It is not confirmed yet, but a rumor is that Nancy Damianova and Elise Hopfner-Hibbs have been chosen for the Canadian Olympic Team. Kristina Vaculick deserved the spot over Nancy in my opinion.
That’s the general consensus, honestly, amongst coaches here at the Canadian Championships.
In reality, Nancy and Kristina are close — even if you disregard the bizarre point system used for selection. Either athlete is a good second choice after Elise. I would rank Kristina slightly ahead of Nancy, but it is a close decision.
The latest rumour is that Nancy’s coach Katerine Dussault has been named coach.
If true, that’s an idiotic decision. Elise’s coach Carol-Angela Orchard has far more international experience and is the obvious choice.
