YESSSSSSSSS! :hap57:

Glad they made the right move, instead of inviting a lower level couple.

Alexandra PAUL / Mitchell ISLAM scratched from NHK Trophy.

Alexandra PAUL / Mitchell ISLAM scratched from NHK Trophy.

Do they give a reason?

Tatiana Volosozhar has an injury to her heel and she cannot land her jumps without being in pain.
The presence of Volosozhar/Trankov at NHK Trophy is in doubt.

Not yet, it's an ISU tweet.

VERY sorry to hear both of these things! Best of luck to them in recovering!

It's confirmed, Volosozhar/Trankov will not take part in NHK Trophy.

No Canadian Russian Showdown.

 

[whatif]

Well, I suspect, TEB sp is the last time we saw them in international competition.

 

[Crossover]

No Canadian Russian Showdown.

Yeah, that is not gonna happen until the Worlds in Boston.
One will go to Euros, the other'll go to 4CC; different continents.

Why do you think so? Do you think that her injury is fake and they are actually just afraid of competition? I don't believe that. They were scored very highly at the TEB SP for what they did there + they have said at least a few times that they didn't expect to beat Duhamel/Radford and Sui/Han this season anyway. But their TEB score showed that they could still be competitive if they skated clean or close to it - especially if Duhamel/Radford and/or Sui/Han made mistakes.

Or not going to happen at all this season. V/T have said (I don't remember in which article/s it was, so don't ask me to link it - it was posted on their fan thread or the Russian thread here or at FSUniverse) that they are concentrating on Europeans this season, want to win that title back, but are not committed to further than that (for this season).

Great Britain's Amani Famcy and Chris Boyadji are replacing V/T

They are having a big turn around.
From spliiting up at Nebelhorn, to reconciling, to bronze at the tallinn trophy to now a grand prix assignment.

Oh wow, wonderful news for them! Very shocking really, but I am very happy for them and their turn around!

Good Heavens! I'd missed that they'd got back together - I'm glad they're doing so well.
