00:00:34 Welcome back everyone to Calgary, Alberta, the National Skating Championships.
00:00:39 I'm Ted Bardalung with Caitlin Osmond.
00:00:41 The women's free program coming up. Of course, we've watched the men finish their competition in the pairs
00:00:46 and also the Sync Pro Junior Short Program has happened, but now it's the big event for the women.
00:00:52 It is a big event for the women and yesterday in the Short Program, they didn't demonstrate their talent all that much,
00:00:59 but it is a really strong field of women and the gap in the leading it going into the free program is so miniscule
00:01:07 that really anything can happen. We have Megan Woodley in first place at 59 points,
00:01:13 followed by Alexa Volkova at 57 points and then again Lulu Lin in third at 56.
00:01:20 So, very small and only 10 points separate first and sixth.
00:01:25 There can be movement even onto the podium if they have some good skates. It's just unpredictable.
00:01:30 We don't know what we're going to see, but you watched the practice sessions a little earlier today.
00:01:34 I did watch the practice sessions. They looked really strong. A lot of great skating.
00:01:37 There were still slip-ups, so we'll see how those translate into the competition today,
00:01:42 but I had a great conversation with Yvonne Desjardins, the coach of four of the women here competing,
00:01:47 and he made a really great comment that a lot of these women are trying to get onto the next-gen team.
00:01:52 We have seven of the athletes already on the next-gen team, and they're really excited to get that call,
00:01:57 but then they feel pressured from it because they want to prove themselves and they want to show
00:02:01 that there's a reason why they're on the next-gen team and they want to stay on it.
00:02:05 So, they feel that pressure a little bit, which is a learning process because you're going to have that pressure when you turn senior.
00:02:09 No, it's a good point, and it's good that they've got that because they're working towards it.
00:02:13 You have to work towards the junior world team, the world team itself, the Olympic team.
00:02:17 It's a part of this game. It really is. It's a skill that you have to learn to skate and to perform and to compete under pressure.
00:02:24 Well, coming up in just a few moments is going to be 18 women battling it out, hopefully for some personal best,
00:02:30 perhaps for a chance to represent Canada at the Junior World Championships.
00:02:35 The Junior Women's Free Program starts right now.

00:35:04 [APPLAUSE]
00:35:08 Well good for Emily to keep a smile on her face at the end of that program.
00:35:13 She's such a performer, very into the character of La La Land and that happy go lucky feel.
00:35:19 But unfortunately those jumping passes didn't work today.
00:35:23 And with the simpler tech program she needed to get those done.
00:35:28 And even the simpler tech just didn't quite work out.
00:35:31 She's always been a wonderful program skater, always good vehicles given by Karen and Jason.
00:35:35 And you can see that passion for performance.
00:35:40 And she's been able to do them very quickly at sport and she's taken a little bit of a downturn on some of the triples.
00:35:45 She's been able to do them in the past, the toe, the side of the loop, but they weren't here tonight.
00:35:49 And I've seen them done in practice. She had a great practice today.
00:35:52 But with the extra nerves and adrenaline and desire to get that done in competition, it's harder.
00:36:00 And then here is a look at that beginning triple toe.
00:36:04 Not quite snapping into the rotation quick enough.
00:36:09 And then on that double axel, very good on the first double axel, double toe.
00:36:13 You see that smile, her posture, her stretch.
00:36:18 The attention to those details are very strong.
00:36:22 It's part of her choreography sequence.
00:36:25 Going into the second triple toe, you see her take a nice deep breath.
00:36:31 You see she's probably fighting for the energy there.
00:36:36 And then again on that double axel, plan double axel, popping it into, well, even a waltz jump.
00:36:42 Yeah, it looks like she's lost confidence in those jumps for a bit and just was frustrated or frustrating, of course.
00:36:50 And of course, you know, when things aren't feeling quite right, there's a look at a double flip, double toe at the end of the program.
00:36:56 But when you're when you're feeling not quite right on those first jumping passes, you start overthinking, you start wanting to overcorrect.
00:37:03 And then you want to get it done even more, which is tough.
00:37:07 Again, the spins, level four combination spin.
00:37:14 Nope, I'm looking at the wrong skater.
00:37:16 Level four on the flying combination spins.
00:37:21 I wasn't wrong in saying that.
00:37:23 Level three flying set, level three combination spin.
00:37:27 And of course, the choreography sequence doesn't have a level.
