00:27:11 Maya, Alyssa and Vanessa taking first, second and third. Congratulations to those ladies.
00:27:19 And again, if you're just tuning in, we are broadcasting live here from the Mike Austin Arena in Lewisport, Newfoundland with the 2024 Newfoundland Labrador Winter Games here with Rogers.
00:27:34 And for those of you tuning in today, we have had some technical difficulties through today with our internet speed here in Lewisport.
00:27:42 So thanks for bearing with us. We're doing the best we can.
00:27:47 The internet speed, not what we'd like it to be at times, but we're managing to get through it as best we can. So thanks for tuning in with us.
00:28:01 Warming up on the ice right now is our juvenile women. This is the juvenile women free program. We've got six skaters on the ice for their warm up.
00:28:11 We've got Kiera Locke, Kenley Hoskins, Lila Donovan, Madeline Monroe, Jordan Benoit and Allie Ryan.
00:28:24 And they're usually given a five or six minute warm up. Chance to get it on the ice.
00:28:31 Get some of the kinks out, relax some of the muscles, go over some of the elements that are part of their program. It's like a final practice run for them.
00:28:47 A lot of the times they can converse some back and forth with their coaches at the end of the boards down here.
00:28:54 They just decide on what's going good, what's not going so good.
00:28:57 Might be a final decision to either pull some things from their program that's just not going that well for them.
00:29:05 And this is the juvenile program.
00:29:16 They get judged on their jump elements, their spin elements.
00:29:20 They're allowed a maximum of five jump elements and a maximum of two spin elements.
00:29:26 So there's two pieces. There's the presentation and there's also the skating skills.
00:29:35 So presentation plays a big role in these skating competitions.
00:29:42 Think about, they gotta have the skills but they also gotta have good presence on the ice, good presentation skills.
00:29:48 That's how they transition from element to element. Their ice coverage.
00:29:55 Using as much of the ice surface as possible.
00:29:59 Always having a smile. That certainly helps.
00:30:07 Our first skater in this group is going to be Kiara Locke.
00:30:10 She's going to be representing the Mount Pearl Paradise Skating Club.
00:30:14 Again, all these skaters have put in a lot of time, a lot of practice on ice and on ice and on ice.
00:30:34 To prepare for these competitions.
00:30:37 But all these skaters, they devote a lot of time throughout the week.
00:30:53 Many hours practicing some early mornings at times in order to get the ice time before school, after school.
00:31:02 Practicing their programs, their elements.
00:31:06 It's just a sign of their dedication to the sport of figure skating.
00:31:15 And of course, most importantly, they enjoy it.
00:31:25 They love getting out on the ice and performing and developing the figure skating skills that's required for this.

00:40:03 She also plays hockey with the girls, CBR Renegades,
00:40:07 and is on the Frank Roberts Junior High Ravens Girls Hockey Team. Fantastic.
00:40:12 Her personal best score for the program that she skated today has been 28.04 points.
00:40:22 And we'll wait to see what the judging results of today's program is.
00:40:26 Again, it's not always about placing on the podium.
00:40:30 Sometimes it's just nice to get a personal best score.
00:40:33 And Kenley just waiting in our kiss and cry section at the end of our stadium.
00:40:46 She's waiting for catching her breath.
00:40:49 She's waiting for something to quench her thirst.
00:40:53 It's a short program, but they put everything out on the ice.
00:40:57 It takes a lot of energy to go through that two and a half minutes.
00:41:00 And they give it everything they got.
00:41:03 The scores for Kenley Hoskins.
00:41:07 She has earned 27.68 points, which puts her currently in second place.
00:41:13 She's happy with that. Fantastic.
00:41:17 And our next skater waiting to get called out is Lila Donovan.
00:41:27 Lila Donovan?
00:41:29 And she represents the Mount Pearl Park.
00:41:32 Our next skater represents St. John's North Zone.
00:41:35 Please welcome to the ice, Lila Donovan.

00:44:45 Ashley Bishop, Brittany Morgan, and McKenna Mercer.

