2025 Canadian National Skating Championships - Laval, QC - 14-19 January 2025

This is where we discuss figure skating and skating related items. How did you favourite skaters perform, and so on? However we never speculate on the private lives of skaters, like who might be going out with whom, because that is poison and is not tolerated here. A good guideline is that if it's not publicly announced, in the papers etc. then it's probably best to leave it alone. Is it a gray area? Then write to me and ask.

There have been technical difficulties with the live streams of the Jr Women SP - both DailyMotion and CBC are currently offline after the completion of the first 2 groups. As of 5:45 p.m. the 3rd group is warming up and being shown on both streams. I understand that the Internet went out in the arena :(

Even after they got it back, the commentators who were not in the arena did not have access to the scoring system as they normally do (and had had earlier in the day). We had video and commentary but not tied to the scores/downgrades, etc.

A very exciting Sr. Women SP today - there were more triple-triples successfully landed than in the Sr Men SP yesterday :o

The top 3
1️⃣ - Madeline Schizas | ON
Image
2️⃣ - Katherine Medland Spence | ON
Image
3️⃣ - Sara-Maude Dupuis | QC
Image
Protocols: https://t.co/figfdYwfkj

A great skate by Maddie - she obviously loves this program! The scores are all quite close below the top 3 and there could be some movement after the free skate.

What an amazing program by Maddie. I guess a lot of people contacted Ted about his phopha about her winning the Nationals last year when it was Kaila eh? lol

I'm looking forward to the Men's but I feel like the wind is out of the sails a bit with 2 top skaters not being able to attend. Wesley is sure missed and it's too bad he is off with injury.

Just a question here...I click on the link for the event, but there is no countdown which means it starts right away. Then there are 2 commericals and I'm missing the first minute. Does this happen to others too? I'm going to try the CBC Gem link this time and see if it makes any difference. Thanks for all the info.

I have mostly been watching on DailyMotion which includes some extra content not re-streamed by CBC.

The CBC player stream always opens with a couple of commercials, even if you try to get into it sometime after the start.

The Sr Men's field was depleted even further today by the withdrawal of Aleksa Rakic before the FS. He has been ill with a respiratory virus and was struggling yesterday.

The medalllists
🥇 - Roman Sadovsky | ON
Image
🥈 - Anthony Paradis | QC
Image
🥉 - David Li | BC/YK
Image

Protocols: https://t.co/R9lLzwvuCk

The bronze medallist was a big surprise. 17yo. David Li was 10th at Winter Youth Olympics last year. He was second in Canada at Jr level last year. He had two JGP this past season, 7th and 8th. His highest international score is 177.03. Today he had 197.99!

Grayson Long, who finished 4th, had a fractured ankle in October and was off the ice for 5 weeks. He was 7th in Jr at Canadians last year.

The medallists
🥇 - Deanna Stellato-Dudek & Maxime Deschamps | QC
Image Image
🥈 - Lia Pereira & Trennt Michaud | ON
Image
🥉 - Kelly Ann Laurin & Loucas Éthier | QC

Pereira & Michaud actually won the free skate but Stellato & Deschamps had enough carryover from the SP to win the gold.
