2018 Canadian Olympic, World, 4CC, JrWorld

[pearly]

He's probably going to Euros cause of Javi.

But she does still skate with him, correct? Now that I think of it I saw him in the KnC yesterday.

 

[Anyasnake]

She's on the official CBC list of broadcasters for Figure Skating at the Olympics.

Congrats to the Oly and World team.I feel bad for I and M. And as much as I like Michael I wish Dylan and Kristen had stayed together for this Oly run.

The only controversy is maybe the men though I expect Nam will go to Worlds. It was so so close and body of work over the years favors Nam. Also, I think Nam was undermarked in the short.He really skated well and pc wisewas undermarked.LeStrada is a bit juniorish but I could have seen and would have at least given Nam worlds guaranteed. The significance of a guaranteed world spot is for motivation for training towards that goal. yes, all athletes should train hard all the time but they are human. Nevertheless, what is done is done. Now I and M have to pray D and R somehow win pairs gold and then I bet we will see D and R retire allowing I and M to go to worlds. This could have been Ross Minor all over in pairs.

Wasn't Daleman with Orser?

She's at the Cricket Club where he coaches, but Lee is her main coach. She does work with Brian too, but Lee is the one who's always with her.

Congratulations to Team Canada! I liked how Canada announced their Team, very classy!

 

[cheerknithanson]

No drama here. I'm definitely gutted for Alaine. It seemed like all season it was hers to lose. But she hasn't been doing well in competitions. Which is really sad tbh. Keegan deserved that 2nd spot. He was bringing it this year. There's going to be more charm on the ice because of his programs. The 3rd spot for pairs is where it gets tricky. MT/M over I/M. While I/M does have more of a body of work, Idk man. But regardless, congrats to the Olympic team!

So ... is Oleg Epstein listed b/c Patrick still works with him (although not Zoueva)??

(Orser is not on the official list, BTW.)

Congratulations to all the skaters.
And extra congratulations to Tessa and Scott for being named co-captains.

Shallow comment:

I wanna cool Team Canada jacket.
I think Eric's zipper is defective, so I would be content to take his, and Skate Canada [ETA: and/or COC] should give him a new one. ​

Heartbreaks and tears but no drama and controversies. 'tis the Canadian way.

Patrick has said Epstein would be with him if available.

Orser is not on the official list.

He has no student representing Canada.

Thx for reply re Epstein.

... He has no student representing Canada.

I was not expressing surprise re Orser.

The thread had previous discussion regarding his absence from the press conference, so I was underlining that he is not on the official list.

Marie-France and Patrice must be on a plane to Europeans. I wish I was on a plane (that plane would even better) to Europeans. Russia is second on my bucket list after France.

 

[NextGenFan]

Wow. If you would have asked me 2 months ago if Alaine was on the team I would've said yes. This season is so messed up! Also currently gutted for Nam as well:sad21:

I has been a very weird season.

 

[rain]

I feel bad for Alaine since she missed it in 2014, too, but she really didn't have much of a case over Larkyn. I'm glad they went with the medallists, although I wish Dylan and Lubov had been medallists.

I think he'll probably stay home, even if he wins an Olympic medal in singles, which is doubtful.

I don't think there's any chance Chan or Virtue and Moir do worlds.

Gutted for I/M, but I really can't argue with the decision. Also feel bad for Alaine, but she just hasn't skated for it in more than a year.

You have great taste

I would not be surprised if the only Canadian Nat Champ that goes to World's is Osmond. The Olympic Games is a mighty fine place to take your final bows.

I think you mean Gabby, as Kaetlyn is no longer the national champ.

 

[Tonichelle]

OMG KEEGAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! So proud!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :woohoo:

I've been waiting for this from you. Where've you been?

Keegan came over the rainbow, where Canada is.

Thank you for the correction, that was a silly mistake on my part. I think Daleman goes to World's, as well as Osmond.

After US nationals I headed down for 5 days in Disneyland and I just didn't have the energy to get on message boards. I just got home last night! (then there was church today so...)
