I mean Canada would gladly adopt Babinsky in time for the Olympics

I think Gill would have overtaken the Swiss athlete, as he didn't compete at the WC in Switzerland

This might be the stupidest thing I’ve ever read and the complaints by Uhlander are ridiculous and unjustified just because the decision benefits Canada and not her and it’ll lessen her odds of making the Olympics 
 
Since when are other countries supposed to look out for you? 

Elena Gaskell advances to the final in Laax slopestyle, securing her spot at the Olympics!
 
Would be a real shame if she couldn't land a run here and missed out. 

I, too, use a VPN to watch the Olympics. But recently I've been able to get CBC content to work even without the VPN on here in Guatemala. Don't know if that'll work everywhere, or for the Olympics.

Yes even with 32, Canada has too much depth and better performing athletes in the other disciplines.

Updated Freestyle Skiing Qualification Rankings
 
Selection criteria.
 
For the men, Julien Viel, Miha Fontaine and Dylan Marineau all moved up 1 tier or more.
 
For the women, Marion Thenault, Megan Oldham, and Jessica Linton all moved up 1 tier or more.
 
A few other athletes also put themselves within the first five tiers of Method B but don't have enough placment points to qualify.
 
The biggest things to watch out for final qualifying week:
It's likely going to come down to Elliott Vaillancourt vs. Max Moffatt for the final spot on the Olympic team. Vaillancourt has one more placement point than Moffatt does. He has the advantage with having two competitions this week compared to one for Moffatt but the latter is in the better form coming off a 6th place finish last week in Aspen which was his best finish of the qualification period. You might have noticed that Elena Gaskell doesn't show up here and that's because despite winning a medal last weekend, her top 3 finishes during the qualification period sum up to over 22 points nor does she have 3 finishes in the top 16. As a result, she finds herself in tier 6 and on the outside looking in (although maybe she could be discretionally selected?). So if she finishes inside the top 16 this weekend in Laax, she'll be off to the Olympics. Otherwise, the final spot in slopestyle/big air will go to Skye Clarke.

What a start to the indoor season. 2 new Canadian U23 records
 
Christopher Morales Williams 32.46 300m
John O'Reilly - 1:16.52 600m 

Both doubles luge pairs have been ruled as needing additional qualification. I don't think the men's team will get it (unless Luge Canada asked for an extension).

Bronze for Miha Fontaine in men’s aerials at the Lake Placid WC!
 
Also 5th for Nadeau

Ice Dance Results:
1. Gilles/Poirier - 231.05 (137.94)
2. Lajoie/Lagha - 217.32 (130.39)
3. Lauriault/Le Gac - 200.93 (122.29)
 
These should be the 3 teams heading to Milan.

It’s also crazy Lia Cho won’t be able to represent us at worlds until 2030 with the scores she’s posting already 

No because the pairs/ice dance pairs have lost their placements and are unlikely to even medal individually. For the team event without any real threats, its going to be hard to medal.
