And then there were two.
There was high expectations for our Canadian pairs teams to earn 3 spots a next year's Olympics but it wasn't to be.
2008 Bronze medalists, Jessica Dube and Bryce Davison, couldn't repeat the magic from last year and turned in a flawed performance that earned them a seventh place finish.
Right behind the Canadian champions, was the second Canadian team of Meagan Duhamel and Craig Buntin in eighth place. They also turned in a flawed free skate.
With those two results and a combined total of 15 points Canada's hopes of sending 3 pairs teams to the Olympic Games disappeared.
The one high note for Canadians was the performance of Mylene Brodeur and John Mattatall who placed 10th in their worlds debut meaning that Canada place 3 teams in the top 10.
How did I do with my predictions? Well I won't be doing the handicapping in Vegas any time soon.
