Just Found...

Finally, this video popped up on YouTube. Below, you'll find Patrick Chan's Canadian Nationals Free Skate. Not too shabby!

The other half of the long story...

As expected, Virtue and Moir won the Canadian Ice Dance Title. Winning the Silver was Crone and Poirier, showing their Grand Prix Season was not a fluke. Weaver and Poje took the Bronze.

On the men's side, Patrick Chan won...big...very big...by close to 50 points! Vaughn Chipeur held on for the Silver with Jeremy Ten taking the bronze.

Full Results are here.

Also, if you haven't checked out Joannie's free skate, see it in the post below. It's great! I'll see if I can find Patrick's.

And half of the long story...

I can tell you that Joannie Rochette and Dube and Davison have won their respective Canadian National Titles.

Joannie Rochette defeated Cynthia Phaneuf by a huge margin...nearly 34 points. Amélie Lacoste was third.

In Pairs, Dube and Davison had a free skate that was nearly 10 points better than Duhamel and Buntin allowing them to take the title. Brodeur and Mattatall were third.

UPDATE: Below (Until the Powers that Be Swoop In) is Joannie's perfect Free Skate from the 2009 Canadians.

The short of the story....

Skate Canada has posted the Short Program Results for the Senior Skaters.

No surprise that Patrick Chan and Virtue and Moir lead the mens and dance fields.

Cynthia Phaneuf edged out Joannie Rochette for the lead amongst the ladies and Duhamel and Buntin have slipped past Dube and Davison for the lead.

2009 Canadian Nationals

Next week, Canada's best will descend upon Saskatoon for the 2009 edition of their National Championships.

Like the U.S., Canada has not been immune to withdrawals...reigning Pair Champions Langlois and Hay have withdrawn due to injury leaving the door wide (wide!) open for Dube and Davison who are looking to jumpstart their season after they failed to make the Grand Prix Final.

Joannie Rochette looks for her 5th consecutive title. She'll face competition from the likes of Mira Leung and Cynthia Phaneuf.

Patrick Chan leads a field of men that include Kevin Reynolds, Shawn Sawyer, and Vaughn Chipeur.

Tessa Virtue and Scott Moir will finally get their season underway. Injuries kept them sidelined from competition this fall. It'll be interesting to see if Crone and Poirier can continue to bring the goods they brought during the Grand Prix.

A full list of competitors can be found here.

To all my friends up north...hope your favorite wins!
