Novice ladies mean that they wont paricipate in JGP? Because many of them are age eligible already on JGP

No, it does not mean that. It's a matter of funding.

Thank you. Are Ushakova & Nekrasov and Lopareva & Karpushov on the novice list then? (This one shows seniors & juniors, and neither team is on it, though both teams finished above Kuts & Mikhailov at Junior Nationals).

This link is all that I've seen; don't have anything on the novices.

Yes, they are on the federation list (in Russian) at the link in the OP.

No I/Z (dance) or K/S (pairs), so I guess that indicates possible retirement...

Ilinykh/Zhiganshin are listed on the reserve team of ice dancers.

Kavaguti/Smirnov are listed on the reserve team of pairs. As are Volosozhar/Trankov, BTW.

I'm nearly 50 and I recall the days when the USSR could win pairs and ice dance international competitions with their B envelope. But, this list of Ladies names is about as strong as any team I can remember them ever having for any discipline. Very impressive! But, it's also great to know that the world is stepping up to the challenge, particularly the Canadian ladies and emerging Japanese seniors. Despite their depth, Ladies should take some hope from the fact that two of three medals at worlds went to non-Russian ladies. It will be important this year for Ladies to come out strong in summer test skates, on the GP, and at their nationals to pose a challenge to Medvedeva, whose as close to a lock on gold as I can remember. Nevertheless, it's quite a list of gifted skaters all around on the Russian team that have given me great joy to see them skate over the years.
