"Gogolev and Sadovsky arrived as co-favourites for their fifth head-to-head competition this season. The matchup marked their final showdown with Canada's one men's singles spot in February's Milan Cortina Winter Games on the line. The full Olympic figure skating team will be announced Sunday evening. Skate Canada's selection is not based solely on results at nationals, but on a body of work over the past couple seasons."
"Stephen Gogolev is one step closer to the Olympic Games. The 21-year-old from Toronto captured his first national title Saturday at the Canadian figure skating championships. Skating to "Piano Concerto No. 2" by Sergei Rachmaninov, Gogolev landed two quad jumps to score 175.90 points in his free program, pushing his total to 275.50 after a stellar short program Friday. Roman Sadovsky, the 2025 men's champion, claimed the silver medal with 255.10 points, climbing to second from fourth after the short program."
Stephen Gogolev, 21, of Toronto won his first Canadian men's national title with a 275.50 total after a free skate that included two quadruple jumps and a 175.90 free program score. Roman Sadovsky earned silver with 255.10, moving from fourth to second, and Aleksa Rakic took bronze with 246.02. Gogolev and Sadovsky entered as co-favourites and their final head-to-head placed Canada's lone men's Olympic spot at stake. Skate Canada will announce the full Olympic team Sunday and bases selections on a multi-season body of work rather than nationals alone. Piper Gilles and Paul Poirier scored a rhythm dance personal best of 93.11.
