Reaching Beijing in the nick of time, Keegan Messing turns out strong short program performance.
His presence in Beijing was in jeopardy all of last week as he isolated in a Vancouver hotel after a positive COVID-19 test. He missed Team Canada’s charter flight to China and didn’t leave Canada until Saturday,He arrived in Beijing on Sunday, about 24 hours before he skated.
His only missteps came late in the 2-minute, 40-second program, when perhaps fatigue contributed to a couple of wobbles in his step sequence. Keegan Messing, of Canada, competes during the men's short program figure skating competition at the 2022 Winter Olympics, Tuesday, Feb. 8, 2022, in Beijing. It was an impressive show of skating for much of the night at the nearly empty arena, where spectators are limited because of COVID-19. The top three skaters — Chen and the Japan duo of Yuma Kagiyama and Shoma Uno — all landed quads that looked effortless and all scored more than 105 points.
