And without 3A and quad(s) it is not enough to get into the team these days anyway.

Definitely not, if it's RusFed.

I wish both of them good luck. It means we will see both of them more at international competitions. If they get the citizenships in time for the Olympics maybe we will even see them there in Beijing.

Gubanova will represent Georgia and not Armenia as it was previously reported

I'm sooo pleased that we probably will see so much more of Nastya Gubanova. Been hoping for it for a long time, since it was clear as a day how much RusFed hates her. She's in my personal top 3 Russian Women of the last decade. Go, Nastya!

So Gubanova is released. Good for her.

 

Now waiting for confirmation that Talalaikina is released too.

Evgenia Medvedeva has entered Moscow State University, Higher School of Policy in Culture and Management in the Sphere of Humanities.  No idea what sort of degree she is going to do. So… I don’t think she’ll much time left for extracurricular activities like competitive skating.

Is there an entry list for the Russian test skates? 

 

Yes, @Anni posted it here:

 

We can have a thread for it if there is enough interest.

So the US has suspended issuing visas to Russians, not just the athletes. The only exception is diplomatic visa.

 

It's likely that Russian athletes can't enter SkAM (except for a few).

 

Will there be any troubles for Russian athletes coming to IDF and SCI?

Hiya, guys, a number of skaters had to withdraw from test skates due to medical problems.

Stephanova seems to have recurring back problem for so long now, it's very unfortunate. 

 

Daniil tho, the kid has disappeared for so long now, what's Eteri doing?

 

As for the others, injuries seem to be recent. Again, very unfortunate.
