Your full thoughts on the dance event?

Let's do this by order of placement in the FD

Nauryzova/Datiev - very slow, very messy

Nette/Westwood - felt like they were underscored, their lifts were very nice and they had nice flow and decent speed. Definitely showing promise

Lafond-Fournier/Kam - nice music that @macaroni-rascal evidently identified as music Tessa used which was hella impressive. They lost some steam in the second half but overall a solid performance

KanaDai and KoKo - will get their own post since this is wild

Harris/Chan - the best they skated this FD all season and showing some really nice qualities, they have a great flow and very nice edge work (that gets sloppy at times). The twizzles are for sure her nemesis. That being said I'm not a fan of the revamped second half of the FD, I get why they changed it but I preferred the old music.

Lauriault/LeGac - it's no secret I like this FD but this wasn't a strong outing for them, they lacked speed and attack and felt slow and tentative even during elements they usually shine in. However, this was still a breakthrough season for them as they consistently beat Soucisse/Firus (who got passed by them, L/L, and even S/W at nationals).

CPom - for me WUZROBBED, their protocols annoy me a lot because the only flaw you see is judges being bitchy towards them. Their choreo spin move is lovely yet gets little love, their character steps are fire and get little love. I hope they and Scott/Madi/Adria/MF will figure out how to max their potential on choreo elements, the rest will come naturally I hope.

Green/Parsons - did well but looked off on lifts and choreo elements, Love the entrance into the spin, their choreo steps were generic but scored too well. I do like them a lot, but MIDA better figure our an identity for them because another season of meh programs will for sure hurt them.

Lajoie/Lagha - their consistency is so impressive, they had one error this entire season and it was a small one during the choreo steps in the RD at skate Canada. I love their RD slightly more than the FD but them being able to do both styles so well is a testament to their abilities. As Ben Agosto wrote, "future world champs".

Candanes - had the best competition of their life and with Laurance having a MCL tear. I feel like if they skate like this at Worlds they have an outside shot at Bronze, either way I just love seeing them deliver like this.

Chock/Bates - my unpopular opinion is that their FD totally grew on me and I enjoy it quite a lot. They are very smart and strategic about their elements, they know how to max their choreo elements GOEs and that's what's been giving them a push the entire last quad. I think their packaging is smart, their elements and their placement is smart (OBSESSED with the choreo spin), and overall as I said before I would rather see them take Worls gold than G/P at this point...

Lastly, shout out to the ice dancers who ovedrall managed the altitude very very well in the FD.

What did you all think about 4CC dance?

So I have one day of competition and four days of volunteering at #4ContsFigure already in the books! How has time flown?! Two ice monitor shifts and three days of competition remain. I’m an elder millennial terrible at getting pics. Sorry. (at Broadmoor World Arena) https://www.instagram.com/p/CoeEmIFOWtD/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Some photos of Stephen from SP day.

1. #StephenGogolev: Happy he was able to complete the jumps, even if they weren’t the best quality. Short Program music was chosen because it stood out the most, and he enjoys skating to it.

2. Gogolev had "mixed emotions" about SP. "I'm happy that I was able to complete all my jumping passes, although not with the best quality." But he wasn't happy with his invalidated spin. Not sure what went wrong, but speculated he wasn't low enough in sit position. #4ContsFigure

CONGRATS YUZU ON FINALLY GETTING YOUR 4CC GOLD!

It’s been 10 seasons. He got his first 4CC silver in his first Senior season as a 16 year-old. Four Continents Championships... I guess you could say: 4th time’s the charm. This was a really good event overall, so I’m happy with it. By the way, the term for a skater winning every title in Seniors over the course of their career is called a “Career Grand Slam” (GPF, Euros/4CC, Worlds, Olympics). The term for winning every title in Juniors and Seniors  is “Career Super Slam” (or Career Super Grand Slam). Yuzu has become the first Men’s skater to achieve this.

Can we talk about how Keegan Messing showed up with just a leopard loincloth! And how he laid on the ice...with just a loincloth!!!!!

My old lady instincts were so strong I could only think "boy, you can catch a cold" "get up from there! It's ice and you are almost naked!!!!!"

[anewbeginningagain]

So KanaDai had a double fall in the FD at Japanese nationals, a fall in the RD in the midline at 4CC, and now Dai fell twice during their FD, once in the diagonal and once on the choreo lift. Tell me again why they are going to worlds over KoKo?
