i'm confused where this sentiment that Short Track is in a rebuilding phase - sure Girard's retirement was unexpected, but are we expecting Kim Boutin to be totally off form when she comes back? The first Canadian selection for the Olympic team is happening this week so we should have some early indicators. True it is more competitive than a number of years ago but I still think the Canadian team is in the mix for 4-6 medals. 

Results from the world championships. I think it's safe to say the worst performance ever.

Canadian's alpine skiing has completely tailed off in the recent decade. Makes U wonder if all the skiing hopefuls target freestyle events straight away. I'd assume women's moguls would be in better shape but guess there is no replacing the Dufour-Lapointe clan? Whatever happened to Andi Naude though?

She retired to study veterinary science iirc.

At least they didn't make the same mistake then Montreal Velodrom which was converted into a biodome...
 

Tabarnak !!! 

It's a really great biodome, at least. And it isn't a white elephant, unlike it's next door neighbour.

Sheesh. That's so 1960s/70s BS. Don't tell me she can't make more money being an elite moguls athlete. The sport itself isn't exactly loaded with new talent every season so she could have been a Top 10 athlete and medal contender for many years. Very strange.

I don't think it had anything to do with money. She found her calling in life and decided to pursue it.... ofc it might seem weird to us but to her it was the right decision.

Same think with Samuel Girard in short track ... is same reason as Andi Naude loss of interest in their sport.

Looks like less than 10 gold for sure. Never understood why the A team cant do both

 For swimming it gives another chance of facing the Australians... its just short sighted imo.

I don’t think the A team is super interested because they have worlds two months before.

 

If worlds weren’t delayed a year you’d very likely see the A team go.

For sure. But I bet you Australia and the British A swimmers will all show up. It's definitely possible... there is nothing that can beat race experience
