I'm not sure about this. Practices may help determine how well certain athletes have recovered from illness or injury, but all of the candidates for the team event have substantial bodies of work to consider, and to me their results make it easy to rank them based on that rather than how training is going.
It make sense to divide the athletes from each sport by plane. By the same logic, it makes sense to divide the Team Event people by plane.
Athletes from each sport weren't divided by plane. The entire hockey team flew together, etc. And if they were purposely putting Team Event people on separate planes, Nathan and Vincent wouldn't have been on the same flight. Along with K/F, who are also probably doing the TE. And Karen. And H/D left the same day too.
What would be the rules/protocols for that? They seem essentially tied.
K/F's median international scores put them in Group 2. C/L are in Group 3.
Yes! Dance overperformed, and pairs way overperformed above expectations. It'll be hard to maintain that lead once Kamila steps on the ice, but I think the US will comfortably sail to silver.
Yes
