Who is on the Canadian team?

StitchMonkey · Apr 3, 2015

Well Gabriella PAPADAKIS / Guillaume CIZERON, Meagan DUHAMEL / Eric RADFORD, Nam NGUYEN I think are required to go. On the women not sure who is required but it almost certainly will be Alaine CHARTRAND and Gabrielle DALEMAN. That leaves the second man as the only real question. J10 was second at nationals and at worlds but was 22nd. Liam Firus was third, Roman Sadovsky was fourth, Keegan Messing was fifth and Elladj Baldé was 6th. Elladj is actually their second highest competing on world standings and grand prix. So probably J10, but who knows.

And by Papadakis/ Cizeron, I'm assuming you mean Weaver/ Poje?

In the past Canada hasn't always sent the top entries... although it was mainly just Virtue/ Moir in 2013, and that was before an Olympic season.... In terms of men, I would REALLY love to see Elladj Balde get the nod. He had such an unfortunate Nationals, and really deserves another competition. Regardless, I hope he can come out fighting next season. And I also wouldn't be surprised to see a different lady (likely Mallet) sent, considering Gabby's poor worlds, and perhaps an injury(?), but there is a chance that she would not ant to compete, and they likely would understand.

Yes, i mostly just wanted to get the spellings right so resigned myself to coping and pasting and forgot to, well, pay attention.

And I would love Elladj to go, half the reason i made the post.

Since Shanghai, Jeremy Ten has tweeted at least twice to the effect that he is going to WTT.

I think it is a case (similar to USFS) of Skate Canada not making an official announcement yet although it has informed skaters of their assignments.

Skater Boy · Apr 3, 2015

I am happy for J10 sad for Firius but I J 10 earned his spot though he has not skated well neither has Firius. Both are kind of cheap or second tier versions of Buttle - not quite the magic or skating skills or jumps. I was hoping to see J10 maybe een get top ten but he barely made he finals. So sad. He would have to skate clean because he doesn't have the skills of Buttle. IMHO if he were more consistent with the jumps he should be treated like Brown though Brown has the magic it factor with judges and the US backing it seems so he gets the benefit of he doubt. j ten has a wonderful joy, a nice lilt and smoothness when he is on. That's life. Happy for Jeremy he went to world's and hopefully he can move on happy with the memories of going to worlds and WTT. Sadly he probably won't be remembered by most other than us diehards and his family and friends but I always thought he had huge potential. Liam is younger and maybe he will make his mark on the world. I don't think we will see J ten back for a miracle return. If chan returns and Nam gets stronger and Reynolds comes back fighting forget about Liam or Balde or Roman or anyone else J ten knows his days are numbered.

4everchan · Apr 3, 2015

at this point, even reynolds days are numbered.... chan and nam seem like it's the deal for the next while... hopefully they get to qualify 3 men for canada but canada's #3 isn't the greatest spot to be in for sure. I agree with your comments about the wonderful flow J10 gets when he is on... I simply wish him the best so he can retire happy and satisfied. I think he approached the nationals with retirement in mind and surprisingly qualified... so all of this is bonus.

Sackie · Apr 4, 2015

Any word on Daleman and how her knee is now? Hope she can skate better here then at worlds. Another chance for Chartrand to improve her ranking with a good free skate here. But given the entries here it is not looking good for good placements for either Can Lady unless others have big errors and the judges mark them fairly. Which I don't count on happening.

Skater Boy · Apr 4, 2015

Also the odds are both Wagner and Gold will skate well as both messed up their shorts at worlds They need to hope they can beat one of the Americans realistically and maybe a Japanese, the Chinese and French ladies. It is possible or doable.

Hope that Eric is feeling back to normal.
And I hope that it is a small consolation for him that Team Canada so far is way ahead in the goofy-hats war

Even Voronov and Kovtun defected

to Team Canada, at least for this photo op:

(StitchMonkey, I hope that you are reading this post, LOL

. But I think Meaghan's behavior is a special case this time b/c Eric had food poisoning.)
