ISU Grand Prix of Figure Skating 18/19 Internationaux De France, Day Two
November 24, 2018 Lausanne, SUI ISU Grand Prix of Figure Skating 18/19 Internationaux de France, Day Two Favorites Gabriella Papadakis/Guillaume Cizeron (FRA), Nathan Chen (USA) and Vanessa James/Morgan Cipres (FRA) prevailed as competition wrapped up at the Internationaux de France in Grenoble Saturday with the Free Skating and Free Dance. Five skaters grabbed the last available spots for the ISU Grand Prix of Figure Skating Final. The Internationaux de France was the sixth and last event of the ISU Grand Prix of Figure Skating Series 2018/19. Nathan Chen (USA) rebounds to grab the gold in Grenoble World Champion Nathan Chen (USA) rebounded after a sub-par Short Program to take the gold. Jason Brown (USA) claimed the silver and the bronze went to Russia’s Alexander Samarin. Chen reeled off a quadruple flip, quadruple toe, another quad toe (in combination with an underrotated triple toe) as well as a triple Axel and four triples jumps in his program to “Land of All” by Woodkid. The American picked up a level four for his spins and a level three for his footwork to score 184.64 points. The U.S. Champion totaled 271.58 to win his second Grand Prix gold medal and qualify for the ISU Grand Prix of Figure Skating Final. “I’m pretty happy with my performance of the long program, definitely more satisfied with the long than with the short,” the 19-year-old Yale student said. “I’m looking forward to continuing to develop the program and develop the technical side of the program.” Skating to a Simon and Garfunkel Medley, Brown produced four clean triples, including an Axel and exquisite spins.

New Zealand Ice Figure Skating Association May 2017 Newsletter
NEW ZEALAND ICE FIGURE SKATING ASSOCIATION MAY 2017 NEWSLETTER REPORTS FROM THE RECENT DEVELOPMENT CAMPS A big thank you to First Sovereign Trust Limited for their funding towards ice time for both The Pre-Elementary to Juvenile camp in Auckland and the Juvenile to Senior camp in Dunedin. NZIFSA Pre-Elementary to Juvenile Singles Camp, Auckland 21-23 April From all accounts, this was a very successful camp. It was attended by 14 skaters and 5 coaches, and moderated by our own Debbie Darvill and Marina Tsevina. The following is some feedback from two of the skaters at that camp “I really enjoyed the camp with Marina and Debbie. I learnt a lot and had heaps of fun. The off-ice was quite hard and it would have been good to spend time with both coaches so I could learn skills from both of them. I would go to another ice skating camp with them”. Caitlyn Rae “While higher level skaters were heading off for Dunedin camp, we had a 3-day camp with Debbie and Marina in Auckland. It is really good to meet other coaches and skaters. On ice, we focused on improving stroking and single jumps. I enjoyed more of off-ice training which I learned many ways to improve fitness to be prepared for on-ice performance. I also got a billeted buddy from Alexandra. We had fun together and I learned they only have 2-3 months of ice time each year. I feel so lucky we have indoor rinks for all year round. I wish we have camps every school holiday.” Blake Barraclough 1 NZIFSA Juvenile to Senior Camp, Dunedin 24-28 April This camp was moderated by the wonderful Manon Perron from Canada and attended by 46 skaters and 12 coaches.
