But if you remove only Valieva's points, then you also have to bump up the individual female skaters, meaning Canada gets end place points for both women's segments, which placed them ahead of Russia.
Yes, it's a strange situation where you might even argue he's the best male pairs skater in Canada, and she's now the best female pairs skater in Canada, but they somehow become worse when placed together. When the announcement first happened, I think people thought they would be competing for...
They said the same thing after Liz Manley left, then after Josee left, then while Joannie and Cynthia were having trouble, then after Joannie left, and during all this time, imagine telling them a world champion was going to emerge from Canada in 2018....three years ago. Daleman may even...
Do they ever have outdoor skating competitions?
Maybe it could be something done more in figure skating as other sports do sometimes have indoor vs. outdoor events.
That's how I had interpreted it, but thanks for clarifying. I agree with the rest of your post(s) too, especially that there is some deja vu with the same complaints resurfacing.

Well, more recently than 10 years ago, just three years ago, a Canadian lady was world champion. I think they were hoping, and still hoping, that Daleman would be keeping up her previous placements. That has more to do with her missing jumps as opposed to a lack of quads and triple axels...
They've been preferring hockey to skating, for well, forever. Not exactly something new, and it's always been mostly recreational for the vast vast majority of people who go into skating. So many skaters originally were doing it alongside hockey or some other activity and then discovered they...
I just keep telling myself that we've been down this road before and surprises to seem to kinda keep coming out of nowhere.
In fear of dating myself, this has kinda been a broken record. I remember when people said it was all over after Elvis Stojko left, and there would never be a lady on the...
