Who the hell is A/U in dance?

Agafanova/Ucar.

Thanks, I'll fix it. I was hoping to avoid upsetting people like I managed to do elsewhere by spelling a last name wrong.

Whoops! I forgot about them

To avoid misspelings it's best to copy names from entry list

I hope Yulia does well in the women's competition! It would be nice if she goes to a second grand prix...

Since she withdrew from one event she is not eligible to substitute in another.

To avoid misspelings it's best to copy names from entry list

One of the problems that I've noticed is that the ISU seems to have its own ideas about how to do the transliteration of Russian Cyrillic and other names that are not in the Latin alphabet.

So, familiar names and transcriptions such as Lipnitskaya - as used by the media and on her own official English language social media - appears as Lipnitskaia in the ISU biography and therefore the entry list. I had to correct this one in my post to match the ISU version.

And the ISU version may not even be the skater's legal name in the Latin Alphabet . Lubov Ilyushechkina, for example, is legally on her immigration and Canadian documents, including Skate Canada's, as I have written it. But the ISU took 18 months to update her last name from Illiushechkina to Ilyushechkina, and when they finally did, they changed her first name to Liubov so her full name still does not match her legal name. I bet this creates real issues when she wants to get a visa and has a letter of invitation that doesn't match her legal name... (Except for Russia where she would be on her Russian passport...)

So, I'm wondering if there might need to be an update in the Guidelines to make it clear that the ISU version is the only one that should be used....

Not necessarily "wrong", just not the ISU's choice among possible transcriptions into the Latin alphabet....

:scratch3: Just because the Russian Fed wants them in the Final doesn't give them a home advantage...
