2017-2018 Canadian Road to the Olympics

ancientpeas · Apr 24, 2017

I think Dylan said that she will have it by then. It's not like citizenship here is that hard to get and she's been here for .. more than 3 years.

She'll be.. 25. Maybe she could skate with Mervin when he realizes he'll never make to Olympics if he doesn't change the country he trains in (which he seems adamant about not doing) or skate with a Canadian? Or maybe she'll retire. Or maybe Dylan will stay on. I wonder what KTM will say if he does. He'll be 36 at the next Olympics? Who does he think he is Alliona?

Montreal is bidding on the 2020 Worlds and the GPF is in Vancouver in 2018. Maybe some of our skaters will stay in until then even if they don't plan to go on to 2022 if Montreal is chosen. (If Montreal is chosen I say we all crash at 4eversuspenders place)

skate with mervin? lol

i have no clue... she's young. i think he may keep going

I think she and Mervin would be cute together. I just kind of cast around for Canadians she could skate with. I'm assuming she'll go for dual citizenship so she could always sit out the year if Dylan retires and skate for Russia again. I don't know. Just tossing out ideas.

I don't know. If she can't find a partner here and wants to continue she might have to. All about choices.

Yeah I definitely don't see her skating for Russia again given how she talks about it.

Regarding the team event I would love to give a chance to W/P and Daleman to get a medal (Dylan and Reynolds already have a team medal).

And I'd also put them in the frees, which are less critical, points-wise.

Right now I'd go with:
Chan (SP/FS)
Osmond (SP) & Daleman (FS)
D/R (SP/FS)
V/M (SD) & W/P (FD)

But given that Pairs is first do you think D/R will want to do both when they have a realistic shot at a medal individually?

I think they would if it boosted the chances of a team gold.

Not to mention, Chan, Osmond, Daleman and V/M (maybe even W/P depending on how next season starts) are also gunning for individual medals.

Somebody's gonna have to go twice. And men and pairs are the disciplines where we lack a strong second entry (although I/M are still very strong). I'd just rather allow W/P and Daleman to get potential medals.

If they are healthy, D/R will definitely win the Olympics... If team Canada is healthy they will definitely win team gold.... IF they are healthy.

I think they would have V/M skate both programs. If Canada want gold medal V/M is like their only safety points..

Haha

Same with Osmond/Daleman -- they will win silver and bronze IF they are healthy. :biggrin:

Chan's also going to skate a clean SP and FS --- but only IF he's healthy too.

And V/M will lose to P/C... but only IF they're not healthy.
