Skate Canada is expected to provide an update Tuesday on the status of injured Canadian pairs skater Deanna Stellato-Dudek, a spokesperson said.
The 42-year-old Stellato-Dudek, the 2024 world champion alongside partner Maxime Deschamps, was set to become the oldest female figure skater in nearly a century to compete at the Olympics before a training accident in Quebec put her participation in doubt.
Stellato-Dudek and Deschamps remain in Canada after withdrawing from the figure skating team event, which concluded Sunday. The individual pairs competition is scheduled for Feb. 15-16 at Milano Ice Skating Arena.
