Does anyone have an update on lvl? Olympics are in less than three weeks lol

Tomorrow. French Canadian media are speculating good news.
Was supposed to be today but got delayed to tomorrow, can only imagine why, but I'd suspect the LVL situation.

Oh really where did you find this out?

This says it was supposed to be today: https://www.lapresse.ca/sports/jeux-olympiques/2021-07-05/laurence-vincent-lapointe-sera-fixee-mardi.php

 

and this (published after the first) says Wednesday: https://www.msn.com/fr-ca/actualites/région de trois-rivières/laurence-vincent-lapointe-sera-fixée-mercredi/ar-AALNEx6

 

As for the speculation, I read it again, I don't speak and was using translator, and it doesn't seem so. I originally read this translated line "

If Canada won after months of waiting, everything indicates that this place in C-2 will also give access to C-1 to Vincent Lapointe." as her getting a spot, but I think it now means she can race the c1 if given a quota in c2.

Hein? Tu vois sa où?

Personne ne veut vendre la mèche, mais tout indique que c’est le scénario qui sera présenté à la presse mercredi. À tout le moins, les gens sondés dans le milieu lundi étaient tous très optimistes pour [elle].

 

My quick and dirty translation:
 

Nobody wants to talk about it on the record, but everything indicates that this scenario [LVL competing in C-1 and C2] will be announced to the press on Wednesday. In any case, insiders we spoke to on Monday appeared to be optimistic [for LVL’s chances].

I am worried that she wasn’t on the ICF’s list today though.

I also messaged her on Facebook and she saw the message and didn't reply. You'd think if it was a no she would say something...
