Approximation of completed homology classes by sums of geodetic circles

Let H1^\widehat{H'_1} be the relevant completion of the homology group, and let cH1^c\in\widehat{H'_1}. A Cauchy sequence is a sequence converging in the associated metric completion. A geodetic circle is a circle for which, between every pair of points, one of its two arcs is a shortest path in the ambient metric space.

Geodetic approximation conjecture. For every cH1^c\in\widehat{H'_1}, there is a Cauchy sequence (χi)iNc(\chi_i)_{i\in\mathbb N}\in c such that every χi\chi_i is the homology class of a finite sum of geodetic circles.

The statement proposes a stronger approximation property for completed homology classes. The supplied text does not establish it or give a resolution.
