I don't know how it worked for her but I heard Australia could be quite harsh with non-national residents who fall ill, like her. She lived in Moscow at the time she died. 27 minutes ago, FlyingCamel said: Not sure if senior GP will go as well I am sorry it got cancelled.

But those with overseas training bases are affected badly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlyingCamel Posted July 20, 2020 Share Posted July 20, 2020 It's looking as if we won't be getting any major international competitions for the remainder of 2020 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EternalSpin Posted July 20, 2020 Share Posted July 20, 2020 Oh no... I'm pretty sure too they will cancel the senior GP. I thought I was prepared for this, but And all the national competitions everyone is talking about, when will they take place? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I don't think a lot of countries has national events or at least competitive once, so small feds will be affected too. Considering senior GPs decision should be in a month I don't see how situation will change, only if financial reasons are different for senior series.

Zoom/Skype training/choreo it is then. For Yuzu it's not new situation, so I am only worried about him training that one jump without coach... I wonder if Jun can have some temporary Korean coach, for him it might be harder. Also both Spanish ID pairs are training abroad and they will meet only at Nats again to fight for that one world's spot. It's not like Boyang have competition in his country and that's examples I can think of fast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is why I wondered if it had been her choice, or if she had been forced to leave Australia. (I don't have a deep knowledge, I just happened to consider a three-year expat there a few years ago, and was surprised by the difference in policies, with France for instance, and her diagnosis of a condition reminded it me).

It is perfectly natural she came back to Russia after her career was over - her family lives here. Given that her retirement coincided with coronavirus pandemic, and there were very few chances of starting a new career in Australia, what did you expect from a 20-year old girl? Could we please stop here? No need to cast dirt into Australian health services - they just had nothing to do with Katya’s death. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry, I was not even thinking about Australian health services and wished in no way to cast any dirt on anybody. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
