4 Davids
3 in the first flight.
This will set the tone for the entire week !

I had high expectations for Grayson before, but he hasn’t been delivering top results for the last a couple years. Hope he can stabilize soon and show his potential.

Yeah... he was very promising then didn't deliver... but it's pretty much the same with all the juniors. The one I am looking for at this point is Edward Vasii, last year's Junior champion but he had a very tough injury and he is out all season... so we will have to see how he gets back.

Has that not been the story with our CAN men for a while now. A few show promise then they have a major set back and never seem to get back to their old form. Is it because they are being pushed to get the big jumps and combos before they are really ready?

I don't know. I have no idea about Edward's injury. I am not on social medias so I am not sure what he has disclosed personally about what he is going through.

I think some of the men may have tried too hard too quickly... It certainly is a possibility. However, growth has been a major issue with our tall maple trees This is also why I believe in Edward : he is not only not very tall but his frame is quite small. I think he can fly !

Ted lost count of how many Davids there are.

Good attempt for the triple toe triple toe for Jacob Cote.
Not bad skate for the 1st skater

 

[soccerjc77]

Love the yellow glove from this skater.

 

[soccerjc77]

Spinning in both direction, not easy to do. Nice double axel.

 

[soccerjc77]

the kick in the last spin was cool !

 

[Jeanie19]

Vladimir. I love his outfit. Good program and skate.

 

[soccerjc77]

David Howes :
Good posture on his jump.
Unfortunated the lutz was beautiful and he sliped on the landing
Nice fly sit spin.

 

[yuumagical]

David #1 is an engaging performer, great way to kick off the battle of the Davids!

 

[saine]

A little slippery for David Howes.

 

[soccerjc77]

John Kim :
Nice triple axel !
Not the prettiest position on the combo jump but he manage to stay on his feet.
Nice lutz !
Need some work on the spin and the skating skill compare to David Howes.
But it was a nice skate from him.

 

[Jeanie19]

John. Nice outfit, great 3A. Beautiful flow on the ice.
