2023-24 Skate Canada Challenge – Junior | Senior

[Heather T]

i loved that they indeed care about their costumes so nice... and well matched with music. They improved a lot. They took a long break and started their season late.

The dresses this year are so amazing.

Marie-Maude
The first of the Maude’s!!

Okay skate. Nothing spectacular. This will just be 100+ ; into 4th for sure

Marie-Maude... powerful jumps... a bit messy here... popped the loop... but the 2lz is intentional.. she should listen to me and change her jump layout to remove that double lutz...

I liked Marie-Maude.

Now go Sara-Maude!

 

[4everchan]

SO. MUCH. SNOW... I don't want to ever get out of my home....

Because you predicted the 4th place for sure, I will trust you... but don't miss out combo counts again LOL

Marie-Maude 164.25 Q
4th as I expected. So close to the domestic benchmark

 

[4everchan]

mmmm... i don't know but i would put sara-maude first here... in total score... second in the free though... but not too far off. I think she has improved her PCS a lot.

Sara-Maude
Our 4CC Queen from last year
This is the time of the year when she starts peaking. Not sure where they will place her. Kevin can crucify her with some calls. I think this is close around 110.

 

[4everchan]

Hetty had 5 triple jumps landed (one with q)

Sara-Maude landed the lutz, flip, loop, 2 salchows, one loop was a not... and there was a toe?

her jumps are usually quite big but the second loop was UR for sure.... maybe the last salchow too

 

[saine]

She's looking more comfortable with the program here than previously. It's improved since summer.

 

[4everchan]

oh oh.. she was hammered.....

So indeed Hetty is safe on the podium.

SMD 106.95 Q

Poor Kaiya... I know she can do the jumps, but she's been struggling in the free program so far this season. She did well to recover in the second half and get in all of her combos, and I really like this program, but I worry that the tech score is going to go down.

 

[4everchan]

Kaiya also having her issues.

 

[soccerjc77]

Great fight kaiya !

 

[RatedPG]

Great fight by Kaiya!

It is the non-jumping elements improvement that I noticed.

I think Kevin will lower her TES score by 5-6 points. But, I expect this performance to just top 110. Can be enough for gold. Praying

The tech panel has been making carrot soup, carrot cakes and even pickled some of the left over carrots they didn't know what to do with anymore... Winnipeg farmers have had a huge season... and let's not even talk about the queues.
