Keegan Messing, the Alaska Olympian stuck in Canada because of COVID-19 protocols, is getting negative test results and Team Canada is trying to remain positive about getting him to China in time to compete at the Olympics
96 hours before his scheduled departure to Beijing last week, according to reports from a number of Canadian news sources.
Messing, a 30-year-old who lives in Anchorage and has dual citizenship, won Canada’s national championship last month to secure his second straight Olympics spot.He returned to Anchorage briefly before heading back to Canada, where he thought he would board a charter flight to Beijing with other Canadian athletes.
Now that Messing has produced two consecutive negative results, the Canadian Olympic Committee is looking for a way to get him to Beijing in time for the men’s short program Tuesday afternoon — something that appears as difficult as a triple axel, Skate Canada official Mike Slipchuk told reporters Thursday.
