I have decided I don’t hate her skirt but I wish he had more color than the lining of the bottom of his jacket

Quebec summer championships

In August, there was Quebec summer championships in figure skating (you can watch it here) and here are some highlights:

Gabby Daleman! That’s it. That’s the highlight. The music of both programs suits her so well - Libretango and Samson and Delilah. She won the comp by over 30 points, whereas she led only by three points after the short. 

In pairs, it was the first outing of James/Radford. They appeared only in the short. And you know what? They do look good. I’m not a fan of painting the skills of skaters - I may not like - in bad light and intentionally diminishing their accomplishments. So, I’m saying they do look good I’m just not sure I want to see them, especially at the Olympics...

In junior ice dance, we had two parties on the ice in the rhythm dance, I love it when skaters go full out. It was Jordyn Lewis/Noah McMillan skating to Perm and Grace Pale/Kieran MacDonald skating to Le freak. If anyone is missing Too darn hot from last season, be advised that it’s possible to skate even blues to it as proved by Jamie Fournier and Anthony Haddad. 

Of course, the most memorable performance in juniors is without question Hannah Lim/Ye Quan skating to Gangnam style. It’s totally not my cup of tea but objectively it’s a great choice by the choreographers, especially in the Olympic season. But honestly, I loved much more their FD to Cats. The cat moves at the beginning! The speed! Such a mature performance. And the lift when Hannah hooks up her leg behind Ye’s neck!

And we have two amazing FDs to Oblivion! I love love love it. You know the traditional way, rose in the hair, matador moves... Just watch Eliane Foroglou-Gadoury/Felix Desmarais and Jordyn Lewis/Noah McMillan. 

Of course, I was the most interested in senior ice dance... (I mean FD)

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: I’m no fan of this season’s RD. In fact, I can’t stand it and probably won’t watch it much this season because it’s no fun for me to watch it, I know nothing about street dance, about hip hop, about modern music and I don’t even feel any desire to get to know something about it. And it’s certainly no fun to read about my complaints so... 

I think that the example of that kind of typical choreo we’ll get in RD this season is Holly Harris/Jason Chan - Can’t get out of my head. It’s not that modern, there are attempts at appearing modern and it’s fulfilling all the requirements...

Out of the lesser-known skaters I liked Maia Ianneta/Liam Carr skating their FD to Clair de Lune. And also Torri Hollstein/Joshua Burger with their FD to Never enough. It was so nice, calming and with great lifts. 

There is a team from New Zealand! Charlotte Lafond-Fournier/Richard Kam. Their RD to Stay with me is a bit softer than the others, it’s quite nice with an interesting lift. And I loved their FD to Seven nation army so much. They even have military-like costumes! The marching, saluting! Even fighting in the step sequence! 

I believe there’s a conspiracy going on. I’ve never cared much about Tina Garabedian/Simon Proulx-Senecal but their RD to Respect is quite nice and they skate their FD to Autumn leaves and Luck be a lady. I mean Autumn leaves sung in French by Andrea Bocelli is one of my absolutely favourite songs (here it’s Sinatra’s version but anyway) and my favourite program by my favourite skater - which is obviously Javi - is Guys and Dolls.  So, I simply have to be a fan ;) They look really ready for Nebelhorn to fight for the Olympic spot in a month. 

What is quite interesting is that Alicia Fabbri/Paul Ayer skate their RD to the same music as Hurtado/Khaliavin. I do think H/K are more “contemporary” but this was also good. However, what is amazing is their Frida FD! Omg, Paul has half of Frida’s face on his shirt. And what a rotational lift. Alicia just hangs on Paul’s neck with her leg. This is flamenco on the ice. 

And finally, finally after more than a year my favourites Marie-Jade Lauriault/Romain Le Gac on the ice, now representing Canada. My notes say: “I love them, I love them even in this hell of a dance.” Ehm.... yeah that’s all I have to say about my feelings towards them and towards the RD (Downtown). Great twizzels and so much flow in the FD to Some nights. Much more than in the past.

ACI2021 - FD

Charlotte LAFOND-FOURNIER / Richard Kang In KAM - Fun skate with a lot of energy. Good skate and I can't wait to see this polished up. Haley SALES / Nikolas WAMSTEEKER - LOVE THE OPENING! My eyes gravitate towards him. Lovely flow. Nice speed. The LIFTS! OMG, I love this. The ending needs a little work. Watch out for this team. Small twizzle issue, but overall bravo. Carolane SOUCISSE / Shane FIRUS - Nice skate, speed, and unison. Lifts could use a little work but nice. Marjorie LAJOIE / Zachary LAGHA - Good skating and form. Fast paced. High energy. Caroline GREEN / Michael PARSONS - I love this program. That's it. They didn't rush it. They're on the podium. Olivia SMART / Adrian DIAZ - Nice skate. A couple of mis-steps but a good skate. The sword fighting is meh for me. They're on the podium. Piper GILLES / Paul POIRIER - Just wow! Needs a tad more work at the end to get them where they need to be...on the OLY podium. Beautiful. Looking forward to this unfolding more and more as the season progresses. They're on the podium.
