No, but it would give Canada the chance to earn a second quota at the final qualifying competition.

 

To get two or three quotas from Worlds you need two or three skaters / pairs to qualify for the free skate.

Thank you, the thing I read was wrong then (or worded weirdly)

The ISU is allergic to writing a good qualification document.

Roman Sandovsky has a great short program and guarantees Canada a quota in men’s figure skating.

Great skate by Sadovsky! 
 

Never doubted him! 🤞🤦‍♂️🙏

Yes, I'm sure we all had complete faith in Sadovsky /s

 

Credit to him though, that was a really good state with only one major error.

Is it wrong that I still hope they can talk Messing out of retirement for next year?!

Nope, Keegan not having an Olympic medal is criminal

[NearPup 3,198]

Pereira and (especially) Michaud not having a good outing, really looking dire for a third spot in pairs.

 

Edit: they will finish no lower than 11th, which means a third spot is still possible but it requires other teams to implode and/or for Stellato-Dudek and Deschamps to climb way, way up.

Yikes… well, at least in the long we don’t need to wonder why the scores are low

 

L/E seem like nice enough kids and it would be nice for them to go, but if we don’t get a 3rd spot I don’t think it will effect their ceiling

Third pair spot missed by one spot