00:45:05 She also qualified for the Atlantic Canadian Skating Championships taking place in Dartmouth, Nova Scotia.
00:45:11 And looks forward to the event this April.
00:45:14 Lila is also a competitive soccer player.
00:45:18 She's a Provincial Under 14 and Mount Pearl Tier 1 Under 15 soccer team.
00:45:21 She's excited to travel with the Provincial team this summer and represent Newfoundland and Labrador.
00:45:26 She hopes to be named to the 2024 Newfoundland-Labrador Summer Games.
00:45:30 Soccer team roaster as well. That'd be awesome.
00:45:33 And again, great skate by Lila. We're just waiting for her results.
00:45:44 The juvenile best score for this program has been 25.88 points. We'll see if she betters that today.
00:45:51 And again, this is the juvenile women's free program.
00:45:59 We've got six skaters in this category.
00:46:02 Lila was skater number three.
00:46:05 We've got skater number four waiting to come on the ice.
00:46:11 She has earned 26.08 points, which puts her currently in third place.
00:46:16 It's a new personal best, so good for her.

00:50:17 Lots of dedication by Madeline and her family.
00:50:26 Her personal best score for today's program has been 26.74 points.
00:50:31 And Madeline just waiting anxiously for today's results.
00:50:43 And again this is the juvenile women's free program.
00:50:52 [background chatter]
00:51:12 While we're waiting for the results for Madeline, we've got Jordan Benoit on the ice.
00:51:21 A little extra warm up.
00:51:22 The scores for Madeline Munro.
00:51:41 She's earned 25.74 points, which currently puts her in fourth place.
00:51:49 [applause]
00:51:52 Not a personal best for Madeline, but I think she's happy with that.

00:55:09 [applause]
00:55:12 Great skate by Jordan.
00:55:14 Jordan represents the Silver Blade Skating Club in Western.
00:55:18 And her past successes, she was in the skating season of 2023-24.
00:55:26 She earned bronze at the Summer Skate, silver at the Agnes Thistle,
00:55:30 gold at Western Classics, and bronze at Provincials.
00:55:34 Interesting fact about Jordan is she enjoys reading and other sports that she enjoys
00:55:39 are cross-country running, track and field, soccer, and volleyball.
00:55:43 Her favorite color is purple.
00:55:46 Her favorite food is spaghetti.
00:55:49 Her favorite animals are hedgehogs.
00:55:52 And she says, "I have two Yorkies named KJU and Titan."
00:55:57 That's awesome.
00:55:59 Her personal best score for the program that was skated today is 23.88.
00:56:05 And she's just awaiting the results of judges for today's program.
00:56:12 And we've got one more skater in the Juvenile Women's Free Program.
00:56:19 We've got Allie Ryan from the Prince of Wales Skating Club
00:56:23 just waiting eagerly at the end of the ice to be called out.
00:56:28 Still just waiting for the results of Jordan first.
00:56:33 And this is usually the time when the athletes and the coaches kind of talk a little bit about
00:56:45 how the skate went, what the coach saw, what worked,
00:56:49 what maybe needs to be a little bit improved.
00:56:53 [crowd noise]
00:57:01 The scores for Jordan Bedlam.
00:57:04 She has earned 25.39 points, which puts her in fifth place.
00:57:10 [crowd cheering]
00:57:14 25.39. I think Jordan's quite happy with those results.
00:57:18 That's got to be a new personal best for her in that program.
00:57:23 So great to see the improvements.
00:57:25 And we've got Allie Ryan taking to the ice.
00:57:29 Our final competitor in this category represents the St. John's Court Zone.
00:57:35 Face Washington Bay Ice, Allie Ryan.
00:57:39 There's no real theme to Allie's music.
00:57:42 It's done by an artist called Lindsey Stirling.
00:57:45 She probably chose it because it's fast and energetic.
00:57:49 [music]

