There are at least two active Canadian teams who have scored above 132.93 at domestic competitions, even if not at international competitions (because Skate Canada doesn't send the Canadian skaters out) - Carignan/Pierro (144.06 at Skate Canada Challenge 2023/24) and Bombardier/Mimar (140.86 at Quebec Summer Champs 2024/25). A few other teams scored above that threshold but have since split, not least of all because they were not given many opportunities to develop.
Host spots don't need to be on the alternate list though and don't need to get these scores.... and they had gotten these scores before... so
it's just Skate Canada willing to spend money on a team training in Russia instead of one in Quebec/Ontario.Host spots don't need to be on the alternate list though and don't need to get these scores.... and they had gotten these scores before... so
The Friday and Saturday practices are usually available if you have the ticket for the first competition that day. Sunday practices are sometimes closed but usually when there is a Gala practice. With no Gala I am hoping that practice will be open too.
It's very likely that they do. At the SC organized comps I have been at, you just need to scan your ticket when leaving, so it will know you are not an additional scan of the same ticket when you come back in.
Practices will be on Peacock TV; hopefully someone will team up with maybe Jackie Wong or Jean Luc Baker to commentate during the practices as they did for Skate America

Pricey including the exchange rate? "Hurricanes in Halifax Hardly ever happen."
