Just out of curiosity, I changed all the GOE's for the non-jump elements in Nathan and Yuzu's programs to all 1's and all 5's.  There's only a 12-13 point difference, which is less than a decently performed 4 toe.  No wonder Yuzu only spends 5 mins a week on his spins.

 Kolyada's absence has nothing to do with skating (at least i don't see a connection between sinusitis and quads except maybe skating prevented him from getting proper treatment for it earlier). 

All I have to add here is that sinusitis gives me (someone with bad ears) vertigo, so I imagine it could make someone pretty dizzy if they are rotating quickly for jumps and spins - dizzy enough to cause headaches and/or be dangerous.
