Skate Canada Names Teams for 2024 ISU Championships
January 14, 2024/by Skate Canada

CALGARY, AB (January 14, 2024) – Following the completion of the 2024 Canadian National Skating Championships, Skate Canada has named its teams for two upcoming ISU Championships. The week-long championships were held at Calgary’s WinSport Arena from January 8-14, 2024 and featured junior and senior skaters across the men’s, women’s, pair, ice dance, and synchronized skating disciplines.

Skate Canada has a robust selection criterion for each ISU Championships to undertake the selection of athletes and teams who will represent Canada at these events. Skate Canada’s selection criteria for ISU Championships can be found on skatecanada.ca. Athletes competing at the 2024 ISU World Figure Skating Championships in Montreal, Canada, will be announced at a later date.

Not mentioned in the press release above are any alternates.

On the ISU 4CC Entries, however, there are some mentioned in two disciplines. https://results.isu.org/events/fsevent00117464.htm
No alternates listed in women or pairs (even though there are skaters with minimums) but Matthew Newnham is listed as an alternate in Men and three alternates are listed in dance - Lauriault/LeGac, Bachynska/Beamont, and Fabbri/Ayer.

I am assuming that the results at 4CC will play a role in the naming of the Worlds team.

The delay in naming Syncho entries is, at least in part, due to the fact that their world championships happen later in the year and there are several competition opportunities between now and then for the CDN teams to be evaluated.

By the way, Kaiya Ruiter had already been named to the CDN Youth Olympics team, something she missed out on the last time as she was too young
