2022 Olympic Entries

Farcical for the national federation to wait this long before nominating the only two candidates who should go. There’s always an alternate situation via injury or illness so that would never be an issue.
 
I have a question; Wesley Chiu is presumably the first alternate for the Canadian men at the Olympics, but since a member of his coaching team had tested positive for COVID just before 4CC (and Wesley had to withdraw from the event), does that mean he won't be allowed to enter Beijing in a hypothetical scenario where either Keegan Messing or Roman Sadovsky are injured/have COVID?

the real question though is will Skate Canada bother flying in any of the alternates?
 
Still mad about that. There was more than enough time to get an alt to Estonia to replace Wesley.
not so sure. it was that easy...... really, considering it took forever for some to fly to frankfurt then to estonia... deanna stellato mentioned 30 hours of travel... joseph mentioned that he arrived only on thursday and was returning right after the gala... so pretty much the shortest time he's ever spent at an international competition... i am guessing that it may be harder than we think to fly right now, especially the restrictions (getting tested before boarding etc) however, if i am willing to give them the benefit of the doubt for this one... Skate Canada does not traditionally always replace skaters with alternates... it has even happened at Skate Canada...
 
It has been reported today that Semenenko is replacing Kolyada who is currently positive to Covid.

I just saw that. I was really looking forward to the White Crow.
 
I’m not saying I wish covid on anyone, but there are situations where I’d just shrug my shoulders upon hearing the WD news. This is not one of those situations.
 
I'm so sad for Misha. :( It's unfortunate, but I have edited the opening post. (I somehow forgot Russia so it needed to be done anyway lol.)
