Emmy Bronsard was working at the Jackson booth. saw Lauriault and LeGac, Sandrine Gauthier, Jordan from oniceperspectives, 3 tall pair guys traveling as a pack, the 3 Moir mom and cousin coaches, Peter Beaumont, Joannie Rochette, Kaetlyn Osmond, Jeff Buttle, more

they didn’t allow outside food in the arena, but people were definitely sneaking it in - saw a woman accidentally spill a half dozen wheels of cheese out of her bag just past security 😅

i got my Montreal bagel fix - i love a good NY bagel, but i like how the MTL ones are smaller and crunchier - they feel like different things

in the VIP seats behind the judges, the ISU had one whole section full of skaters and i guess officials? IMG had several rows blocked off. i guess sports management gets VIP reserve at Worlds

Kaetlyn Osmond on joining the stars of Team Canada on tour the first time

Anastasia Bucsis on Player’s Own Voice 6/9/20

Anastasia: What was it like joining that cast of superstars, the Tessas the Scotts, the Erics, the Meagans, the Andrews, the Kaitlyns, the Patrick Chans, the Joannie Rochette, etc, etc. What did that feel like?

Kaetlyn: it was terrifying. i've been very oblivious to the skating world my entire life. I never watched competitions. It was just not something that interested me. I never became a skating fan until after I retired from skating which I find really funny.

Anastasia: that's weird

Kaetlyn: it is weird, but I think it's cause I lived it so much that I just wanted nothing to do with it when I got home.

Anastasia: Yeah, i get it

Kaetlyn: But when I joined this tour, I was looking around, and I was like, well Tessa and Scott are Olympic champions and World Champions. Patrick is now a, I think he was a, I think he was still 3 time then. There are so many things that everyone had always won these titles or were recognized for something, and I was sitting there, and I was like, I joined the senior team last year, and I got lucky 3 times in a row, but now I have no idea what I'm doing. So that was really terrifying to join that, and I was only 18, trying to finish up schoolwork while everyone was out partying because I wasn't legal in often half the provinces.

Anastasia: Who was the most accepting? Like who was the, who was the mother?

Kaetlyn: Meagan

Anastasia: Yeah, ok

Kaetlyn: Yeah, the first person I felt connected to on the tour was Meagan, and we used to go shopping together, so that was a big thing.

Anastasia: I would think that Jo Rochette would be quite motherly as well.

Kaetlyn: I feel like it too, but I was so much younger than her, and.. we didn't know each other really. Actually, fun story, I used to skate with Joannie when I was like 8 years old, and I feel like she doesn’t remember that. (laughs) But there was like a month that we actually trained together. As I’ve gotten, I’ve talked to her more recently, and she’s always very nice and very motherly, but when I was actually on the tour, I think I was too scared of everyone, so I just hung out with Meagan.

31 Days of Figure Skating: Day 4 - A Skating Program that Makes You Cry

This could honestly be any number of programs that made my cry when I first saw them and for a while after, but a lot of the time the emotional effect of a program wears off over time and doesn’t make me cry anymore. But, one set of programs that consistently make me tear up (and I can’t pick just one because it’s the whole situation that makes me cry) are Joannie Rochette’s programs from the Vancouver Olympics:
