Over the past weekend, the 2024 Skate Canada Challenge – Pre-Novice/Novice competition took place in Oakville, Ontario, with 36 skaters representing British Columbia and Yukon.
A standout moment was when BC/YT skaters claimed 1st and 2nd place in the Pre-Novice Pairs event. Jaslynn Wong and Nico Conforti, representing Connaught Skating Club, captured the gold medal with a fantastic free program, rising from 5th place in the short with a total score of 83.05. Meanwhile, fellow club members Ava Cheung and Stephen Lee skated well, earning them the silver medal with a total score of 82.23.
In the Pre-Novice Men's category, Alexander Ge, from Champs International Skating Centre of BC, delivered a great free program, moving him from 7th place to 2nd overall.
Tasha Lai and Mickey Becker-Pos, also from Champs International Skating Centre of BC, won silver in Novice Ice Dance after moving up from Pre-Novice last year.
Congratulations to all of our skaters this past week for their hard work, dedication, and excellent performances! We will see the top 18 competitors in Novice compete at the upcoming 2024 Novice Canadian Championships in Waterloo, Ontario, February 21-24, 2024. We look forward to cheering you on!