00:37:31 Everything is based on a level one, but you're looking to boost the GOE, grade of execution on on that choreography sequence.
00:37:40 It just didn't have quite the program, just didn't have quite the energy that she normally brings to.
00:37:46 But it's still good. It's still a good program, but not quite the delight and passion and energy.
00:37:54 Well, the delight and passion and energy comes when you start landing the jumps too.
00:37:59 The more you land the elements and get the job done, it fuels you for the rest of the program.
00:38:04 Imagine putting in all the effort, then it not work and then it's deflating.
00:38:12 And I know I believe her sister, Ashley, is probably on the cruise ship with it, watching this.
00:38:18 Watching her sister from afar and we'll watch Haley.
00:38:21 We could watch on a cruise ship.
00:38:23 Can we do our broadcast from there?
00:38:25 Talk to Steve.
00:38:27 He said he'll be on the boat.
00:38:30 Perfect.
00:38:32 Not boat, cruise ship.
00:38:34 Full side broadcast next year.
00:38:37 Three program scores for Emily Sayles.
00:38:45 67.07, that is third in the free program with a total competition score of 107.86.
00:38:51 That'll put Emily into third place.
00:38:54 What did I get at section?
00:38:56 I love Emily's personality because even though she's disappointed, she's still a cheerful, happy person.
00:39:09 And we'll put that in perspective for sure.
00:39:12 Natasha Hewitt, 15 years old, grade 8 student from Ontario, out of the Toronto Cricket, Skating and Curling Club,
00:39:19 coached by Karen Preston, Tracy Wilson, Jory Russell, choreographed the free program, Skating the Sleeping Beauty.

00:50:44 >> And the rush to finish, right on the music.
00:50:47 At the end of that lay back.
00:50:48 >> Yeah.
00:50:49 >> It was just a little bit late, and I love the rush to finish.
00:50:53 But overall, a shaky skate for Ashley, but overall good.
00:50:59 She's had a really big growth spurt, trying to readjust to her body.
00:51:04 She's a very shy and quiet skater.
00:51:07 And just trying to find the motivation.
00:51:11 She's landed these jumps.
00:51:12 She can land the triple sash.
00:51:13 She can land double axel.
00:51:15 I've seen her land triple lutz.
00:51:17 You can see the elements are there.
00:51:19 It's just trying to find out how to do them.
00:51:21 >> Yeah.
00:51:23 >> With longer legs.
00:51:24 >> Yeah, exactly.
00:51:25 And this is just normal.
00:51:27 Humans growing up, you know.
00:51:29 So you have to adapt.
00:51:30 This is a very physical sport.
00:51:35 >> Very, very focused right off the start.
00:51:37 When she's doing the choreography, she does have beautiful lines,
00:51:41 really stretching out her fingertips.
00:51:43 This year, I know she's still a very quiet skater,
00:51:46 but this is the most I've seen her actually perform.
00:51:49 There's a little bit more sneaking in there.
00:51:51 So you can see the works trying to get put in there.
00:51:54 There's a look at the triple toe Euler double sow off the top of the program.
00:52:00 Right off the top of the program, second.
00:52:04 And then again, this triple sow, this was a planned triple sow double axel,
00:52:08 which later on in the program was just too outside the circle.
00:52:11 And then again here, the jump took off fine,
00:52:15 but almost over rotated that double toe at the end.
00:52:18 >> Very quick in the air, so that's good.
00:52:20 And when she lifts up nice and high, can, you know, make her over rotate a little bit
00:52:25 and have to fight for the landing.
00:52:27 But the skills there.
00:52:28 >> The skills are there.
00:52:30 Now it's just refining them and learning how to get them back and get them stronger.
00:52:35 And that's the best thing about skating is that if you've had the jump before and lose it,
00:52:40 when you relearn it, it's going to be relearned stronger.
00:52:43 >> And repetition, so important.
00:52:46 Muscle memory.
00:52:47 >> Yeah.
00:52:48 >> Let's keep that in perspective.
00:52:50 [ Music ]
00:52:58 >> And proud.
00:52:59 Of course, everybody has different goals.
00:53:01 She was 18th at challenge coming into this competition, just squeaked in,
00:53:05 and here she is really trying to get out in competition more.
00:53:11 >> Yeah, I mean, at the age of 13, this journey is learning.
00:53:15 I mean, not only at that age.
