Chock & Bates must be non-thrilled.

Between this and the possibility of Russia being allowed a neutral slot, they’re no longer a sure thing for an individual medal.

It will be interesting to see how fast F-B gets her French citizenship (as opposed to the US where it seems to take several years). 

How does that work? Don’t they train in Montreal? It seems crazy that Christina Carriera has been commuting between Montreal and the US for years to maintain residency, while Fournier Beaudry might squeeze out French citizenship in under a year. If Cizeron is gunning for another Olympic medal, I doubt he’d commit to her as a partner if the citizenship change wasn’t a sure thing.

Christina trains at the IAM outpost that is near Toronto. She lives in Michigan.

She's still living in the US and commuting over the border each day for training. That's a lot of effort.

Yup. I've heard it's 90 minutes each way.
