He had the surgery in 2022 was my understanding. I don’t know if he will be able to do Worlds, but I think they will have a test skate before they give approval.I would like to know when Spencer had the surgery, and when doctors said he could get back on the ice to train, and realistically when it was felt he would be fully recovered enough to compete. They had to know the GPs were out of reach, though I can understand waiting till the last minute to pull out.
At this point, if Spencer is not healed now, will he be by Worlds? Certainly, the U.S. pairs discipline could use C/H's proven talent and competitive track record at Worlds.
