Skate Canada followed protocol in naming its team for the 2007 Tokyo world championships.
But there were some slight changes for next month's Four Continents Championship in Colorado Springs.
Vancouver's Mira Leung has elected to skip the event, so former national champion Cynthia Phaneuf of Contrecoeur, Que., goes in her place. She joins three-time Canadian champion Joannie Rochette of Ile-Dupas, Que., and Lesley Hawker (a.k.a. Mrs. Doherty to regular readers and fans of this blog) of Barrie, Ont.
In ice dance, Kitchener-Waterloo, Ont., based Kaitlyn Weaver and Andrew Poje have elected to skip Four Continents and instead will use the world junior championships (Feb. 26-March 4 in Oberstdorf, Germany) as their warmup for the Tokyo worlds.
Lauren Senft of North Vancouver, B.C., and Winnipeg's Leif Gislason head to Colorado Springs in their place.
The rest of the world junior team includes Toronto's Patrick Chan, Kevin Reynolds of Coquitlam, B.C., and Joey Russell of Labrador City, N.L. (men); Myriane Samson of St-Jean-sur-Richelieu, Que. (women); Carolyn MacCuish of Burlington, Ont., and Andrew Evans of Caledon East, Ont., and Amanda Velenosi of Laval, Que., and Montreal's Mark Fernandez (pairs); Vanessa Crone of Aurora, Ont., and Paul Poirier of Unionville, Ont., and Barrie's Joanna Lenko and Mitchell Islam (ice dance).

Wow... isn't that odd? Why on earth would Mira skip Worlds?? *confused*
If you read it again you will see she has opted to skip Four Continents.
Oops, my bad.
