Team Canada is more than safe for silver, but they're unlikely for gold. Russia now has 2 pairs who can outscore every Canadian pair, the women need no explanation, ice dance is where Canada gains some points back (only if Tessa & Scott do both programs) but it's not much, and men... it was already dicey with a Patrick in top shape but at the moment he hasn't even returned to training.
Individually: ice dance seems to favor the French and pairs... it's a toss-up; I don't think it's likely for Duhamel & Radford to win, but it's not out of the question or even to medal. Osmond will medal if she's clean but she hasn't ever done it; even doing what she did at Worlds with 6 triples won't be enough this year. Men... I don't think Patrick will medal.
i know some of us in the fan fest joke a lot about Patrick's whereabouts and activities...but "officially" he said he skipped on nhk to train...so can you tell us how you can write confidently that he hasn't returned to training? Or are you just sharing your opinion as fact?
