MILAN — Canadian figure skaters Deanna Stellato-Dudek and Maxime Deschamps will not compete in the team event at the Milan Cortina Olympics due to an injury Stellato-Dudek sustained during training, the Canadian Olympic Committee announced Monday.

Canadian champions Lia Pereira and Trennt Michaud will compete in the pairs portion of the team event instead.

Stellato-Dudek and Deschamps, the 2024 world champions, have not yet withdrawn from the individual pairs event.

The COC says Stellato-Dudek’s condition will be monitored on a day-to-day basis to see if she can compete.

Team competition starts Friday, with the individual pairs short program scheduled for Feb. 14.
