It depends if Haruna will competes as senior or junior. She's senior eligible. Hana is still junior. For junior worlds there's enough spots. But for senior competition, Haruna can compete at championship-level competitions if she earns minimum scores (shouldn't be a problem for her I guess).
He is at the camp with Mishin in Kislovodsk but he hasnt confirmed that he will take arsenyy, it's more like a trial period
What a thoughtful, well-considered, mature decision for a teenager going through puberty. If Mishin says no, where will he go?
Mishin does seem like a great choice for him, but if he can't go there, I'd suggest Sokolovskaia. I like what she's done with Kondratiuk.
You just aren't that close to the inner workings of Russian figure skating, so you don’t understand.
Harlow Lynella STANLEY perhaps
Good for her keeping her skills up, her chin up and staying in shape!

I'm confused why you are bringing up Isabella Flores. She's partnered with Linus Jepsen and training in London, Ontario AFAIK.Isabella Flores is part Mexican, with a paternal great grandfather born Mexican.. To establish Mexican citizenship, her grandmother and mother would have to get it first.

Above: Olivia and Isabella Flores are proud of their Hispanic heritage as they climb the competitive ranks of figure skating.
Too busy with updates did not look at details, was updating Mexico’s thread and saw her name.
Yes, that's true, especially after Isabella was with practically her perfect partner in Ivan Desyatov, and they were such an exciting team to watch, and were progressing very fast together. Even before Desyatov, Dima Tsarevski was a better match than Jepsen, too. However, Flores/ Jepsen have been working very hard together, and there have been some signs of improvement. We'll see how it works out next season. I admire Isabella for not giving up in the face of terrible adversity re suddenly losing good partners, twice.
Really? This is a Mexico requirement?
US Fed would probably release her just like they released even bigger stars. Why do you think she wouldn't get released ? I am not saying it's happening but just curious about your comment.Really? This is a Mexico requirement?
With different timing and under other circumstances, Paul Ayer & Isabella Flores might match well physically. But, what would funding look like from Mexico fed? Plus, having to sit out a whole year is not advantageous. In any case, Flores seems committed to Jepsen right now. And most likely, U.S. fed would never release her.
Sure they could release her if it comes down to it. However, I'm not certain Isabella Flores actually desires to be released. Initially, it was thought that she wanted a release to possibly skate for France with Jepsen, but that was never confirmed. For a skater with such shining talent as an ice dancer, coupled with her pioneering and influential engagement on IG, Flores has certainly been handed a raw deal too often. Even when she was showing exciting promise with Desyatov in their just over two seasons together, USfed, instead of fully embracing Flores/ Desyatov, seemed to prefer favoring MIDA teams who partnered a year or two later, including Wolfkostin/ Tsarevski and the unproven Morosov/ Chen (M/C did not even last a full season).
Umm, sure, but I don't think U.S. fed (nor any federation) purposely makes a practice of releasing 'big stars.' The U.S. did not reckon that Deanna Stellato would find her perfect match in Canada and rise quickly to the top in pairs. Had they understood that her determination and luck in pairing with Max Deschamps would bear amazing fruit, they probably would have held onto Deanna and tried to find her another match in the U.S. She had asked U.S. fed for help after the split with Nate B due to his uncertainty about continuing post-surgery. But they were lukewarm about offering assistance, so Deanna headed north and the stars aligned.
U.S. fed made Deanna wait two years, and they gave Gabby Izzo a hard time, too. Of course, Gabby later ended up in Austria with Luc Maierhofer, having not been active competitively for over two years. Thus, finally receiving her release was expected.
