Something more telling would perhaps be to time the total time of two foot skating in one program and se how that compares. It should give a more acurate representation of how much transitions a program has. (I would exklude spead eagles and similar fs moves from this time since it really is a trasitional move eaven if it is on two feet)

I'm fairly sure Sima is on the reserve.

I'm aware, it's not very meaningful. Akatieva does have wonderful skating skills, though!
It's interesting that Valieva and Usacheva are going to the first 2 stages. Well, I'm not complaining!
I would also exclude dance steps like chassés and slides.
Generally, I think the idea of looking at the amount of two foot skating is relevant.
But a lot of laboured, stiff-kneed one foot skating with poor edges does not say anything good about skating skills.

:dumb: reminds me of those minute-long step sequence that barely travels across the ice and aims for level 4
The Russian fed should swap out Tarusina for Tarakanova - Tarakanova has a higher score; and then the last spot should be between who finishes/scores higher between Vasilieva and Tarusina. I like Tarusina but she had the lowest score of any Russian so far this season, even lower than Sinitsina.

I saw the removal on ISU entry list, however she is still listed on the results page for Nepela Trophy directly...

Thanks for the info. Eh... It is a pity I won't see Alina live, I was curious about her programs...

What? Alina withdrew? Why?
Maybe it‘s because she doesn‘t have a costume, yet. Didn‘t she say something about “we haven’t even thought about it“ during an interview after the test skates and nobody believed it? Maybe it‘s really true after all.
Now the info is that she had to WD because her travel documents weren't filled out correctly, but that seems totally bizarre. I mean she's been competing internationally for 2 years, how does that just happen?

That smells a little fishy for sure.
I mean if she’s not ready why not just say that.

Yeah, I read it in her fanfest. This reason doesn‘t seem all too believable but as long as she herself is fine, it should be okay... I just hope it‘s not an injury, I‘m still having that Zhenya-trauma. But for now I‘ll just believe she‘s healthy and look forward to Japan Open.

In Slovakia specifically, I think so, but she's competed in Europe before many times. So applying for EU visa should be a familiar process.

I would say it is not entirely not plausible, considering the new sanctions coming out every year. It could happen that the border control is a bit stricter too.
Also all sort of weird border stuff can happen. For example, once i was travelling from Russia to Brazil. I had 2 connections, in Amsterdam (12hrs) and in London (12hrs). So in amsterdam, i left the airport and did some tourist stuff. On my way back, I passed the border control after midnight, but appearently they messed up their stamps, so I ended up having stamped in my passport that I left amsterdam early in the morning, and then arrived in amsterdam in the evening. Once i got to London and wanted to also go check out the city, guess if border control let me out? Nope, they told me my passport is weird, I didnt get it stamped when i first arrived in amsterdam, nor when i left, and all the story is not very plausibe and they are not letting me in period.
Weird **** can happen, all it takes is 1 strict guy on the passport control.
