I believe it's possible, because it's the men, and I generally consider any outcome possible when it comes to the men (not all equally likely obviously). Which is not to say I would predict it. I would not. But could it happen? Sure, maybe.

I think the new team of Bombardier/Mimar might be eligible as a returning/split team, if they apply. I'm not clear on whether they'd be guaranteed a spot, or just eligible to be chosen though. The rule from this year's announcement: McIntosh/Mimar finished 11th at Worlds 2023, so Mimar would...

Two is several? Because there are only two Russian pairs competing for other countries and still training in Russia. There's also Daria Danilova, who trains in Russia. But her partner is Dutch, so they can't be called a 'Russian pair'. The other skaters originally from Russia all train abroad...

Pretty ridiculous to have no ice dance challenger in North America, honestly. Especially given how many dance teams train here, but even besides that. And also not great that the only singles challenger in Norht America is in early/mid August. That's very early. More than a month before any...

I guess the logic is that it's better to do all top 5 than only one or two of them, if they're going to do it at all? That seems like ISU logic. Of course, it doesn't explain why they don't just stick to their own recommendation. But as I said, ISU.

Well, Jia Shin will be senior-eligible for the Olympic season, among others. So I'm sure there will be.

I don't think they normally have multiple big events at TD Place on the same night, but as @marbri said, TD Place has both the outdoor stadium where the RedBlacks play (along with the OttawaU football team, and the pro-soccer team) and the hockey arena, which is mainly used by the 67s and now...

And also, there's literally a document saying that it does apply to the Team Event, so... how do they explain that?

I wish you could still use junior scores for senior minimums, but I think not being able to use senior scores for junior minimums makes sense.

Oh come on, complain about Skate Canada's assignments all you want, but that's a silly comment. There are two Canadian senior medalists without post-Nationals assignments. One is Fabbri/Ayer, who got the bronze with our #2 & 3 dance teams out, so realistically are CAN #5. The other is Hetty Shi...

That'll be tough.

They might. Their season has been more up and down. The SC result was very strong for them. I think I'd be a bit surprised to see them go for something totally new. I could see them going full-time at IAM I guess, though I don't know if that's feasible/practical for them. If it's not, I'd think...

That was fabulous

Going by the Skate Scores website: Cranberry Cup – 30.15 TES, attempted a 3Lz-3Lo combo that was < and got -5s, level 3 on two spins and the steps Autumn Classic – 30.14 TES, combo was 3Lz!-3T< (mainly -3s), 3Fq (mainly -1s), level 3 on one spin and the steps GP Skate Canada – 28.32 TES, fell...

For sure. And she would have known as well that she was otherwise very likely to get a 4CCs spot, given the Canadian women's field. So evidently she/her team were prepared to prioritize YOG over 4CCs, which I can understand giving that it's a somewhat unique event that doesn't occur every year...
