Seems like in Italian Team the situation is quite similar with the spots issues: www.artonice.it/?q=en/node/12898
It's basically the same, but sending Zandron instead of Bacchini is much more ridiculous than sending Kovtun instead of Menshov.

Yes, Gosviani is risky.If gosviani doesn't have her jumps - in fact if any of the Russians don't have there jumps -there pcs will be worse than either leonOvas or Makarovas!! If tuktamisheva gets 53 than gosviani at best will ge 43
But you need good pcs. Liza is not getting anywhere with 53 pcs and the top contenders will all get 65 to 70 making her jumps meaningless. Leonova almost reached 60 in pcs in 2012 worlds. Mao can do two triples in a free skate and win an event! Pcs is the most important thing in ladies skating. Then steps than spins than jumps. Russia is going to send all these people who can jump sometimes and none of them will be top 5- hopefully top 10. Probably top 10 but the pcs is so bad.
Ira VANNUT http://www.isuresults.com/bios/isufs00010708.htmThere was a really promising Belgian lady a couple of years back. She was injured last year and isn't on the team again this year.
I can't even recall her name, but she had excellent technique landed 7 triples in her FS and was top 10 c. 2010....anyone got a name/news?
Cheers

Looks like that decision got reversed now.
I wonder why the 3rd placed lady at Italian Nationals (Giada Russo) isn't even on the substitute list...
Italian federation's decisions are very often .
I believe, age must not be a problem. Many very young girls in past had good results (Asada etc, and yes, Tara Lipinski).(...)
So, Russo wasn't considered from the beginning. She's very young though (15), and Rodeghiero and Rio are both much more experienced, so this choice doesn't surprise me. Being the best junior lady, she'll probably get the Junior Worlds spot.
That's correct :yes:I believe, age must not be a problem. Many very young girls in past had good results (Asada etc, and yes, Tara Lipinski).
Giada Russo has only two triples - 3T and 3S, and they are not stable enough, as shows her JGP Event.
Two other mentioned Ladies have three triples.
So (for me) it looks not as "she is excluded", rather "she doesn't meet the requrements while two others meet".
For example Elena Vodorezova at 1976, when she was 12. There were no age limits, and she was at Euro, Worlda and Olympics, because she was best of Ladies in USSR.I believe, age must not be a problem. Many very young girls in past had good results (Asada etc, and yes, Tara Lipinski).
Really an unlucky season for them...It looks like Tobias & Stagniunas are out of euros due to him being injured. :/
