Canada’s Keegan Messing ninth in Olympic short program, qualifies for free skate

Finally in Beijing after flying across the planet, Canada’s Keegan Messing qualified for the free skate at the Beijing Olympics on Tuesday.

The Canadian champion scored 93.24 in the short program to INXS’ Never Tear Us Apart. Messing finished ninth and will be one of the 24 skaters in the free skate on Thursday .

American Nathan Chen ranked first of the short program with a world-record score of 113.97 to the sound of Charles Aznavour’s La Boheme. Chen has his eyes set on Olympic gold after two-time Olympic champion Yuzuru Hanyu of Japan dropped to eighth with a 95.15 having missed his opening quad salchow.

Messing arrived in Beijing less than 48 hours before the start of the competition and could only fit a single practice on Monday morning.

The 30-year-old needed to fulfil a fourth negative COVID test in Montreal before getting the green light to fly to Milan and finally land in China. The delay made him miss the team event.

“I pulled out my phone and seeing my pictures with full beard and I was like ‘Oh, hey I forgot to shave.’ I didn’t even have time to shave since arriving here in Beijing to hop on the ice for first practice,” Messing told CBC. “It sure was a whirlwind.”

Back in 2018, Messing ranked 12th of the men’s single skating event at his first Olympic Games in Pyeongchang.

Ladies Who Shaved Their Private And Public Hair Needs To Know This

Many women practice waxing or shaving as methods of removing body hair. Still, a recent research has shown that this habit is dangerous and it must be stopped right away. This research was carried out by a team of scientists led by Andrea De Maria and it was published in the “American Diary of Obstetrics and Gynecology”. The results of the research have indicated that eighty seven percent of women go to the beauty salon to get their private intimate parts waxed, while ninety percent of all women shave their pubic hair on a regular basis. Nevertheless, De Maria claims that women should not wax or shave their private parts. As De Maria explains, the skin in the genital region is pretty sensitive and vulnerable to infection, particularly when there are small cuts and wounds on the surface of the skin caused during the process of shaving or waxing. This region also contains a great number of sweat glands and this means that this region is perfect for the growth of bacteria. Event...