01:00:28 Ladies and gentlemen, Allie Ryan.
01:00:31 [crowd cheering]
01:00:34 Great skate by Allie Ryan.
01:00:36 She represents the Prince of Wales Skating Club,
01:00:38 and her home club coach is Michelle Walsh.
01:00:41 Our next category is the Combined Elite Bend Free Program.
01:00:46 And will the following skaters please take to the ice for their six-minute warm-up.
01:00:50 Adam Mason, Lanyon Kelly, Jonathan Flynn, and Matt O'Donoghue
01:00:55 for a six-minute warm-up in the stand.
01:00:58 [crowd cheering]
01:01:01 And Allie was the final skater in the Juvenile Women's Program.
01:01:05 Allie won bronze at the 2023 Atlantic Championships
01:01:10 and has qualified for the Atlantic again this year
01:01:12 after placing fourth at this year's Provincials.
01:01:16 Allie is also competing at Synchro Nationals.
01:01:19 I think that's already taken place.
01:01:21 February 24th to the 26th in Waterloo.
01:01:24 Allie loves to compete and perform and enjoys the fitness aspect of skating.
01:01:29 And it says here she loves to run up Signal Hill in her spare time.
01:01:34 That would be a feat for me.
01:01:38 I'm glad that she's able to do that.
01:01:40 That's got to be--that's her off-ice training that keeps her in top physical condition.
01:01:47 Her personal best score for this program today was 23.09.
01:01:53 And we're just waiting on the results for Allie.
01:01:58 And right now warming up on the ice is the Elite Men.
01:02:04 They've been given a six-minute warm-up.
01:02:07 The scores, please.
01:02:11 The scores for Allie Ryan.
01:02:13 She has earned 20.49 points, which places her in sixth place.
01:02:19 The unofficial results of the Juvenile Women's Free Program.
01:02:26 In first place, Kara Locke.
01:02:29 In second place, Kenley Hoskins.
01:02:32 In third place, Lila Dunnevin.
01:02:35 In fourth place, Madeline Laveau.
01:02:38 In fifth place, Jordan Bedlove.
01:02:41 In sixth place, Allie Ryan.
01:02:46 And those are the results of our Juvenile Women's Free Program.
01:02:49 The officials for the Combined Elite Men Free Program.
01:02:53 Controller John Stevenson.
01:02:55 Our technical specialists, Allison Dahl and Allison Winter.
01:02:59 Our judge referees, Kimberly Greedy.
01:03:02 Our judges are Janelle Caravan and Jennifer Stoklas.
01:03:06 Data input operator is Angela Pike.
01:03:09 And our video replay operator is Rebecca Smith.
01:03:15 And again, this is the pre-novice Elite Men Free Program.
01:03:18 We've got four skaters warming up on the ice.
01:03:21 We've got Adam Masich, Landon Kelly, Jonathan Flynn, and Matt O'Donohue.
01:03:26 [MUSIC]
01:03:37 In the Elite Men, they get a maximum of six jump elements.
01:03:41 Maximum of two spins.
01:03:45 And they get a maximum of one step sequence.
01:03:48 They must fully utilize the ice.
01:04:03 I think Adam is going to be our first skater up out of this category.
01:04:13 And once again, ladies and gentlemen, we're broadcasting live here on Rogers
01:04:18 from the Mike Austin Arena here in beautiful Lewisport, Newfoundland
01:04:21 as part of the 2024 Newfoundland-Laboratore Winter Games.
01:04:27 Rogers has been doing a great job with live streaming of many of the events all week long.
01:04:34 And we're here at the figure skating in Lewisport.
01:04:39 Most of the events have been happening in and around our host community of Gander.
01:04:44 Because of the -- we have a single ice surface in Gander,
01:04:48 we've moved the figure skating to Lewisport.
01:04:52 Just a short drive away from Gander.
01:04:55 And utilizing the arena out here.
01:05:02 And I think the last time that the Winter Games or any part of it was held in Lewisport
01:05:07 was back in 1990.
01:05:09 So good to see some element of it back in Lewisport.
01:05:27 And we've been broadcasting here live all day.
01:05:29 And if you have been experiencing some technical difficulties,
01:05:34 it's mainly due to the Internet service that we've had here.
01:05:37 We've had some difficulties with a drove today.
01:05:40 We do appreciate you tuning in and bearing with us through some of our difficulties.
01:05:47 We're doing the best we can.
01:05:49 We've got a great team of volunteers here today.
01:05:53 Manning our cameras.
01:05:55 Keeping track of the skaters on the ice.
01:05:58 Trying to give you the best coverage that they can.
01:06:04 [MUSIC]
01:06:32 [INAUDIBLE]
01:06:40 They give them a warm-up.
01:06:42 It's a six-minute warm-up.
01:06:43 They usually try and give them a one-minute notice when the five minutes is up.
01:06:49 Sometimes the judges lose a little bit of track of time.
01:07:05 You notice the skaters.
01:07:06 It's a great opportunity just to practice some of the elements.
01:07:09 Could all the skaters please leave the ice?
01:07:11 Your warm-up is now over.
01:07:12 Could all the skaters please leave the ice?
01:07:16 Once again, this is the free anonymous manning.
01:07:19 Combined elite manning.
01:07:21 Free program.
01:07:22 Our first skater represents St. John's, North Dakota.
01:07:26 Please welcome Adam Masich.
01:07:29 This is Adam Masich.
01:07:31 And he is going to be skating to the music of "Run, Boy, Run."
01:07:45 [MUSIC]

