Yume Posted February 25, 2019 Share Posted February 25, 2019 So, they will submit a list....but can change the names after the deadline. Ok lol. They are trying hard. I wonder who will suddenly get injured in the next weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MeowZu Posted February 25, 2019 Share Posted February 25, 2019 So many weird things happening in Russia right now. Just freakin' decide my gosh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fay Posted February 25, 2019 Share Posted February 25, 2019 They’ve always submitted a list of main competitors and their substitutes, so there’s no need to represent this as some underhand activity. Last year Medvedeva was on the main roster, but she withdrew due to an injury, so Konstantinova took her spot. The real question is who’s on the main roster and who’s not. Zhenya is going to be in the list and is likely to train for the Worlds in case someone doesn’t make it even if she’s among substitutes. Come to think of it, Kazuki Tomono got to the Worlds due to Yuzu and Tahakito withdrawing too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luvsk8 Posted February 25, 2019 Share Posted February 25, 2019 I suspect at least one of those on the list is/are injured (most likely Alina) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MeowZu Posted February 25, 2019 Share Posted February 25, 2019 Press secretary of RusFed: “Nothing is clear yet. There is a whole month before Worlds. They could submit an extended application. Anything might happen, e.g. people might get injured. It won’t be a list of exactly three people in each discipline” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The way they expressed it is a bit vague, as 'extended application' would mean that they name six skaters without saying who are the main competitors and who're the subtitutes and they'll decide about it right before the competition. https://www.sport-express.ru/figure-skating/news/ffkkr-o-sostave-sbornoy-rossii-zayavka-na-chm-mozhet-byt-otpravlena-v-rasshirennom-vide-a-dalshe-vozmozhno-chto-ugodno-1516415/ We'll find out soon I guess...the deadline is over.

cucciolo888 Posted February 25, 2019 Share Posted February 25, 2019 Honestly RusFed is a joke. This is such a difficult season for Alina, Liza and Sofia and Federation just adds more anxiety. I feel so sorry for girls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Must be the first ever fed to want to do that. I hope that ISU will reject that list and ask Rusfed to name clearly the contenders and alternates. At this point this is just a joke.

It's unusual but it is not against any rule so ISU wouldn't reject a list like that. Only the names and date birth of competitors must be included.

Sombreuil Posted February 25, 2019 Share Posted February 25, 2019 I just saw Mikhails FS at Tallinn - yikes. I had such hopes that he’d turned a corner after that great SP at Euros but it looks like it was a one off.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WinForPooh Posted February 25, 2019 Share Posted February 25, 2019 Wow this seems pretty unfair to all the athletes involved. They probably all keep their training up no matter what of course but the stress! As if being elite figure skaters wasn't stressful enough! 38 minutes ago, Sombreuil said: I just saw Mikhails FS at Tallinn - yikes.

Is that improvement? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MeowZu Posted February 25, 2019 Share Posted February 25, 2019 The Rusfed apparently submitted same people from Europeans with the caveat that they're free to change it anytime lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They said they didn't have time to decide, so they submitted the same list 1. Konstantinova 2. Zagitova 3. Samodurova, substitutes Tuktamysheva and Medvedeva Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
