Good results for the Canadian team so far.

The ladies have completed their portion of the event - the intrepid young CDN lady "bounced back" remarkably well, moving up one spot in the final standings: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1U3soWidViE

By comparison, this was Kaiya's free skate at the recent BC summer event: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=phijb9IdmGU

If you watch/watched any more of the live stream/videos you would have seen some additional "Canadian content" - the young lady representing Poland trains at the Cricket Club and Brian Orser was at the boards along with another of the TC&CC coaches

The event is over and there were no medals today for Canada

The overall results for the men: http://www.isuresults.com/results/seaso ... T001RS.htm

The overall results in the ice dance event: http://www.isuresults.com/results/seaso ... T003RS.htm

The FD protocols: http://www.isuresults.com/results/seaso ... Skater.pdf

Despite being in contention after the rhythm dance, our dance teams seem to continue to find themselves narrowly in 4th and just off the podium: Emmy and Aissa missing bronze by 0.29; Miku and Tyler by 0.37; and here Bruce and Natalie by 0.67

In case you missed it, Ted Barton's interview with Kaiya Ruiter in Riga: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j81oM2wVoRs

This young lady has impressed a lot of folks already and is someone to keep an eye on for the future

OOPS!! Prior to the draw for the SP of the Men at event #4 it was determined that one of the competitors, who also competed at event #3, was actually not eligible to compete!!

Lev Vinokur, age 13, represented ISR in Riga and finished 7th - his results are now being "expunged", apparently. He had previously competed for RUS and won silver in the Advanced Novice category at the Aspen Cup in November 2018 under their flag. That means he cannot compete representing ISR until a full year has passed.

I presume the Russian Federation filed an objection.

If it is still "up", you might enjoy watching one of his performances (and Ted Barton's comments) - here's his free skate: https://youtu.be/zCHCRqWmUcs
