Poor guy precisely just missed men's event. Hope he shows free skating program in the gala.

I'm guessing his COVID case is why he was chosen, otherwise you'd think Brown would get that pick. Either way, makes sense to give him one more skate, hopefully he'll have some fun.

 

Keegan Messing being chosen for the gala is probably the best thing that will happen to Canadian figure skating all games xD

 

(Yes Canada looks not all unlikely to get a bronze team medal, but there will be so many asterisks next to it you can't really call it an accomplishment)

If China knows the Kamila drama will happen, it would definitely made all effort to be the original 4th which may be a bronze medal in the end.

Ya, had China put Sui and Han for the free the result would have been different, but why risk them fighting for 4th?

lol im surprised. No offence to anyone, but figure skating is by far the "worst" of the winter sports. Absolutely unwatachable. I am quite happy I don't have to watch any minute of it as Canada is was/not expected to be competitive. 

If Canada was competitive, you would have to watch it, despite not liking it, or what? :p 

 

I mean, the Netherlands might have been super competitive in dressage at one point, I just don't get it and so why would I watch :d

I do wonder if the IOC worry CAS will side with Russia and have made sure it has all gone public to put pressure on them. We all know CAS is not the strongest on doping bans at times.

Bleh, so Sadovsky is maybe coming away with a medal despite the Olympic participation that will probably give him nightmares for some time.

She tested positive way back at the Russian Nationals. Almost two months ago.

 

And it very much seems like the RUSADA swept it under the rug whilst only informing Valieva's coaching team and not Valieva herself...

Makes me wonder if some at Rusada want Russia banned from sports. It might suit Putin to use Russia being banned as an excuse to I say the world is biased again Russia.

In fact i think the IOC could lose any hope for anyone wanting to bid for 2030 if Russia are not expelled permanently from international sports. 
 

Surley Rusda knew yesterday the IOC would appeal. Maybe that was the plain. Politically it suits Putin for it be dealt with by non Russians not Rusda.

You can't be serious. No matter what happens, doping cases don't influence the Olympic bidding at all. 

 

And you are expecting way too much if you think that this will end with a full Russia ban. There's a good chance that there won't even be a DSQ and they will keep the gold, they will fight very hard for this at CAS.

IOC will have to at least push it or more sponsors will withdraw and countries will talk about setting up an alternative Olympics instead.

      Russian athletes that have changed nationalities

      I think they incorrectly translated Ukrainian word "nahorody" - it is not a full synonym of "medal". Its cocrrect translation is "award". Meanwhile russian tennis playes switched for Potapova ->  Rakhimova ->

      Ukrainian diver Lyskun switches allegiance to Russia, loses all medals | Olympics News | Al Jazeera   'loses all medals'   I would assume Al Jazeera could have been a bit clearer and mention this would presumably only be national medals. I mean, it's not like the Ukrainian federation, or any single federation for that matter, has the power to strip her of her world and European championships medals I hope (not for her sake, but because that would be a super weird precedent)

      Confirmation about the broadcasting rights.   If I'm reading it right, for most of Europe it will now be exclusive to Discovery/Eurosport or whatever brand they use.     For outside Europe, it's on YouTube. For Planet VPN....well, let us know if you find out.   fil-taker-list-25-26-winterberg-1.pdf   Also, should have mentioned above that the Nations Cup races today are just over one leg, whereas there are two runs in each of the World Cup races.

      Surely. Her first coach now works in russia (and grandma lives in russia according to Sereda). They were in contact and despite of full funding from  the girl decided to become the star of russian propaganda.  As I saw in X: "It took the Russians four years of war to find a relatively well-known sports personality to carry out such a propaganda operation."
