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.

NHL exec Colin Campbell explains league’s schedule goals in Canada

NHL senior executive vice president Colin Campbell says the league would like to try to preserve as many full-capacity home games as possible for Canadian fans, but acknowledges other factors are at play in redoing the schedule during the current COVID-19 surge. “You’d like to give the fans the opportunity to go to as many games as they can. They’ve already been shortchanged in the last year and a half … shortchanged completely watching hockey here in Canada,” Campbell said in an interview on the Real Kyper and Bourne show on Sportsnet 590 The Fan on Friday. “It’s a rite of passage to watch the world juniors this time of year for all young kids. I remember growing up watching it. Now, it’s cancelled. We’re trying to save as much as we can and delay it.” The NHL postponed nine more games on Friday because of arena capacity issues in Canada — with teams being allowed anywhere from zero fans (Montreal Canadiens) to 50 per cent capacity (Calgary Flames, Edmonton Oilers, Vancouver Can...
