Was is really necessary to laugh like this at the logic viewpoint of someone else? What I said was not off the wall, and very well could be the truth. We will not know until the event starts. What I do know right now is that you are really rude.
There are 2 days between the mens LP in the team competition and the individual competition. Still a quick turn-around, but not as you have it written.
Your "logic viewpoint" is illogical, though. Why would Jason arrive later than the rest of the skaters participating in the TE? He's going to arrive approximately a week before the Men's event begins. Vincent and K/F, it would seem, are arriving a week before the TE begins. The LOGICAL deduction is that Jason will NOT be doing the TE since he is arriving only 3-4 days before the TE begins. That's how logic works. And, also, logic doesn't give a damn about your hurt little feelings because you think I was rude to laugh at your illogical grasping at the last straws of hope that Jason is going to be used in the TE.
This assumes that test results will be negative. If positive, it’s off to the 25 sq-ft “isolation facility” for several days, until they test negative!
Well, exactly - having the athletes that will be used for the TE leave later this week rather than early next week hopefully gives them time to test negative if they don't clear the first airport test.

All of the arriving athletes are required to isolate in their hotel rooms until their airport PCR tests come back - then they're allowed to enter the closed loop bubble.This article confirms Jason's arrival on the 31st. Interesting that it says he will be required to isolate upon arrival.
Skating to ‘Schindler’s List,’ figure skater Jason Brown to make second trip to Winter Olympics
A trip to Yad Vashem in Israel left a lasting impression on the Jewish Olympian.
Seriously? I do not care if Jason is used in the TE! I wanted Ilia to be on the Olympic team........Your verbal harassment throughout this post is just uncalled for.
Verbal harassment? Now I know you're just trolling.
No, lol. But, wasn't there a report last week, after Euros, that the Russian Coaches Council had voted to have Kondratiuk do the TE for them? I think Kolyada was already out of consideration before this withdrawal.
I’m not reading much into the departure dates. Some may just want to get into the bubble and not have to worry about it.
I don't know what Canada's strategy or outlook is this year, so it's hard to say. I don't know that there is likely to be a different result in using Sadovsky in the FS instead of Messing, so it could make sense to split them.
I was wondering if they'd split men. Keegan is by far our best, however he's 'old' and has a baby at home so has probably been sleep deprived all season. Keegan could reasonably place anywhere from 3-5 in either program. Roman could be anywhere from 3rd to last.
I have a feeling Canada won't be a huge medal threat after the SPs and Roman can skate the LP to give Keegan a breather for the individual event. With the USA and Japan in the finals, it probably wouldn't make much a difference who skates that segment anyways even if Roman has a meltdown skate.
Except IMO Japan is a for sure in the top 5 final and that means FB/S aren't finishing lower than 4th in the FD, potentially 3rd if China is also there instead of Italy. So that switch of G/P for RD and FB/S for FD wouldn't make a huge difference if anything at all. I think pairs would be split over dance, though, unless Skate Canada asked the National Champions what they wanted. In that case maybe Moore-Towers decided she wanted pairs all to herself, because..
As the National champ, does Mariah get to choose whether to do the TE or not? Of course she would be foolish to say no.
No idea. Per the US Selection Criteria doc, the IC Discipline Committee would have ranked the 3 team members and whomever they ranked #1 gets first right of refusal.
H/D as national champs in 2018 did not. I feel like they’re looking a lot at international results.
Way back on page 10 of this thread, @Karen-W shared the actual selection criteria and it seems quite clear upon review. Based on medal chances, international results, not on nationals results. Nothing to add other than to resurface this post and say that I agree.
The Shibs also had the higher WS and beat them (and C/B) at the GPF a month earlier.
Alysa's GP scores and placements were higher than Mariah's, as well as her SB and her WS so I'm not sure I'd say it was a tossup internationally. (I know a lot of people say Alysa's Lombardia score should be ignored as the judging was lax there, but to be honest Mariah's SB also seemed a bit inflated.)
No, Alysa's GP scores were NOT higher than Mariah's. Mariah scored 190.79 at IdF and 210.35 at Rostelecom. Alysa scored 206.35 at SCI and 202.90 at NHK. Mixed bag, IMO.
I certainly hope that they don't use age or whether a skater has a baby at home as a rationale for not choosing a skater.
Is there such a thing as 100 percent in fs?- or in any sport?
