Tsurskaya got injured right at the event before the SP(I think the day of the event). Zagitova was 9th at junior nationals and had not skated internationally yet. Gubanova was 12th and was not eligible yet.

Anyone knows if the world championships is still going to be held or is it also in danger of beeing cancelled duo to the ongoing issue with corona?

As of now it is still happening, but like pretty much any event, it will be uncertain until it happens cause the situation is changing every day, Covid-19 is starting to spread in north america too now.
Useless information

Medals from JGPs are not included so the likes of Polina Shelepen, Anastasia Gubanova and Anastasia Tarakanova are not on this list
Tuktamysheva and Medvedeva has a fight to become the sole best 3rd Russian Skater ever. They will probably never catch Butyrskaya and Slutskaya though...
Slutskaya has the most EC (9), WC (6), OC (2), GP (31) medals
Butyrskaya has the most RusNat (11) medals
Ivanova has the most JW (4) medals
What strikes me the most is Butyrskaya's 11 consecutive RusNats medals between 1992-2002. The competition in the 90s was fierce. This is an achievement I think no one can ever beat.

Well if the officals are scared and are thinking of cancelling it, there is still the option of having the competition without an audience. It wouldn't be the same, I know, but at least we will have the competition. And it makes it easier to fever check only the coaches, media, skaters etc...
Anya has one full JGP season less due to injury - how is it possible she's only one medal behind?

So far the ISU statement remains unchanged, but if the meeting in Quebec has took place already and nobody has announced cancellation, it looks slightly optimistic.

FFKKR has decided to hold the March 29 "Forwards, Russia!" show with the upper ring of Megasport closed off, so as to remain within the decreed limit of 5000 spectators.
There will be two shows even to accomodate the ticketholders who had seats on the upper ring

Of course, under the assumption all Russian competitors and staff return healthy from Montreal, decorated with medals or not.

We tried that even here for football, it lasted only few matches until they realized it is still impossible because what if one of the athletes is sick or one of the people working for the event or even the coaches, judges,...
The worst part is that the person who has it doesn't even know immediately cause the symptoms show up only after at least 5 days / a week, so yes you can ran tests for every single person involved but that can't be the ultimate solution. Technically you can do everything but there's always risk.
Realistically i think they'll do it, hoping nothing bad happens which is irresponsible to say the least.
Personally i wouldn't attend any event with more than a thousand spectators for now, that's the only way you can fight the virus. You do a favor to yourself and the people around you staying at home, safe and healthy.
There are events not related to figure skating, scheduled for June that are about to get cancelled even in US.

Yeah, I think people should barricade themselves in their homes, there should be martial law on the streets and anybody who can potentially spread the virus should be shot at first sight. 
C'mon, this is insane. Every day I travel to work and back with thousands of other people, I meet many people at work, in shops, on the street. Some of them may be sick and not just by coronavirus, there are other contagious diseases which didn't disappear now, and which are with us since the beginning of life, and on some of them people can die. It happens every day everywhere. I'm not a fatalist but unless you want to apply some measures I've mentioned above and cause the end of the normal organized society, there will be always some risk. Though, so far the end of normal life can cause much more damage than coronavirus, I would say. Just banning sporting events and thinking "now we've made the world safe again" is a delusion.

topic: Regarding recent coronavirus decisions I am still not able to figure out how a ban of pre-game handshakes can be useful in rugby considering the nature of this sport.
The usefullness is in "we wanna show we are doing something".

It took only one infected person (Patient 1) attending an event with hundreds of people in West Germany to spread it over to 500 people in that area in a span of a week, the whole town had to be put into quarantine and still it spread everywhere over the state because the people visiting the event came from all over the country. In the US over 30 healthy people got infected all at once because they visited the same convention and were in close proximity. Elderly and sick people are most vulnerable to the virus and have life threatening symptoms, however, even young people have died and have shown severe symptoms and hospitals do not have the capacity to treat thousands of people with life threatening symptoms all at once as Coronavirus spreads extremly fast. Health care systems are on the brink of collapse because they cannot treat so many people at once and in Italy they already have to make the decision whose life to save whose life they do not safe, because they do not have enough ventilators and other machines to treat every person that needs intensive care.Yeah, I think people should barricade themselves in their homes, there should be martial law on the streets and anybody who can potentially spread the virus should be shot by sight.

Holding an event with thousands of people at close proximity is careless and puts many people's life at risk. It is easy to be so ignorant and dismissive if you do not live in an area that has been extremly affected by the virus.
Also, people personally may be blessed with normal immune systems, but it is still very important so play by the rules an be cautious, because you never know if the person besides you may be immune compromised and will die because you carried the virus and infected him/her. So for a social point of view, it doesn't matter how dangerous it is to someone personally, but how dangerous it is to the weakest person in a society
we had way worse nonsense speculations before
