Overview

And it's a 13th place finish!

3:55.37 for Summer McIntosh in the 400 free at the US Open. First competition back from illness and goes the 2nd fastest time in history.

Finished ahead of Nozomi Maruyama too... I was starting to wonder if anyone would. She kinda came out of nowhere and was CRUSHING everyone this year Strate is putting together a really nice season.

Sets a hill record in round two, she’s always strong in those closing rounds.

Abigail Strate wins silver in women’s large hill in Poland!

And Dylan Deschamps sits second in the men's.

Sarah Douglas retires.

I know it's only training but in downhill training 1 Brodie Seger sat second behind Marco Odermatt and in training 2 Cameron Alexander was first in Beaver Creek Colorado

Naomi Urness sits first overall in big air qualifying. Who is she!!!

From my Olympic qualification predictions, I think it’s safe to say Naomi Urness will compete barring injury.

It will be livestreamed on the CBC Sports Youtube channel

Just a reminder, on December 7 at 9:45am PST is the mixed relay at the Skimo WC in Solitude, we need to finish ahead of US to make our Olympic debut in the sport.

Connor Howe doesn't appear on the list of competitors for this weekend's world cup. Very concerning.

I think Dandjinou was a reserve in 2022 so teams should be allowed to bring substitutes. I think one of Pierre-Giles or Laoun would be the 3rd skater in the 500m

That would suck But looking at the world ranks, it kinda looks like Dandjinou, Dubois and Roussel could be the guys for all three of the individual events... and with everything spread over six days, it's not a huge deal. Only days guys would have to double up are for the Mixed Relay and 1000 qualifying (Feb 10), and the 500 Q and the men's relay semi's (Feb 16th, which at least two would be doubling up anyway) Who would be odd man out? Pierre-Gilles? Would be nice to have the extra body, but not sure it will effect our plans much. And with injuries and whatnot with all the other countries, it may be a non-issue anyway. Do they let countries with relays bring substitutes, like athletics, where they're physically there, but don't count as active athletes unless officially substituted in?

What disaster

I now realize that there's a chance we may only get 4 men's quotas. Altogether, the sum of all short track quotas is 115 which is 3 athletes over the quota limit and some quotes will need to be cut. If the IOC decides to have an equal split per gender, then we would lose a quota since Canada is the lowest ranked men's relay that has 5 athletes qualified.

Pretty sure we did in 2014

Tyler Tardi has been selected as the alternate for the men’s curling team.

Not a good start to the season, the women finish 6th in Dubai

Women win silver at the Americas 3x3 Championships. The Men finish fourth

I seem to remember w never qualify a full team in every event, so this is good news.

10 quotas have officially been secured in short track with 3 quotas per individual event and all the relays.

Should mention that both William Dandjinou and Courtney Sarault won the crystal globes as the overall cup winners. Canada won the crystal globe for the best overall team.

Dandjinou certainly spent a lot of quality time in the padding
