1. Alternate Women: Alaine Chartrand? 1. Alternate Women (Junior)?

It looks possible for Canada to get 3 Olympic spots for each discipline. Team Event OGM looks highly probable as well.

This is a very strong Canada contingent.

Here's hoping!

Men's will be the biggest question mark for 3 spots. A top 5 for Chan is realistic, but I don't know if Reynolds can make the top 8 with the ISU judges probably scrutinizing his URs way more -- although I'm glad he's upped his game with an additional quad.

Women's is very hopeful (Osmond looks poised to make top 4, maybe even medal; Daleman should be top 10 especially if she has her usual strong SP).

Pairs is very likely with D/R probably making the podium and then S/B likely making top 10 (I'm hopefully for I/M too, but not quite sure if they'll make top 10 given their SBS issues).

Ice Dance is a foregone conclusion with V/M making top 2 most definitely, and W/P and G/P only having to make top 10 (and it would be highly unlikely for either of them not to make top 10, at that).

1. Alternate Women: Alaine Chartrand? 1. Alternate Women (Junior)?

Skate Canada doesn't usually post alternates on its international assignments pages...But when the entries show up on the ISU site, you will see additional Canadians with "S" beside their names who are alternates....and usually there is more than one "S" alternate listed to avoid not having someone who can go.
