Well, now I'm reading on VK that Artur will not go to Finlandia, but compete at the Cup of Russia this weekend in Yoshkar-Ola. Sigh...but if Petrov takes his place, it will be interesting to see how he fares against the seniors.

I wonder why Artur will not go? So sad...
Aww, I wanted to see Artur compete. But best of luck to Petrov! I really liked his performances in the JGP.

She will be competing next at nationals in December, so no she won't be at FT
In this piece of news from June they say that she has made a full recovery and has already been able to train on ice.
In another, linked article she says that she's really excited about Worlds in Helsinki in 2017. She says she's thinking about continuing her career until then.
I'm glad she means to continue for a few years - lovely to hear, thank you! (Maybe when 2017 comes she'll realise that 2018 Oly's is just a year away...
) I'll be glad to see her back - I've missed her. I hope she does well in Euros and Worlds this year.

That's strange, isn't it... ? I mean, if he's competing at Cup of Russia, that means he must be competition ready. So, why Cup of Russia instead of Finlandia? Does anyone know - or can anyone guess at the reasoning behind the decision?
Yes, I'm curious to see how Petrov will do too competing against seniors - he's signed up at Volvo Cup as well, if I remember correctly.

Here is info from AlexRus copied from the Russian qualifiers thread:
edit - doublechecked VK again and Yoshkar-Ola IS happening this week...Artur tweeted that he is there now. I guess Sochi is at the end of the month?
Since 2 of those dates are within just a few days of Artur's GP events, and he wasn't in the first qualifying event, maybe he has to compete at Yoshkar-Ola and (I'm guessing) Moscow. But then, shouldn't his GP events qualify him automatically for Nationals? I have no clue...

I think that list was made many months ago when they knew Kiira wouldn't be ready for the early season competitions. But it makes sense - she said in some interview in the beginning of September (http://www.katsomo.fi/?progId=374153&itemId=74277) that she is planning to attend some international competition before nationals. Zagreb or Warsaw - I wish she would be ready then!

Hi everyone! I'm selling one 3-day ticket to FT. It would have been lovely to go but unfortunately I can't. If you are interested, send me private message, please.

Don't forget, if he can win it, the USA men will be five for five in the challenger series. Go Adam!

No, he skated today & tomorrow in Russian qualifiers and he wrote on VK that it gives him more time to prepare for the GP. It's a pity, but at least he's getting some competition time in. I guess it will be Sergei, Adam, & Sasha Petrov on the podium then.
