Lia Cho, 13, breaks own Canadian junior women's record at figure skating nationals

  • Juniors began yesterday and senior competition at Centre Slush Puppie runs Friday through Sunday in Gatineau, with Skate Canada announcing Olympic selections Sunday evening shortly after.
  • Because nationals are part of an evaluation process, selectors consider seasons-long results alongside this week's performances, with Skate Canada's High Performance Development Committee exercising discretion beyond placements.
  • A tight men's duel pits Stephen Gogolev against Roman Sadovsky for Canada's lone spot, with Gogolev holding higher international scores in their fifth meeting this season.
  • Pairs favourites Deanna Stellato-Dudek and Maxime Deschamps remain expected selections despite finishing last at December's Grand Prix Final, while ice dancers Piper Gilles and Paul Poirier are also expected to be named.
  • With singles medal prospects slim, the team event offers Canada a realistic path to contention as the country is ranked fourth in the world despite no recent solo podium finishes.
