Canadian nats 2007, hey!

I wanted Laur to start the topic, but she didn't and it is time, already! So I really hope Lanochka won't be offended if I start this

Official page with the Athlete profiles and other info

An article about the event I don't like their podium picks, but ok, it's their own opinion.

Good luck for Jess & Bryce!!

I'm sorry !!! I was going to start our topic last night, but I had to studying. :study: But you started it, Lerochka!!!! Thannnk youuuu, darling!!!!!!

They.think.Jess.and.Bryce.will.get.third?! No. It will not be so.



Qualifiers happened on Tuesday!!!! However, the top 12 skaters from last year were not required to do qualifiers. Buuuut... Vaughn Chipeur, who I absolutely love, is in first!!!!!! Bryce only qualified in 7th for Men's. Cynthia Phaneuf won the qualifier, too. I really hope she does well, because she's been very injured.

Yay for Canadian Nats!!!! I.am.so.excited.

Why would I be angry with you, sestrichka? It's not possible!!! I don't want to study, either. I am so bored with it. It is the morning here, so I'm taking a little study break. In the evening, I will probably not be here. But, I shall try to be here for Nats & Euros!!!! We must cheers for our skaters together, sestrichka!!!!

Uh oh. I meant to type third. I must go change that. hehe. Well, Jess & Bryce were injured so no one has seen them all season... But, we still have faith in them, right Lerchik? They must make the World team. All they need is a placement in the top 3. Sooo... it will be okay, I think. But those people predicted Jean and Utako to be in 2nd? Erm... I don't think so.

hmm... Not so good, either. But, that's okay! All that matters is how Bryce does in Pairs.

Pairs SP is only tomorrow ! Go Jess & Bryce !!!

I believe in them! They can have the title and not just the 3rd place
I'm more worried by Langlois/Hay than Jean and Utako .

But as Lana said, a place in the podium will be okay for Jess & bryce

I found photos of their practice:

Bryce is competiting in men too ? I didn't know that. But why ? Because if he's qualified for international championships, will be able to compete as a pair with Jess and as a single ?

Jess & Bryce both skated as single last year: Jess was 8th and Bryce 15th. They're a bit far from the podium and a place in an international Championship! I think they're skating as single just for fun.

I didn't see jess in the Qr this year Maybe because she was injuried

Ok, I didn't know their level in singles. So, no problem for them in international championships, they're going only as a pair.
Thank you Rosee !

And I wish them good luck because I know that you, Lana and Val like them a lot !

Yes, I like them a loooooot!!!


I've just noticed that Jessica was 8 last year so in the top 12 and she don't have to do qualifiers .

I'm not very worried about Anabelle and Cody. Anabelle has a long history of falling apart at Nationals. Sort of mean to say... But true!

Thank youuuuu, Rosee!!!!!! Where did you find these? They are absolutely lovely. If you see some more photos, please, please post them! It's so wonderful to see Jess & Bryce, again.

Yup. That's the reason.

These are the skaters that didn't have to do qualifiers

Quote :

women: Joannie Rochette, Mira Leung, Lesley Hawker, Meagan Duhamel, Amélie Lacoste, Tanika Gibbons, Erin Scherrer, Jessica Dubé, Kristen Walker, Signe Ronka, Myriane Samson, Ashton Tessier

men: Jeff Buttle, Emanuel Sandhu, Shawn Sawyer, Christopher Mabee, Nicholas Young, Marc-André Craig, Patrick Chan, Ben Ferreira, Kevin Reynolds. Keegan Murphy, Ken Rose, and Hugh Yik

Here are some photos of Bryce skating solo for Qualifiers! His costume is somewhat disappointing to me. Last year, it was black with this huge blue "paint spot" on it. It was the most awesome thing. Me and Jenn saw it at Nats in the SP, last year. I should go find a picture. Ohhh!! And apparently, Bryce got a new Personal Best in Quals... So, I take back what I said before.







All photos are from Skate Today and are by Brett Barden!!!

Isn't it great, Rosee? They completely deserve to be in first!!! Jess & Bryce were just fab, last night!!!!! The only mistake was that Jess put her hand down on the triple jump (salchow, i think). But, otherwise, perfect!!!

Val & Craig weren't that good. He messed up on the death spirl. Annnd... Val fell on the throw. I felt bad for them, but.I.don't.want.them.to.win. And Craig was really annoyed in the interview. Blah.

I wanted to write more... But, I must go to class.
Lerochka, your finger crossing worked!!!!!!!

Here's a photo from the SP!!!

Yes! It's great! I've seen their new SP and I love it ! They've improve so much especially in transitions .

really? What did he said ?
M&B have a higher score than Jess & Bryce in the PCS

Jess & Bryce's SP!!!!!

I'll post some more stuff later!

It's gorgeous!!!!! I like it even more than their SP from last year. Everything about it is just fabulous!!! And the costumes!!! Did you like them, Rosee? I loved the way Bryce had his shirt collar and Jess' dress was stunning!!!! Wheeeeeee!!!!!!! And I agree completely, they.were.so.improved. It was amazing!!! I thought that even their double twist was higher! Apparently, they've been working with Jamie Salé and David Pelletier. It seems to have been a really goooood idea!

Erm... I'll try to upload M&B's interview later. It wasn't really what Craig said during his interview that was bad... He was just acting like he was extremely annoyed... glaring at the camera, tone of voice... It just wasn't pleasant. I hope Jess & Bryce beat them in the FP.

Have you seen M&Bs SP, Rosee? Anyhow, the difference in PCS marks... I'm not very surprised...

I loved the costumes too , the collar , the colours : Black suit them!!! And the flower in jess' hair
I've seen the fluff and i think It was a very good idea to work with jamie & David

I've seen the interview (but not M&b's SP) and you're right but anyway with or without his atitude I hope Jess & Bryce beat them
