I don't see Italy beating Canada in any category except for possibly the men (especially if Roman does it and not Keegan). Georgia could beat Canada in both the men's and women's. China will beat Canada in pairs and possibly men and women so they are definitely a threat for 4th or 5th place.

Who is the Chinese woman? Is she really much stronger than Madeline? Never heard of her. Never seen her compete. Jin : mystery. I feel his best years are long gone but of course, if he lands a quad lutz, then it's a done deal for him to place high enough to beat Roman. Pairs was always going to be China. Dance was going to be Canada. I see it as pretty even. I think Italy is normally below Canada in all disciplines this time around except for men but even there, it can go either way. Grassl is capable of the best and the worst... just like Roman. Georgia is the same with Moritz. Gubanova seems a bit steadier though but her skating is not as nice as Madeline (IMHO). Their pairs are doing well but quite new to the scene. Their dance team has been MIA all season or most of the season due to injury if I recall correctly. I keep thinking about all this and if teams all do about what they can do, including a mishap each, Canada should be 4th. If a Japanese singles skater messes up big time, that could be very bad news for them but I do not expect them to do so... but you know there is always the dreaded

I am also wondering how people keep saying he has not flown yet but have not backed up the information. But my main point here is to mention that the 3 in protocol in Beijing are not necessarily figure skaters at all... unless I have not read properly, there was no mention of any names nor other details, just the number 3.

The dreaded popcorn???!!! lol Seriously, though, what does "in protocol in Beijing" mean specifically? That they have tested positive and waiting for a negative result, or something else? Thanks... but you know there is always the dreaded

yup the popped jumps in SP
and yes, the covid protocol is that they have tested positive and are waiting to produce negative tests to join the bubble. As you know, all Canadian athletes had to 1)be vaccinated and 2) test negative prior to board the plane to avoid issues, so these athletes are most likely individuals who have had remains of the virus in their system. As others have mentioned there is a number to be above (35, it was previously set at 40) and once one is above this number, one is no longer declared positive.

He's still in Canada. He hasn't been able to pass the PCR test to board a flight.

Yeah, I don't get why so many people are ranking Italy so highly. They just don't seem to have the math.
Canada, Georgia and China look like they have the best chance to finish 4-thru-6, in almost any order depending on how they skate. Might be able to sneak a medal is US or Japan really faulter (though the more I look at it, the more I like Japan for silver)

Thank you for the link.
(ETA: According to the dateline that is showing on my version), this "breaking" news was just posted 13 minutes ago by the CBC, as I write this post. This was the first official confirmation of Keegan's status of which I am aware.
Prayers that it is resolved and that Keegan is healthy.

It's been floating around media circles since this mornings COC briefing. I knew it would be reported later in the day

This is so unfortunate. I really hope that he will test negative and be able to travel ASAP. The figure skating event won’t be the same without Keegan there.

How the heck did this happened......?
It's possible that even Keegan doesn't know. I was at a New Years Eve party with a bunch of seemingly healthy people and within a week a whole bunch of us were down with Covid. (And many of us were vaccinated.) Keegan has probably been cautious (and may be asymptomatic) but Omicron is super contagious.

How did you *know* that? Are you in the media and had heard from a reliable source?
We've all seen various musings on the Internet, and make certain conclusions, but that is not knowing.
That's a shame about Keegan. Canada probably planned to have Keegan skate both Short and Free.
I would have preferred Keegan's Short and Roman's Free. Keegan's done well with his short and I love Roman's Free. Oh, well.
This is a lot of pressure on Roman with his first Olympic outing.