01:10:53 Ladies and gentlemen, Adam Masich.
01:10:57 Great skate by Adam.
01:11:00 And Adam represents the Prince of Wales Skating Club.
01:11:04 His coaches are Wendy Mercer and Colin Chansky.
01:11:09 Adam was a silver medalist at the provincials and sectionals
01:11:12 and a member of the 2023 Canada Winter Games team.
01:11:18 Adam loves the outdoors, especially kayaking and fishing.
01:11:22 Also martial arts, including karate and kendo.
01:11:25 In his spare time, he does pottery and loves walking his dog, Yerky.
01:11:34 Adam's personal best score for today's program has been 42.13 points.
01:11:40 He does a lot of training throughout the week,
01:11:42 averaging about 10 hours per week training on the ice.
01:11:48 So these young athletes are certainly dedicating a lot of time to their sport.
01:11:54 And it shows.
01:11:56 To get out and perform some of the elements with the skill level that they do
01:12:00 is just extraordinary.
01:12:03 We congratulate them all.
01:12:04 And being part of the Newfoundland and Labrador Winter Games
01:12:09 is just a fantastic experience as well.
01:12:19 And this is the pre-novice men, the combined elite men free program.
01:12:24 We just watched Adam Masich of the Prince of Wales Skating Club
01:12:28 perform his program.
01:12:32 And he's just in the kiss and cry section waiting for his results.
01:12:44 Got a nod of approval from Adam.
01:12:46 He seems to be pretty happy with that score.
01:12:48 Good for him.
01:12:51 Our next skater waiting to get called out is Landon Kelly.
01:12:56 He's from the Mount Pearl Paradise Skating Club.
01:13:08 Welcome to the ice, representing the Mount Pearl South region, Landon Kelly.
01:13:15 And Landon is going to be skating to the music "Heart Upon My Sleeve" by Imagine Dragons.
01:13:31 With my heart upon my sleeve
01:13:35 I head down low, I still feel low
01:13:39 Down low upon my knees

01:16:27 - And a powerful skate by Landon Kelly.
01:16:34 Landon represents the Middle Pearl Paradise Skating Club.
01:16:39 His coaches are Neil Thorne,
01:16:41 Lori Brett and Brittany Morgan.
01:16:43 Landon has won numerous medals,
01:16:49 mostly gold at every level of his competitive career.
01:16:52 He won gold in the juvenile skate
01:16:54 at the Atlantic Championships in Paradise last year.
01:16:57 He most recently won gold in both categories he skated at,
01:17:00 at the provincial championships in Corner Brook
01:17:02 just a few weeks ago.
01:17:03 I was there and I watched him.
01:17:05 Some interesting facts about Landon,
01:17:07 he loves riding his quad and dirt biking.
01:17:09 He can fix just about anything that goes wrong
01:17:11 with either of them.
01:17:12 He also repairs bicycles in his spare time.
01:17:14 Landon also plays hockey at a high level
01:17:17 and is the captain of his under 14
01:17:19 MCHL Goulds Pacers hockey team.
01:17:24 So Landon obviously spends a lot of time on the ice,
01:17:27 figure skating and hockey.
01:17:30 But great to hear that he's got other interests
01:17:32 outside as well.
01:17:33 His personal best for the program skated today
01:17:37 has been 30.01 points.
01:17:39 And he's just waiting with his coaches
01:17:44 for the results of today's program.
01:17:48 Ladies and gentlemen, if you notice the programs
01:17:52 have gotten a little longer with the elite men,
01:17:54 we're now at a three minute program.
01:17:56 Plus or minus 10 seconds.
01:18:01 So the skaters have a three minute time frame
01:18:05 to perform all the elements that they need to perform
01:18:09 at this level.
01:18:10 You'll notice there's not a whole lot of time
01:18:15 being wasted on the ice.
01:18:17 They're transitioning from element to element
01:18:19 pretty quickly.
01:18:20 In an effort to get as many elements
01:18:22 and get as many points as they can.
01:18:25 While we're waiting for the results of Landon,
01:18:33 we've got Jonathan Flynn,
01:18:35 also from the Mount Pearl Paradise Skating Club.
01:18:38 He's taken to the ice.
01:18:41 And once we get the results from Landon's program,
01:18:47 Jonathan will be called out.
01:18:49 - This is for Jonathan Keck.
01:18:52 He has earned 31.53 points,
01:18:55 which currently puts him in second place.
01:18:58 - We got some nods of approval there,
01:19:00 so he's happy with those results.
01:19:02 And next up is Jonathan Flynn.
01:19:08 (crowd chattering)
01:19:11 Sometimes the skaters go out to the ice
01:19:23 before they're called,
01:19:24 but technically they have to wait
01:19:25 until their names are called
01:19:26 before they take their position.
01:19:28 - Representing Tee Indigenous, Jonathan Flynn.
01:19:32 - There we go.

