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.

How Vieira is transforming Palace

A cursory glance at the Premier League table suggests little has changed for Crystal Palace this season. In fact, with only one win from their opening seven games, they are three points worse off than they were at the same stage of the last campaign. And yet, despite middling results, the mood around the club is one of renewed optimism. Roy Hodgson provided stability but Patrick Vieira is striving for something more. It only takes a visit to Selhurst Park to see how supporters are responding. Last month’s 3-0 victory over Tottenham, played in a feverish atmosphere in the south-London sunshine, offered a tantalising glimpse of what the future might look like. In fact, the third goal, scored by Odsonne Edouard after fine work from Michael Olise and Connor Gallagher, was a neat encapsulation of the club’s change of direction under Vieira.
