2018-19 Russian Ladies' figure skating

[zounger]

Apparently the injury was not ready yet, so we have to wait who will get injured. Someone needs to be the protagonist in Russian figure skating "Le couperet".

Do you guys think they will keep Konstantinova?

well if they want 2 spots next season, yes they should keep her for sure.

this is typical russian excuse, one of the list will be "injured"
and get subbed by Med or Tuk.

I wouldn‘t say Stasya doesn‘t deserve a spot but she doesn‘t deserve one OVER Liza

Dances: Sinitzina-Katzalapov, Stepanova-Bukin, Evdokimova-Bazin
+ three more pairs

That article (or whoever give the statement) can not be possible - Russia doesnt have three spots in ice dance for Worlds. I mean its totally unprofesional and wrong to say/write/publish something like this (even the decision about ladies roster is correct)...

“After the Russian Cup final, there was practically no time for a detailed discussion of the composition of the national team by the coaching council and its approval by the executive committee of the figure skating team.

However, we do not have the right to violate the terms established by the rules of the International Skating Union. Therefore, the composition of applications, including spare, remained the same. The ISU regulations allow us to make possible changes in the starting lineup before the start of the World Cup, ”commented Gorshkov.

LOL this is better than any soap opera.. I love this sport!

Can anyone explain to me why everyone thinks that someone will be forced to fake an injury? What does the Russian Federation gain by that strategy?

If they want Samodurova, Zagitova and Medvedeva, then why not say, "we want SSamodurova, Zagitova and Medvedeva," (or whoever)?

So basically they named 5 ladies for Worlds (not to mention additional 15 athletes in other disciplines). Good job Russian fed, good job :dev3:

Konstantinova? Will she seriously be kept there? She was third at cup final by over fifteen points and bombed Euros.

No. They just copy the euro-lineup

 

[malya]

Wonderful

Quote Liza: I'm just happy it is over I'm tired of proving myself again.

Konstantinova? Will she seriously be kept there? She was third at cup final by over fifteen points and bombed Euros.

They will chose between those five later (right before competition is started ), but yes, Konstantinova is still in consideration

 

[Fluture]

What can one even say about this?

 

[DeeDee18]

they really had to force Zhenya to fly in and Liza to participate to "look at the alternates" and won't even send them to Worlds or Universiade? what is this?
