Hey @JoannaLouise Ted Barton just said "It's really cold in here". The codewords!!

 

[victorskid]

They are having some problems with the sound in the intro - Ted couldn't hear the Synchro commentator who is at home in Montreal and then Ted's sound disappeared momentarily. Hope they get it sorted during the video

OMG HI TED!!!

 

[overedge]

Nova team wearing a colour I can't even go near because it makes me look dead

 

[overedge]

Highs and lows of the human experience, a nice modest theme for a program....

 

[Rukia]

This audience is very excited good for them

 

[marbri]

This audience is very excited good for them

That's just your average synchro audience
Synchro comps are a vibe.

 

[overedge]

Holy s*** that was impressive. Some of those lifts and spins were better than some of the senior pairs.

 

[JoannaLouise]

I went to the synchro events at nationals last year, and really enjoyed it. I should start watching more often. (I'm also appreciating the commentary, because I had absolutely no clue what was going on when I watched it in person!)

 

[overedge]

Doing a backward lift blindly and hoping the three people that are supposed to catch you are where they're supposed to be

 

[overedge]

Wow, synchro skaters must have to be as brave as pairs skaters. Some of these moves are wild.

 

[marbri]

Not the typical performance I look forward to from Nexxice.

 

[Alilou]

Synchro audiences are always like this - just wild. I went to Synchro nationals years back and was blown away by the energy in the building. LOUD!

 

[JoannaLouise]

Wow, Nexxice behind Nova. I don't know much about synchro rankings, but I'm pretty sure that's a big upset!

 

[overedge]

Journeys!!!

 

[Rukia]

lollllll at the theme being Mt Everest then having the music say "I'm climbing" then oh lord you know I'm tired

 

[JoannaLouise]

That was my favourite performance out of the 3 teams we saw. The opening pose was so cool!

 

[overedge]

OMG that was so amazing. I haven't seen high level synchro in a while but damn, we have some good teams in Canada!

 

[marbri]

Wow, Nexxice behind Nova. I don't know much about synchro rankings, but I'm pretty sure that's a big upset!

Not the first time that has happened (although maybe a different team). I think another time that happened they used some competitions that come up in the next few months before deciding who goes to worlds. They lost a few levels here and there were two falls as well.

Les Supremes have an interesting program. Really liked what I saw through all the really bad camerawork. Synchro is best watched straight on, not from a diagonal as the blocks and lines look messier.

The results, as announced:
Les Suprêmes QC FS 141.99 Total 216.79
Nova QC FS 142.16 Total 213.97
NEXXICE ON FS 133.71 Total 205.95

 

[marbri]

So Nova won the free.

 

[victorskid]

Yes, but Les Supremes won the overall.

[overedge]

So glad this was included in the livestream - it was great!!

 

[JoannaLouise]

So Nova won the free.

Now that's a big upset, right?

 

[marbri]

Yes, but Les Supremes won the overall.

I know, I was just commenting on the free

 

[Rukia]

ok I know I know nothing about synchro but I'm surprised les supremes got 2nd in the free? I thought they looked much stronger as skaters than the other two teams.

According to the protocols (link posted above), Nova was ahead on the TES but behind on the PCS.

 

[marbri]

Now that's a big upset, right?

Not really.
It's more interesting to watch the teams in the competition season coming up. I find Nexxice and Les Supremes really step it up a notch as the season progresses.

But I also haven't been following synchro a lot in recent years so I don't know what the turnover is for these teams, how many new members are in each etc... I did notice they said Jeremy Abbott choreographed Nexxice short program which I thought was interesting. I wonder who choreographed the free? It didn't really pull me in the way they typically do.
