Looking forward to him competing against Gogolev. New generation on the scene!

I was planning to download CBC TV's Road to the Olympic Games broadcasts of Nationals (they include Kurt Browning as the commentator) from the CBC.ca website, but I've been searching for over a week, and I can't find the archived livestreams anywhere. I had to beg an acquaintance to convert their PVRs into video files, and so far I've completed uploading the Men Short Program. (CBC Montreal DIDN'T air this segment , so I didn't even know there were any SPs that made it to the television broadcast until I received the vids!)


Kurt talks about Wesley during the warm-up section.

I've just noticed that Wesley's name has disappeared from the 4CC Entries List: https://results.isu.org/events/fc2022_Men.htm Does anyone know what happened?

This news article makes it sound like he was on his way?? I am fearing a positive test

The article must have been published this morning because it has today's date, so I assume that at the time it was posted, nothing was apparently wrong with Wesley.

Yes either that or they needed him to stay home because he's 1st alternate. And that makes me nervous, too, because the other first alternates like Evelyn and Trennt left for Estonia as planned. So... I don't know what this means (a positive test for Wesley or someone else).

This discussion (with Wesley as one of the main topics) is from the CBC.ca archived livestream (it wasn't available on the Dailymotion version).
Post-Senior Men SP Discussion (Livestream Commentary 720p):

 

[siberia82]

This discussion also wasn't available on the Dailymotion archived livestream. My original file is 720p, yet the site converted it to only 288p for some odd reason.
Post-Senior Men LP Discussion (Livestream Commentary):



There's no sound for the first 4.5 minutes.

I've belatedly realized that no one has posted the reason for his withdrawal from 4CC on this thread.

 

[surimi]

Happy Birthday to Wesley! He definitely caught my eye this season. Good luck to him at JWC!
@dorispulaski , I think the OP contains a typo, it says Wesley's birthday is the 30th. :]

[dorispulaski]

Thank you! I fixed it. And happy birthday Wesley.
