For those you who didn't check the Canadian Figure Skating thread, I'm finally active again on this forum after going "missing" for several months. To make a long story short, I did finally get the operation that I needed for my life-threatening condition, so I'm no longer in danger of dying, but my recovery isn't going as well as hoped, so if my current symptoms don't improve after a certain amount of time, I may have to undergo another medical procedure. :


Nic's sole performance during the National Summer Series is his SP from Minto: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GnUb-kshHhY He withdrew from the LP.


I was hoping to see his new short program in person at the Quebec Summer Championships, but after skating for only about a minute during the warm-up, he appears to have injured himself (or exacerbated a pre-existing one) while practicing an Axel, and he withdrew from the competition. :( Unlike the previous two years, I didn't get the chance to talk to him, so there's nothing for me to report.

Hope all goes well.

Here's a video of a shirtless Nic to brighten our day! :biggrin: https://www.instagram.com/p/B3Zp87EnTqs/

Since he's showing off how physically fit he is, perhaps this is a sign that he's recovering from whatever it is that has been bothering him?

Let's hope so! Would love to see his have some great skates this fall!

Shirtless videos of Nic - also a great way to end a day!

It's so good seeing him skate again! :)

SP Thursday Morning Practice (1080p):


LP Thursday Afternoon Practice (1080p):


I don't know if I'll be able to upload more 1080p practices because I've noticed that the archived livestreams from earlier today have suddenly disappeared from SC's Dailymotion channel, so I won't be able to download anything.

We haven't seen him skate since Minto, which was 3 months ago, and it's quite plain from his charming big grin :biggrin: that he's very happy just to be competing again. This is my favourite short program that he has done so far :love: , with a different style than the previous ones. Nic confirmed to me on social media (squeeeeee, he almost never replies to his fans, so I practically jumped out of my seat when I realized that he wrote to me!!! :party2: ) that Mark Pillay had choreographed it. I thanked him for answering my question and wished him good luck in the free.


I do have his Saturday practice, but I've reached my daily limit on my Dailymotion account, so I'll upload it later.

Thanks so much for posting this. Alas NBC has already blocked it.

His SCI LP (No Commentary 1080p):


Considering that he hadn't competed in 3 months, I'd say that this is a pretty good performance 👍 , although that splat after he had completed the 3F came out of nowhere! :eek: At least he was able to laugh at himself for the silly mistake. :p


LP Saturday Practice (1080p):

Would you like me to upload his SP on a different site?

If there is somewhere NBC won't block it, yes. They annoy me so much.

I've experienced 3 power outages since Friday (no power = no Internet), and the situation is still unstable (I had no electricity for 90 minutes this morning), so I only managed to upload Nic's Internationaux de France free skate.

IdF LP (No Commentary 1080p): [Dead link]


I do intend to post his IdF SP eventually, although his performance was worse than at SCI :slink: , so I don't think any of you are desperate to see it.

The "Sunglasses at Night" exhibition number must be what Nic was talking about in this old Instagram post :rofl: : https://www.instagram.com/p/BusWusYHybx/

"Boobs are like the sun. Ok to look, dangerous to stare. But that's what sunglasses are for."



And I forgot to share this IdF promo vid by Skate Canada, where Nic is the second skater featured: https://twitter.com/SkateCanada/status/1189594613717356544

So far, the only two good-quality SCI Nic-related vids that I could find from TSN's television broadcast is a brief warm-up clip and his LP. If more content shows up, I'll of course share it with you guys.
