are we going to have any Russian skaters at these Olympics? They are at the Krasnoyarsk pre-Olympic training camp....

Apparently they are currently at the pre-Olympic training base in Krasnoyarsk
I am very sad for Misha. His skating is a highlight of any event, really, and the White Crow program was just something else. I do hope we see it at Worlds. I’m so sorry this happened to you, Misha
On a separate note - since it is not possible to comment in the predictions thread - with the first and last event being two weeks apart and so many chances for further WDs once the competition has started, maybe it wouldn’t be a terrible idea to have two or three separate competition threads for Olympics.

I thought this would be a good idea, especially since then we could change our predictions after seeing how the Team Event goes
Never happy that someone got sick, but this actually gives me a tiny bit of peace of mind because now I know they probably couldn’t have gone anyway had they been chosen for that third spot.
Ok, so in order to avoid possible manipulation, we do team+men+ whatever the third event is (dance?) and then the final two as a separate tournament.I thought this would be a good idea, especially since then we could change our predictions after seeing how the Team Event goes
Whoever is in charge of the predictions thread, please consider.
So there may be further repercussions. Russian skaters and coaches don't seem to bother with masks, or don't wear them properly.Apparently they are currently at the pre-Olympic training base in Krasnoyarsk

Bazin and one of the coaches (Samokhin). Khudaiberdieva is negative.
Russia's laxity when it's come to COVID has not bothered me at all, but it's crazy not to step things up before the Olympics. The bubble should have began right after Europeans and before Europeans they should have had daily tests for the skaters and everyone around them. If half the Russian team ends up getting COVID then whoever organized this bubble needs to lose their job. You can only say "there's nothing we could have done" if you don't do everything you could do.
Eteri for some odd reason is having 2 junior skaters enter the bubble who are not even eligible for the Olympics. After Europeans, Valieva and Scherbakova were doing PR shoots.
TBH, there should have been at least 2 bubbles... probably one for Eteri.
I have vain hope the Eteri''s team doctor is giving the girls prophylactics that will prevent them from getting it.

I couldn't agree more

There's a report out that a member of Mishin's coaching team has also tested positive. .
As if there was such a thing.... The best way to prevent getting the crud is to wear masks (the medical kind), making sure both nose and mouth are completely covered, and to wash hands frequently.
Yes, according to Sport Express
Стало известно, у кого зафиксированы положительные тесты на коронавирус на сборах фигуристов в Красноярске
На сборах национальной команды России по фигурному катанию у трех участников взяты положительные анализы на коронавирус.

The Mishin team probably wanted to infect one of Eteri girl so Liza can skate in the Olympics.
