I hope the rest don’t end up positive. Does this mean Ilia Malinin gets to skate?

No, because Vincent already competed in the team event, they aren't allowed to use an alternate for him.

They already published the start order. Once they publish the start order they can’t send an alternate. Plus there the men skate tonight so there is no chance he could get there in time.

REALLY worried for the rest of the US figure skating team

I don’t know. Maybe it’s similar to bowling where strength can make a difference, even if your aim is precise.

is there any Olympic sport that is not?

There are a few Olympic sailing events that are mixed.

There are mixed curling teams too. It's doubles rather than 4 player. I don't know why there's not a 4 player mixed team though.

I am so worried for Nathan right now

I’m also still salty about Tara’s win in 98

Unfortunately he probably won’t be the last to be in this situation.

Oh my goodness, that is just heartbreaking.

The equestrian sports aren't.

And yeah, I was wondering the same thing about the curling teams. Does anybody know?
