This is going to be such a strange competition - but I'm glad that the athetes are being sensible (for a change!)

seems like some sort of sensibility is making the round...I mean she was already injured and nationals and olympics are still coming so another week or so of rest is surely the more sensible decision

I expected and was prepared for it but it's still painful now it's official.

So sad. But still it's good that she prioritizes her health first. Get well soon, Zhenya! Come back stronger than ever!!

this is horrible  take care evgenia, i hope you recover well!!

Aaaah... just after I read Boyang's withdrawal. Wishing her a speedy recovery.

Her health comes first now and it's a wise decision that she decided to WD. GPF is the least important event out of the four competitions anyway. I really hope that she will be healthy and ready for Nationals. Get better soon, Zhenya! 

 

 

Sad news all around... Get well soon Zhenya!

Cursed. Wow. 

 

Also, hoping she gets the rest she needs and will be back better than ever next year!

This is the day of the expected but still very sad WD announcements

This decision must have costed her so much I hope she can be back to a reasonable condition for Nats. Slay Zhenya! Here, have a fight!zuzu as encouragment

I'm relieved. I was so nervous that her team will put her to compete injured. I guess that she's very sad and depressed now as she earned to be there but I hope she has close people around her to move on and focus on RN and Europeans. 

 

This is probably the most strange GPG in the recent years.... so many top athletes injured.... 

I wish Evgenia a speedy recovery. No need to risk it in a comp that she won twice already, she will comeback stronger.  

 

Sad to hear it, but expected it.

Rather have her WD than stressing herself to the point of worse injury in an Olympic year.

 

Something more cheerful:
