy for Kaitlyn's win! she got alot of height on the jumps today and pulled of 7 triples! good for her! Like I said in the AC thread, of course, she was going to be overscored competitions like this Skate America and Rostelecom are known for over scoring their own skaters. This isn't new information. Fans of kaetlyn please watch out for this nasty fellow called tjb he's very hateful towards us and kaetlyn. I don't want to name call but its come to the point where he's constantly attacking her any chance he gets.
For me personally it's the score quite ridiculous, knowing the skater a bit, she is actually in a good form if she can jump the 3lo and the 3-3 this early.
But please change the make up because it's a total mess.
tbh I think 142 with a couple mistakes just signals to us that a clean Kaetlyn is scoring close to 150, even if people don't want to believe it rn.Not perfect but 7 triples? When was the last time she landed a 7 triple program? She is moving her bar and others are getting, uncomfortable.
