Is that code for "suck it up Hungary and the Netherlands. We're giving it to Canada and will announce it next week?"

well. NED has never ever hosted a big senior event and I am not sure past jr/small events have been THAT succesful. So one can dream that the ISU might want to review again and again if we are really REALLY capable of hosting a sr event but OK, back to reality...I suppose it will be in Ontarioooo

I heard the ISU would get back to the allotments 'this month'.

Shouldn't it be announced already?! I *might* be in the Netherlands, studying, by then; I'd so go.

The longer we have to wait, the more convinced I am that London, Ontario will be the host. The announcement could be made at Skate Canada in Kitchener.

Here is a vague statement issued by the ISU regarding the allotment of the 2012 ISU championships: Quote: 3. Allotments of ISU Championships 2012 (season 2011/2012) The Council reviewed the applications received and concluded that some additional evaluation was necessary for certain Championships . Decisions and communication of the provisional allotments for the 2012 Championships are expected during the month of November 2009 .

I am SO HOPING Worlds will be in Canada (not that I wouldn't love to go to Europe), but by 2012 I may actually be able to afford to go again, even if it's at the other end of the country. And I'll make a side trip afterward (Montreal, Ottawa, NY ?)

This would be great though 2012 will mark my return to the world championships scene whatever place it takes
