It looks like Team Canada is conceding to Russia and maybe the US. Unless Patrick Chan screwed up again, he said Reynolds was skating the freeskate assuming Canada qualifies. Canada has to hope Osmond is within a spot of the russian girls and Virtue and Moir has to be at Davis and white which is highly unlikely if not impossible. And this still requires Plushy to fall behind a couple of spots of Reynolds. Reynolds is a younger version with less reputation than Plushy and not nearly as charismatic. Even Jeremy with his pcs could beat Reynolds or at least potentially. why Chan let the cat of the bag I am not sure unless it is public it just doesn't make sense. I am getting a feeling that Chan might be the next jinxed Canadian male - the sterling silver syndrome - two silvers. Remember Orser - really unfortunate because of school figures he was so far behind Hamilton who by 1984 really looked bad next to Orser but had enough of a lead from the school figures. Ironically in 1988 Brian Orser lost by one judge and had artistry been the tie breaker back then as it was later then he would have had gold. Unlucky two times could have been gold. Then there is Elvis who many felt should have beaten Urmanov and had it been COP good chance. His second silver really was the besgt he could do under the fact he was very injured - it looked painful I am happy for Hanyu and the Japanese but kind of sad about the silver syndrome but who knows ice can be slippery.
