I was sure they were going to take silver this year. It would be devastating for them to miss 4CC, and especially worlds.

the fact that they didn't w/d earlier to me implies (sorry for the speculation) that they hoped to be ready for Nationals. I wouldn't be surprised if they competed at 4CC... though it's very soon... but worlds are 2 months away. I think they will be there.

Nationals start in a couple hours with the SPs of all junior disciplines (Men are first).

Laurence and Nikolaj have withdrawn from Nationals.
Well this is now a golden (or silver and bronze actually) opportunity for two teams to medal who were not going to. I think Lauriault/Le Gac will take silver, but that bronze medal fight is going to be brutal.
I also think it's no mistake that they've announced this after their biggest competition, Lajoie/Lagha, also pulled out. I think they were going to be passed by LaLa, and now they don't have to worry about that.

I'm not sure where to post this, but Nikolaj Sorensen's instagram statement is quite different from Laurence Fournier-Beaudry's and probably should be added to the information thread.
Couldn’t find a thread for Junior Pairs at Nationals. The top 3 pairs did quite well. I wonder how many Canada can send to Junior Worlds.
They have 2 spots for junior worlds.
I am wondering this as well. She was posting photos about her trip to Japan recently...

Canadian Championships: Welcome to the deep freeze
Winter has descended upon Calgary with a blast of Arctic air, but there should be plenty to warm the insides of skating fans here this weekend

This article says that Lajoie is currently in Skate Canada's concussion protocol.
I hope it's not too serious. Concussion can sideline skaters for months.Canadian Championships: Welcome to the deep freeze

The fed typically places a lot of weight on having won the national title, so I expect this means Kaiya will get a crack at getting the senior TES minimums. Maybe she and Madeline could have a skate-off at the Challenge Cup.
The men's event at nationals was bleak, hard to say anything else about it.

It is true that Skate Canada values the national titles. At the same time, there is a precedent for sending Senior champions to Junior Worlds instead of senior worlds : Cynthia Phaneuf.
I am not thinking they will necessarily do it... but they have done it in the past. Considering Kaiya is doing YOG... she will miss 4CC. Then, it would be a race to get her minimums... is that worth it ? Maybe. Depends really if Maddie bounces back at 4CC.
Re Wesley, trickier not to send him to worlds though his LP was far from being the one of a champion. Same happened with him at JWC last year... Good SP, terrible LP. To me, he is just not ready to compete at senior worlds... at the same time, the other 3 contenders underperformed or are not healthy. Aleksa is also very Juniorish... as a matter of fact, he did go to junior worlds too last year. What can Skate Canada do with this? Probably like they have done a few times : put the spots up for grabs at 4CC.

If they don't send Anthony to JWC I think there will be riots among fs fans on social media. Some of the few positive things everyone acknowledges within this messy competition were Anthony's brilliant performances and deserved medal.
