The Event website is up and the Technical panels are:

And ice dance as well since V&M are candidates for gold and weaver and poje are medal contenders as well.

So basically Doris V&M and Chan would have to have major screwups not to win this thing canada has a technical specialist in two of the four major events.

Chan habitually doesn't get tech calls so the only direction the prejudice could go is negative. Note also he won last Worlds with no Canadian officials on the panels. V/M don't need Tech and judges' unfair assistance either. These champions should not be devalued by baseless assumptions.

Only the borderline skaters would be affected by strict or prejudicial tech calls, which are quite verifiable and require majority agreements.
