2017 Skate Ontario Summer Skate (Thornhill)
- Thread starter siberia82
- Start date
Thing is...Minto has historically been the event with a significant proportion of withdrawals ....so much so that it seemed that the schedule was designed to anticipate them..
But with skaters needing 2 NSS and two Ontario super series events, it seems like none were willing to risk foregoing Minto and for the first time in many years, there were few to no withdrawals e.g. for Junior Men.
At this point, those skaters who did well enough at Minto and CQd'E, or already have their NextGen/JPG status seem to feel they can pass on a third competition.
What I'm seeing from the remaining Thornhill start lists is that skaters who didn't skate to expectations in the earlier events are continuing on....as well as those who know that they won't meet the criteria get JPG slots, and are trying to make a case for a Junior berth at a B event or perhaps just trying to get in as many high level events before sectionals and Challenge as they can.
A shout out to two event skaters showing some Ontario grit at Thornhill:
Junior Pairs girls Evelyn Walsh and Alison Schumacher are in 4th and 5th respectively in Junior Women (1) after the SP.
Junior Ice Dancer Corey Circelli is also competing in Junior Men.

Thinking positive thoughts for the twins from Baie Comeau...
Emy Decelles came in at about where she was for the SP at nationals in January [48ish]...but an improvement over her opener at Minto...hopefully we'll see another good outing for her 3T-3T that she landed at CQd'E.
Kim is not in the start list, which suggests whatever forced her withdrawal from Minto is ongoing...

Anybody know what Kylie Tait's music is? It's so familiar, but I can't place it.
I don't know, but each time I see Elizabet I think she is dangerously thin. Kyle, by comparison was opposite. That's why figure skating is beautiful as it accepts all kind of body types. It is true that for high performance you need to fit some sort of frame, the thinner the better. But again, Elizabet is dangerously thin.
Uhh. That's not my time. Good luck to all the boys/ men 
)I'm liking the improvements that I'm seeing in Nam's expression, edges and skills.
The spins are cleaned up and centred compared to some issues we saw last season, which is a good signal that he's mastering his new height.
And I'm wondering if the struggles with the jumps are arising from timing issues due to efforts to step up the entry speed. Still slow entries for senior men's but things are changing there.

What a nice outing for this Singing in the Rain SP from Keegan Messing...
It's already taken a step up in polish since Wild Rose....
I must admit that I wondered if the splinted fingers on his left hand would impact his balance or focus....but not a jot!

SP 84.91 Go Keegan!

He looked really strong.
An odd skate from Stephen Gogolev... SP 64.52 and 5th place
Great energy, quality and flow through the first jump....
...but then it seemed the focus and energy faltered through to the planned 3A that he lost the edge of on take-off and blew the element...
Focus and intensity back through until just before the final spin....in which again he looked to have had a near thing on an edge...
