Surlympics

Courtney Hoffos just had surgery for her tibial plateau, mcl and meniscus so she said focusing on plan B although time is limited before the Olympics with that kind of surgery. She said she already locked in her Olympic quota after the first race, so she said she just should have taken it easy in races leading up to the Olympics but it’s not in her nature.

Bronze for Andrew Longino at the Copper Mountain Halfpipe WC! 

Another gold for Reece Howden! 4th place also for Jared Schmidt.

Cross-country ski team announced

Alternates:
 
Olivia Bouffard-Nesbitt (Morin Heights, Que.)
Graham Ritchie (Parry Sound, Ont.)

That would be the only explanation that would work. This Friday is the announcement.

Gold for Howden!!!

And same with Graham Ritchie who just missed out on a medal in the team sprint at the last Olympics with Cyr in fifth. Thought for sure they would have teamed up again and won a medal in Italy.

So McKeever won the sprint today so it looks like he will take the final quota instead and Graham Ritchie will be out. So the men's team should be
Antoine Cyr Remi Drolet Maximillian Hollmann Xavier McKeever Tom Stephen  
Olivia Bouffard-Nesbitt won the women's Sprint. Liliane Gagnon might be placed on the team with exceptional status, so she might not be on the Olympic team. The team would be:
Jasmine Drolet Alison Mackie Katherine Stewart-Jones Sonjaa Schmidt Amelia Wells Liliane Gagnon/Olivia Bouffard-Nesbitt  
It's possible Canada gets reallocated a 7th quota so there could still be room for everybody.

Gold for Howden!!!

Thomas Stephen won bronze in the 30km mass start at the 2021 world junior championships and was part of the junior relay team that won silver in 2020 (with Drolet, Leveille, and Mckeever) and bronze in 2022 (with Mckeever, Masson and Moreau).
 
Hollmann was on our team that placed fifth at this years world championships along with (Cyr, Mckeever and Leveille), Gold in the Mixed relay at the under 23 world in 2023 (with Dueling, Jasmine Drolet and Liliane Gagnon)
 
And Amelia Wells has no notable results but is the "training buddy" of Schmidt for the past six years so that says a lot based off how she has been doing here.
 

Can we not have anymore races until the Olympics haha?

Sonjaa Schmidt and Tom Stephen won the 10km classic races today at the Canadian Olympic Trials and have booked their tickets for the Olympics.

Wow, a huge 7th place finish for Taylor Austin in men’s four-man at the Lillehammer WC!

They got very, very close to not getting a third quota by points in the 5000m. Like two positions away in the last world cup close. IIRC it was like a tenth of a second or something? Too lazy to go check exactly what it was, but point it, it was very close.

Blondin wins bronze in the mass start. Maltais 5th.
 
Dubreuil DNF in the men's 500

Gold in the women's team pursuit!

And now a 6th place finish for them at the Park City WC! Wow

Juliette Pelchat finishes fourth in women's big air!!! That score would have won her the bronze medal at last years worlds.

Naomi says she has tricks saved for a special occasion

So they can build multiple snowboard hills but can’t finish one hockey arena haha ?
