Why are they not sending Radionova again? She's still the best of the Russian girls not eligible to go to the Olympics.

she's injured

 

[Jammers]

When did this happen?

When did this happen?

Before GP Final.

Radionova is in Substitute List and maybe she, not Proklova, will be at JrWorlds if will be at good state.

Why are they bringing Stepanova/Bukin back from Seniors? They won JW last year.

They won Junior Nationals.

But you can watch her in the Olympics exhibition tomorrow.

Because they can't go to Senior Worlds and the season would be essentially over for them otherwise. This way they can earn some ISU ranking points and potentially improve their SB score. Sucks for the other teams but they are still age eligible.

 

[AliceInWonderland]

If Radionova ends up competing then there is a very good chance that all three ladies' medals will go to Russia.

 

[Mao88]

Will World Juniors be shown on CNOPT/Russian TV/TV Teka?

 

[volk]

she's injured

Well, i am not surprised. They have the same coach, so not much problem with changing girls. It is so hard to get on the team for the girls. I would love to see Proklova and Medvedeva at Jr Worlds also. I absolutely adore Proklova's SP, a little balerina.

seems Elena is fine now
and she is in the Junior Worlds team

Proklova will not be going but she is competing now at Moscow event

And Stepanova/Bukin are out due to illness. Evgenia KOSIGINA / Nikolai MOROSHKIN are in

Well, they looked fine in January at Junior Nationals. I doubt she has grown within 2 months. I personally love this pair, she needs more polish, but that can come with time. Their twizzles are great!

What is it with you and height differences? Why are you so offended/repulsed/horrified by pairs and dance teams that are close in height? As long as they can still comfortably do their elements, what's it to you?

similar height is a hotbed for future injuries, elements performed will be limited
and it just doesn't look right to have in similar height, not aesthetically pleasing to look at
their lift positions are limited and very poor

the ISU should draft a rule to ban couples competing with a height difference less than 12 cm

??? Tessa and Scott were of a similar height, I never saw you complain about that, and they're one of the best teams in history. Why do you care SO much about Stepanova/Bukin being of a similar height? I'll repeat, as long as they're not having problems, why should you care? Don't watch them if you think it's not aesthetically pleasing