01:29:02 This is for the Queen Honest Women's Free Program.
01:29:09 - And Matt has had a lot of past successes.
01:29:10 He's been Newfoundland Labrador Provincial Champion
01:29:13 and a Lanting's Champion
01:29:14 in the Star Six Men's category in 2023.

01:29:38 in Corner Brook, Matt earned a pair of Silver Medals
01:29:41 for his performances in each of the Star Seven
01:29:43 and Star Eight Men's categories.
01:29:45 Fantastic.
01:29:46 And some interesting facts about Matt.
01:29:48 Matt has been very fortunate for the opportunity
01:29:50 to work with the amazing cast of CBC's Son of a Critch
01:29:55 as a background performer.
01:29:56 That's awesome.
01:29:57 But he's not on the ice rink.
01:29:59 He's more on set or busy with school.
01:30:02 He's playing basketball or mountain biking.
01:30:05 So Matt is a well-rounded young athlete for sure.
01:30:11 And his performance today is just great.
01:30:13 He's just waiting for the results.
01:30:16 In the meantime, we've got our pre-novice women

01:31:29 which puts him in fourth place.
01:31:32 - That's a personal best for Matt.
01:31:33 So great skate.
01:31:36 He's gotta be glad about that.
01:31:37 Congratulations to all the men's elite skaters.
01:31:46 And once again,
01:31:55 this is the pre-novice women program coming up next.
01:31:57 We've got five skaters in this category
01:32:02 and all five of them are currently warming up
01:32:03 on the ice right now.
01:32:05 They get a six minute warmup.
01:32:07 They'll get a one minute notice
01:32:10 as we get towards the end.
01:32:12 The first skater in this group will be Addison Locke,
01:32:16 representing the Mountborough Paradise Skating Club.
01:32:19 And again, if you're just tuning in,
01:32:29 we are broadcasting live from the Mike Austin Arena
01:32:33 here in beautiful Lewisburg, Newfoundland
01:32:35 as part of the 2024 Newfoundland Labrador Winter Games.
01:32:39 Figure skating competitions taking place all day today.
01:32:42 We've had a great day of competition so far.
01:32:47 We've got a couple of categories left.
01:32:50 We've got the pre-novice women,
01:32:52 which are on the ice currently warming up.
01:32:54 And after them, our final category will be the novice women.
01:32:58 And then we'll end the day off
01:33:00 with the medal presentations for these groups this afternoon.
01:33:04 And again, you've heard a lot of the skaters
01:33:09 have qualified in the provincials
01:33:11 for the Atlantic Championships.
01:33:13 And the Atlantic Championships are gonna be taking place
01:33:16 in Nova Scotia, Halifax Dartmouth area in April.
01:33:21 So that's something to look forward to.
01:33:23 Between now and then,
01:33:25 if you're still craving some figure skating,
01:33:27 we've got the World Figure Skating Competitions.
01:33:29 And they're actually happening in Canada this year.

01:34:09 to a lot of the major networks as well,
01:34:12 including our own Rogers.
01:34:13 And once again, we wanna thank Rogers
01:34:21 for live streaming our events here today.

01:34:51 competing in various sports.
01:34:55 (upbeat music)
01:34:58 Today's figure skating of course being one of them.

01:39:40 but she's never competed outside of Newfoundland.
01:39:44 (audience chattering)
01:39:47 Her personal best score for today's program
01:39:54 has been 41.64 points.
01:39:57 We'll await the judges' results for today's program.
01:40:02 And again, just a great experience for these athletes
01:40:13 to be part of the Newfoundland Labrador Winter Games here.
01:40:16 Memories, I think that they'll carry with them
01:40:20 for a long time, meet lots of new friends.
01:40:24 It's not just a competition, what these games are about.
01:40:28 It's about the experiences, meeting new people.
01:40:31 So much to take away from these games, for sure.
01:40:36 (audience chattering)
01:40:39 And mostly these skaters have various competitions
01:40:46 all throughout the year, so Newfoundland Winter Games
01:40:49 is just something extra to be thrown into the pot.
01:40:52 None of these athletes are foreign to competition.
01:40:59 That's for sure, they've been performing all year long.
01:41:02 (audience chattering)
01:41:05 And again, this is the pre-Novice Women's Free Program.
01:41:13 Our first skater just completed, this was Addison Locke.

