NearPup 2,095 Posted January 8, 2022 #33 Share Posted January 8, 2022 Canadian Nationals, day 1 (Short program / rhythm dance) Men's Single (2 quotas available) Keegan Messing (84.38) Wesley Chiu (81.47) Joseph Phan (78.14) Roman Sadovsky (77.17) Corey Circelli (76.64) Bennet Toman (72.83) Nam Nguyen (71.27) Women's Single (1 quota available) Madeline Schizas (72.05) Véronik Mallet (59.35) Gabrielle Daleman (58.48) Michelle Long (57.14) Emily Bausback (56.82) Alison Schumacher (56.38) Katherine Medland-Spence (55.74) Pairs (2 quotas available) Kirsten Moore-Towers / Michael Marinaro (73.02) Evelyn Walsh / Trennt Michaud (66.88) Deanna Stellato-Dudek / Maxime Deschamps (63.54) (AFAIK Stellato-Dudek does not have Canadian citizenship) Vanessa James / Eric Radford (63.33) Lori-Ann Matte / Thierry Ferland (60.13) Patricia Andrew / Steven Adcock (56.37) Kelly Ann Laurin / Loucas Éthier (49.93) Ice Dance (3 quotas available) Piper Gilles / Paul Poirier (86.98) Laurence Fournier-Beaudry / Nikolaj Sørensen (81.04) Marjorie Lajoie / Zachary Lagha (76.67) Carolane Soucisse / Shane Firus (72.55) Marie-Jade Lauriault / Romain Le Gac (71.29) Haley Sales / Nikolas Wamsteeker (70.00) Molly Lanaghan / Dmitre Razgulajevs (67.51) Very close battles for the second spots in the men's single and the pairs event (and Messing is far from certain from being in the top two). Biggest dissapointment of the day was Nguyen, who is retiring at the end of the season. He had a really bad fall on his 3A which completly ruined his program. Very happy that Fournier-Beaudry / Sørensen, formerly of , will very likely finally make their Olympic debut. Also worth noting that Lauriault / Le Gac competed for at the 2018 Olympics. maestro 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NearPup 2,095 Posted January 8, 2022 #36 Share Posted January 8, 2022 US Nationals, women's single Mariah Bell, at the ripe old age of 25, won her first senior nationals. She is the oldest women to win in 95 years, and in all likelihood she will be the oldest American women to compete in women's single at the Olympics since 1928. Again, at the ancient age of 25. Karen Chen finished second and is also virtually guaranteed a spot at the Olympics. Isabeau Levito finished third, but is not age eligible for the Olympics. Gabriella Izzo, in fourth, is the third highest ranked age-eligible competitor. The last spot on the Olympic team will likely come down to her or Alysa Liu. maestro 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