00:53:17 All these juniors are learning and gaining experience.
00:53:20 Take a look at the score, 76.62.
00:53:23 The free program that is third so far with a 118.32 total score for the competition.
00:53:29 That will put Ashley in currently into third place overall at this stage of the competition.
00:53:34 [ Music ]
00:53:47 >> The final competitor in the first group from Alberta, Northwest Territory, Nunavut,
00:53:53 16-year-old Cassidy Sinclair from the Sherwood Park Figure Skating Club,
00:53:57 coached by Terry Gallant, choreographed in the free program by Joy Russell.
00:54:04 And she will skate to Fire Dance.

00:57:55 >> Representing Alberta.
00:57:57 >> Well, what a fantastic program for Cassidy.
00:58:00 Great short yesterday, really great long today at her very first national championships.
00:58:07 >> Really physically very strong.
00:58:08 You can see the takeoffs low in the knee, explodes off the ice.
00:58:12 Different bit of a rotation position, a little bit more square, but, you know,
00:58:17 kept the energy and the power throughout the program.
00:58:22 >> I think she used up all her energy with this walk to the Kiss and Cry.
00:58:26 It was a very exciting program.
00:58:28 I've heard from a number of people that she is a free program skater.
00:58:32 She is a fighter.
00:58:33 You can see that right in her face there.
00:58:34 She's ready to go.
00:58:36 Great music choice for her, really shows off her strength and her power.
00:58:45 Here's a look at that opening jump combination, her triple loop.
00:58:50 I would question that rotating under rotated.
00:58:53 >> It is downgraded in fact.
00:58:54 >> Downgraded fully.
00:58:56 And then again, going to this triple toe, double toe.
00:58:58 She does have a very high jumping technique, but you can see in the air, as Ted said,
00:59:05 she is very square, so that means she's not rotating over her right side,
00:59:09 which is her rotation and axis side.
00:59:12 I can't talk anymore.
00:59:14 And then popped into her triple sal there later on.
00:59:17 So it doesn't rotate as fast as it possibly could, which means she'll come down a little bit later.
00:59:23 >> Yeah, and you're going to be more landing on your hip if you're in that rotation position.
00:59:28 You're going to be more stable in the landing.
00:59:29 But she's so strong.
00:59:30 She's able to get the free leg back.
00:59:32 >> She's very strong, and it's something she's used to.
00:59:34 And, of course, she is working on the triple flip.
00:59:39 She's working on the triple lutz.
00:59:40 They're just not ready yet.
00:59:41 >> Yeah.
00:59:43 >> Great spin showing off her flexibility there at the end of the program.
00:59:49 >> You have flexibility in a spin like that, but you need a lot of strength too, right, to pull that leg up.
00:59:53 >> You need strength, and you need balance.
00:59:55 You need a lot of things.
00:59:56 Spins, a lot of people will take for granted, but I can tell you they are so much harder sometimes than jumping.
01:00:03 They require a lot more strength.
01:00:05 >> Yeah, the physics, like a Beelman.
01:00:07 I mean, that leg doesn't go by itself.
01:00:09 You grab it, and you pull it up, and you pull it forward over top of your head,
01:00:12 and that takes shoulder strength, arm strength, flexibility, of course.
01:00:17 >> It requires a lot.
01:00:18 And I can tell you, if you do three spins in a row, it's harder than a long program on its own.
01:00:23 >> Well, I know when the judges was being developed, they said strength and flexibility are two principles
01:00:28 that we will award to higher degree of difficulty, two features, if you will.
01:00:33 If a feature required more flexibility and strength, then that would qualify it as a feature.
01:00:39 So that was the premise.
01:00:41 It's changed.
01:00:42 >> They followed through with that.
01:00:45 Maybe a little, a lot, but it looks great.
01:00:51 >> Great job with Cassidy with her coach, Terry Galland.
01:00:55 Two years working together.
01:00:58 >> Free program score is 73.97 for Cassidy.
01:01:01 That is fourth in the free program with a total competition score of 116.07.
01:01:06 And also for the moment, at least we'll put her into fourth place.
01:01:10 [ Background Conversations ]
01:01:14 >> There is a look at the standings after the first six skaters.
01:01:18 Two groups to come, 12 more.
01:01:21 At the moment, we're going to take a short break during the ice resurfacing,

01:01:47 and the supply management system.