01:45:45 - Great skate by Marissa.
01:45:46 Again, Marissa represents
01:45:49 the Trinity Passentia Figure Skating Club.
01:45:51 She's also an associate member
01:45:53 of the CBS Figure Skating Club.
01:45:55 Her coach is Dana Smith.
01:45:59 Marissa has earned her best personal score
01:46:02 with this program during the Sectional Championships
01:46:05 last December, which qualified her
01:46:07 to be at the Winter Games currently.
01:46:10 This year was her second year competing
01:46:12 at a province in the Ontario Sectional Series
01:46:15 in October event.
01:46:17 Highlights of her skating so far
01:46:19 have been winning the 2023 Provincial Championships
01:46:22 in the Juvenile Under 14 and Star 7 categories,
01:46:25 making her a double Provincial Champion.
01:46:28 She earned a silver medal in Juvenile Dance
01:46:30 in 2023 Provincial Championships.
01:46:32 In 2023, she earned a bronze medal at Atlantics
01:46:35 in the Juvenile Under 14 category
01:46:37 and the silver medal in the Juvenile Dance.
01:46:39 She is a 2024 Skate Newfoundland and Labrador
01:46:42 Senior Team member.
01:46:43 She skates with the Trinity Passentia Figure Skating Club's
01:46:45 Star 8 Synchronized Skating Team.
01:46:48 Her team recently won bronze
01:46:50 at the Elizabeth Swan Memorial Competition.
01:46:52 Marissa is a natural athlete
01:46:57 and not only enjoys figure skating,
01:46:59 but downhill skiing and riding her snowmobile
01:47:01 with her family in the back country
01:47:03 of Western Newfoundland and Thorburn Lake.
01:47:05 The summer season sees her swimming
01:47:07 and enjoying the warm weather with her friends.
01:47:10 She's becoming quite an accomplished kneeboarder as well.
01:47:13 So, fantastic.
01:47:14 (crowd chattering)
01:47:17 (crowd chattering)
01:47:20 (crowd chattering)
01:47:23 (crowd chattering)
01:47:26 And Marissa just waiting for her results
01:47:52 in the Kiss and Cry section.
01:47:53 Fantastic skating.
01:48:01 Again, the coaches or the judges
01:48:05 judging many components of the program.
01:48:08 She's got a lot of elements that have to be completed there
01:48:10 between the jumps and spins.
01:48:12 But not only that, it's the presentation
01:48:15 on the ice as well that gets judged.
01:48:18 So many things that play part of the score,
01:48:21 the overall score.
01:48:23 That's why you see a number of judges
01:48:25 and data specialists, technicians
01:48:27 that make all this possible.
01:48:31 There's certainly a skills part of these programs,
01:48:40 but there's also a presentation part
01:48:42 of these programs as well.
01:48:43 So, everything right down to the costume selection,
01:48:47 the music selection, everything.
01:48:49 Everything just plays a role in the whole program.
01:48:52 - The score for Marissa Hickey,
01:48:55 she has earned 39.55 points,
01:48:58 which puts her currently in second place.
01:49:01 - Okay, and a nod of approval.
01:49:03 She seems to be happy with that.

