Nobody on the Canadian team is likely to be a strong individual medal contender other than Gilles & Poirier (and even they are probably going to be more of an underdog shot), so the Canadian fed will be all-in on the team event.I'm already thinking ahead to the team event at the Olympics. I'm guessing that SC will choose split the men, with Keegan doing the SP and the other choice (likely Nam or Roman) taking the FP. I'm still unsure whether they will split the pairs or dance (with one team much more likely to perform well than the others, in each discipline)
It'll be the strongest entrant in each discipline doing both (obviously in ladies there'll be only one to begin with), unless there's a strong reason to the contrary. If we'd been having the team event last season, I would have had Keegan do the short and Nam do the free, since Keegan was pretty consistent in the short but couldn't do a clean-ish free to save his life. If Keegan continues on the trajectory he's been on this season, however, there's no reason to switch him out for the free.
As of right now, I would guess the full team will be Keegan, Madeline, KMT & Michael and Piper & Paul. Everybody else will be the cheering section.
