And finally the mystery is solved - the French commentators were Laurence Darveau and Elisabeth Paradis. (I'm sure they introduced themselves at the beginning, but I didn't start watching the French stream until after the English one crashed.)

 

[shutterbug]

@shutterbug I hope you're there to cheer for all the MB skaters! Did you bring stuffies for them?

I was! Stuffies tomorrow.

For those watching European Men SP instead of the Jr Men FS - Herman Lau withdrew from the FS; he was to skate first.

 

[puglover]

I am quite liking the commentators. KMT sounds as adorable as she looks and she and Kaitlyn W. were great together for pairs and dance. Kaetlyn O. is great with Ted. I am missing Kevin R. but he is busy all week as a technical specialist.

 

[JoannaLouise]

I'm at the office today, so I won't be able to watch at all this afternoon

I've been watching Euros since sometime after 6 a.m. but have a little window open keeping an eye on the CDN Jr Men

 

[victorskid]

After the Jr Men FS was completed, with some changes in position as we anticipated, we have moved to the Jr Synchro SP.

You can say that again.

[JoannaLouise]

I got home from work just in time to see Kemp/Elizarov, so that was good timing! (And then I'll have to go out again right after the next segment starts...)

I'm looking forward to watching the men later - I didn't look at the spoiler, but it sounds like it might have been a bit of a wild ride!

Medal ceremonies (Pairs & Men) before the next event - the Jr. Women FS.

 

[victorskid]

Ted Barton just commented (on the Jr Women FS broadcast) that he was "mad at" Kevin Reynolds who is doing Technical Specialist duties this week. Apparently Ted wasn't supposed to be part of the broadcast - it was supposed to be Kevin working with Kaetlyn for the Men and Women but then Kevin got the TS spot. I'm not sure if that was just for the Junior broadcasts or for both.

The start order for the Jr. Women FS - 3 groups of 6:
1 Calissa Adlem BC/YK
2 Alessia Taddeo QC
3 Emily Sales BC/YK
4 Natasha Hewitt ON
5 Ashley Dinh ON
6 Kassidy Sinclair AB/NT/NU
7 Valeria Veprjitska ON
8 Gabrielle Jugnauth BC/YK
9 Michelle Lee ON
10 Kara Yun BC/YK
11 Mély-Ann Gagner QC
12 Mégane Vallières QC
13 Lucille Yang ON
14 Stavrina Aranitis QC
15 Reese Rose ON
16 Lulu Lin ON
17 Aleksa Volkova QC
18 Megan Woodley ON

Not a great junior women's free competition so far. Adlem is leading after the first group after skating first.

 

[victorskid]

Ice resurfacing underway.

Hmm the video went black and all three streams and giving me the error message "Unexpected error. This video can't be displayed right now sorry"

Now it says "This live stream isn't available right now"

Hope they're doing a "reboot"!!

 

[danafan]

The english feed is back just as Veprjitska finished her program.

 

[danafan]

Gagner had a pretty good skate. A few mistakes, she didn't seem that happy but she was very happy with her score. Ted and Kaetlyn are very high on her with their commentary.

 

[danafan]

Vallières had a couple of hard falls but she did a lot of elements really well.

 

[victorskid]

[JoannaLouise]

Phew, I'm back just in time for the last group!

 

[danafan]

Yang started off so well, three really strong jumping passes but later she had three hard falls. A promising skater.

 

[JoannaLouise]

Lucille Yang got off to a great start, but then had several hard falls and just really didn't have the momentum or stamina to get through the 2nd half of the program.

 

[Wyliefan]

That's a nice piece that Stavrina's skating to.

 

[JoannaLouise]

I wonder if Stravina Aranitis intended that first combo to be 2a-1eu-3s instead of a 1a? I do appreciate a well-done Euler though.

I love her speed and power, and the way that she doesn't hesitate when she approaches her jumps. (Of course she doubled a salchow as I was typing that, but I stand by it. )

Anyways, I think I have a new favourite!

 

[danafan]

Aranitis had some quality jumps in that program. Some high GOEs

 

[Wyliefan]

I wonder if Stravina Aranitis intended that first combo to be 2a-1eu-3s instead of a 1a? I do appreciate a well-done Euler though.

I had the same thought. It reminded me of when pairs skaters used to do little jumps across the ice.

 

[danafan]

Oh the top two are so close. Nice to see a happy skater in the kiss and cry. I'm looking forward to seeing more of Aranitis in the future.

 

[JoannaLouise]

Reese Rose is another powerful skater. Her jumps are sometimes a bit wild and off-axis though. She reminds me of Gabby Daleman in that way; she needs to learn to control that power a bit more.
