ITA. I truly want them as champions ,but I am very perplexed and worried. I hope all is well . It could be fine for all we know.

Just for the men (down to 5 entries). After P/C's withdrawal ACI still has the minimum of 6 ice dance entries (10) from at least 4 ISU Members (6).
I think providing they get their levels, this likely won't happen. Had they had a strong technical performance at Euros 2020 they would've won - albeit still with a slimmer margin than in previous years. I think the podium is going to be P/C S/K and either H/D,C/B,G/P but the combination and order will depend on technical on the day but also program choice - I think a good RD could be make or break this year.
Well, it depends on what they look like now. The pre Beer Burden P&C would have been the frontrunners. Right now, we don't actually know what shape they're in or what their skating looks like. I hope they are back in form and ready to go.
It's at 11am in Montreal - if you have to pay like last time I'd really like to know the 8 teams beforehand!
Well, yes, that's the question. Assuming they are in top form (which I imagine they would be unless they are/have been injured....remember, they still trained last season), they'll likely be 1st or 2nd. Given the gap in scores between S/K and the rest of the podium at Worlds, I doubt H/D or G/P have a realistic chance of beating P/C unless P/C don't skate well and/or have horrible programs. The latter is unlikely and the first depends on how prepared they are for competition.
There's an announcement on their website (thanks for the heads-up!): https://www.iceacademyofmontreal.com/iamlive
I think last year we had access for 24 hours ? Hope it's the same.
Thanks. Not that enticing for me

eta.. Not a slight on them, just feel I have already seen them and/or can wait til they compete.
Quarantine rules for foreign travelers no longer apply after September 7th.
so is there 8 teams or 7? This list shows 8 but the I.A.M shows 7. As Fabbri/Ayer are my fav.team and they are not on the list of 7 it does make a difference to me.Thanks. Not that enticing for me

There are eight. If you click on the link you will seee Harris / Chan AUS.
Fabbri/Ayer are not on the list they sent via email today
I hope it does not mean they are ill or injured. They are scheduled to skate at the Challenger Lombardia Trophy. As our crappy Skate Canada did not put them on the national team this seems to be their only international event this year so I hope they do not miss it.
Why would they have been on the national team? And in any case, even if they were they wouldn't have gotten any more fall assignments, they aren't eligible for the Grand Prix beyond the SCI host spot that Sales & Wamsteeker got.
they still might get to events like Egna Trophy or the Mentor Cup hopefully! And they could also get one of the 4CC spots
4CC is definitely on the table (there's probably four or five teams right now competing for three berths). But Skate Canada generally doesn't do the second-half minor internationals at the senior level unless somebody needs minimums.
We are very strong in Canada in ice dance. Skate Canada can add teams at their disgression. You could throw a dime and take your pick between Carolane& Shane, Haley&Nickolas and Alicia&Paul. Carolane&Shane have been struggling and have not competed. Haley&Nickolas at challenge seem a bit sloppy in the free dance and Fabbri&Ayer beat them in RD by several points. Not sure why they have changed coaching teams but at challenge Fabbri andAyer were close in the free dance...and that they were apart for months as he had to have shoulder surgery with long rehab. last feb. When quebec got back on the ice at ice last July he was still in Calgary in rebhab & when he got baack to quebec he was still doiing some rehab and was limited as to what he could do.....So really I think they should have put all 3 teams on the team.
