Fred's, (Used to be Barb's), Board

This event has seen an "up tick" in entries this year due to the cancellation of a previous Challenger Series event (the Nepala Memorial) in SVK. I understand the originally planned schedule of competition has been expanded to deal with the extra entries.

The list of entries by discipline, including alternates, has now been posted here: https://results.isu.org/events/fsevent00110970.htm
There is Canadian representation in each discipline.

The latest entries (and alternates), by discipline, are here: https://results.isu.org/events/fsevent00110970.htm
Canada has entries in all four disciplines.

I understand the type of dancing with all the quick, synchronized hand movements is called waacking

"After the waack!"

A single young Russian woman broke three world records today in winning the gold medal:
