Yes they indeed did say that. I would say that dance ( 2 entries ) is the only event where 4CC would change nothing.
The mens might have an issue if Fedor medals. I think SC would want Fedor to prove himself internationally at 4CC before giving him his ticket to worlds.
In pairs, the SC will use 4CC to evaluate if Langlois/Hay are healthy enough for worlds ( if they do compete there).
In ladies, 4CC will probably be the skateoff for the 2nd world spot.
Thanks for the info! I can definitely see Skate Canada's reasoning for doing this. Particularly, the battle between Leung and Phaneuf, who are both so unpredictable, and to test the conditioning of Langlois/Hay.