01:52:40 - Ladies and gentlemen, Clara Sullivan.
01:52:43 (audience cheering)
01:52:44 - And just a great skate by Clara,
01:52:47 putting everything out there.
01:52:48 But these young athletes,
01:52:50 they just put everything out there
01:52:52 and it's just a rollercoaster of emotions at times, so.
01:52:56 Clara represents the Prince of Wales Skating Club.
01:53:08 Her coaches are Colin Chansky and Yuriy Vepin.
01:53:13 This year, Clara placed third in the free program
01:53:18 at Summer Skate.
01:53:19 (audience cheering)
01:53:20 First in the Pre-Novice Women Combined at Agnes Thistle.
01:53:24 First in Gold Artistic at Agnes Thistle.
01:53:27 Second in Pre-Novice Women Combined
01:53:29 in Skate Newfoundland and Labrador Sectional Championships.
01:53:32 Second in the Pre-Novice Women
01:53:33 at the Eastern Figure Skating Classic.
01:53:35 Second in Gold Artistic at Provincials.
01:53:38 (audience cheering)
01:53:42 Clara choreographs her own artistic programs.
01:53:46 That's awesome.
01:53:46 She loves coaching can skate.
01:53:48 She also loves to dance and dances competitively
01:53:50 with Ignite Dance Company.
01:53:52 She volunteers as a teaching assistant
01:53:54 at the Dance Studio East.
01:53:57 She particularly loves ballet
01:53:58 and danced the role of Clara in the Nutcracker one year
01:54:01 with Kitty Wake Dance Theater, a dream come true.
01:54:05 She's super excited to participate
01:54:06 in Newfoundland with her games
01:54:07 and can't wait to compete at Atlantics
01:54:09 in Nova Scotia next month.
01:54:10 Just waiting for the results of Clara's,
01:54:23 again, so much pressure on these athletes,
01:54:26 most of which they put on themselves to perform well.
01:54:29 They wanna do their best.
01:54:31 And again, just a rollercoaster of emotions
01:54:35 for these young adults.
01:54:37 Clara's personal best score for this program
01:54:43 has been 42.84 points.
01:54:45 And while we're waiting for the scores for Clara,
01:54:56 we've got Natalie Caines from the Silver Blade Skating Club
01:54:59 just warming up on the ice here for a minute.
01:55:04 Waiting to be called out.
01:55:05 And again, just waiting for results for Clara.
01:55:25 So hopefully she didn't get hurt on that fall.
01:55:28 She took a couple of, one tumble there at least.
01:55:30 I think it was during a transition
01:55:32 from one element to the other.
01:55:33 Again, falls on ice.
01:55:39 Nothing easy about that for sure.
01:55:42 And again, these athletes,
01:55:53 they just wanna perform the best routine that they can,
01:55:56 the best program that they can.
01:55:57 (crowd chattering)
01:56:00 Judges just taking some time
01:56:06 to go over the elements of Clara's program.
01:56:08 Again, oftentimes they'll take advantage
01:56:14 of the video replay.
01:56:16 They actually have a videographer
01:56:18 that is videotaping the entire skater's program.
01:56:22 And they'll often playback portions of that program,
01:56:25 different elements,
01:56:26 to make sure that some of the elements
01:56:27 were actually completed,
01:56:28 that the elements were part of the program.
01:56:32 Sometimes that takes a little bit longer.
01:56:34 - The score is for Clara Sullivan.
01:56:41 She has earned 32.88 points,
01:56:44 which puts her currently in third place.
01:56:47 - Not the score that Clara certainly wanted,
01:56:51 but listen, great skate nonetheless.
01:56:55 - Our next competitor represents the Western Zone.
01:56:58 Please welcome to the ice, Natalie Caines.
01:57:02 - This is Natalie Caines.
01:57:03 (crowd cheering)
01:57:06 Natalie taking her position.
01:57:08 She's gonna be skating to the music of Tango.

02:00:30 - Ladies and gentlemen, Natalie Caines.
02:00:38 - And a great skate by Natalie.
02:00:40 (crowd cheering)
02:00:42 Natalie represents the Silver Blade Skating Club.
02:00:45 Her coaches are Lisa Young and April Barron.
02:00:48 Some of Natalie's past accomplishments
02:00:50 have been winning the 2019 Provincial Championship
02:00:53 in Star Five and going on to win bronze
02:00:55 in the Atlantic Championships.
02:00:57 In 2022, Natalie won the Provincial Championship
02:01:01 in Juvenile under 14.
02:01:02 Natalie is also a member of the Silver Blade Skating Club
02:01:05 pre-novice synchronized skating team, the Silver Elites.
02:01:09 The Silver Elites are the 2023 Provincial Champions.
02:01:12 In January of 2024, the Silver Elites traveled
02:01:15 to compete in Ontario Synchro Series Two
02:01:18 in the pre-novice category and came home with gold.
02:01:21 In the 2023-24 skating season, Natalie earned a bronze medal
02:01:25 for her short program at Summer Skate
02:01:28 and a bronze at the Agnes Thistle Invitational.
02:01:31 Natalie earned gold at the Western Classic
02:01:33 and a fourth place finish at the Provincial Championships,
02:01:36 which qualified her to represent Newfoundland and Labrador
02:01:38 at the Atlantic Championships held in Nova Scotia
02:01:40 in April coming.
02:01:42 Natalie is currently a member of the 2024
02:01:44 Skate Newfoundland and Labrador Senior Team.
02:01:47 When she's not at the rink, training or coaching,
02:01:51 can skate, Natalie enjoys downhill skiing
02:01:53 and trying new foods.
02:01:55 Awesome.
02:01:56 Natalie's personal best score for the programs aided today
02:02:04 has been 41.30 points.
02:02:07 (crowd chattering)
02:02:10 And again, this is the pre-novice women free program.
02:02:15 We've got one skater remaining in this category, Kate Ball.
02:02:20 It's just at the end of our rink,
02:02:23 getting ready to be called out while we're waiting
02:02:25 for the results of Natalie Caines.
02:02:27 And after this program, we have one remaining program,
02:02:37 which I believe is the novice women.
02:02:40 And I think we've got five skaters
02:02:43 in that program coming up.
02:02:44 And that will be our competitions then for today
02:02:49 and the figure skating competitions for these 2024
02:02:52 Newfoundland and Labrador Winter Games.
02:03:04 And again, we're out here at the Mike Austin Arena
02:03:07 in beautiful Lewisport, Newfoundland,
02:03:09 with the 2024 Newfoundland and Labrador Winter Games.
02:03:15 Figure skating competition is taking place all day today
02:03:18 here at the arena.
02:03:19 Host town of Gander.
02:03:25 We have one ice surface in Gander,
02:03:27 which has been occupied mainly for boys
02:03:31 and girls hockey competitions.
02:03:35 So we decided that the figure skating would take place here
02:03:38 in nearby Lewisport.
02:03:39 Last time the Winter Games,
02:03:43 any portion of the Winter Games took place in Lewisport,
02:03:45 I believe it was back in 1990.
02:03:47 - The scores for Natalie Caines,
02:03:51 she has earned 40.20 points,
02:03:55 which puts her currently in second place.
02:04:02 - So she's in second, so one skater left.
02:04:05 So she quickly realizes that she's getting a medal.
02:04:09 And our final skater of the category,
02:04:21 Kate Ball is gonna be taking to the ice
02:04:23 and she is going to be skating to the music
02:04:25 from the Disney movie, "Ratatouille."

02:07:39 - Ladies and gentlemen, Kate Ball.
02:07:44 And just a fantastic skate by Kate Ball.
02:07:49 Kate represents the CBS Skating Club
02:07:51 and her coaches are Catherine Pettin and Haley Dalton.
02:07:56 Kate won gold at the Eastern Divisionals
02:08:00 and Provincials last year when competing
02:08:01 in the pre-juvenile under 13 category.
02:08:04 She won silver at Provincials in pre-novice this year.
02:08:07 Kate traveled to Ontario the last two years
02:08:09 to train and compete.
02:08:13 Kate skated pairs with her older brother
02:08:15 for a year after moving to CBS.
02:08:18 Kate is a strong swimmer.
02:08:25 She joined the GFW Swimmer Swim Club
02:08:29 at the age of seven and won silver medal
02:08:31 at Provincials that year.
02:08:32 Kate loves working with children
02:08:34 and wants to be a speech and language therapist
02:08:36 when she grows up.
02:08:42 And her personal best score for today's program
02:08:45 has been 44.07 points.
02:08:48 We'll see what the judges rate her performance today at.
02:08:52 And Kate was the last skater
02:08:59 of the pre-novice women's free program.
02:09:02 We've got one final program,
02:09:06 which is the novice women's coming up,
02:09:08 but I believe we are going to have
02:09:10 a resurfacing of the ice, a flood of the ice before then.
02:09:15 - The scores for Kate Ball.
02:09:22 She has earned 43.07 points.
02:09:25 (crowd cheering)
02:09:28 Which puts her in first place.
02:09:31 (crowd cheering)
02:09:34 - And just a great skate by Kate.
02:09:37 Congratulations.
02:09:39 - The unofficial results
02:09:41 of the pre-novice women's free program.

02:09:54 In fourth place, Marissa Hickey.
02:09:57 In fifth place, Clara Sullivan.
02:10:00 - And there are your results
02:10:03 for the pre-novice women's free program.
02:10:07 (crowd cheering)
02:10:10 And after we get a resurfacing of the ice,
02:10:19 we have our novice women's free program,
02:10:21 which is the final program of our competition.
