WC-2015 gold medalist Elizaveta Tuktamisheva and OG-2010 participant Alena Leonova are going for those sub-local competition?
I think that they did release her and she represents Ukraine now. I am pretty sure she was at Ukrainian test skates and she landed a triple axel in the warm ups. I might be wrong though.
), but that's hardly a core of the article whether she was bronze on olympics or worlds.
Shes back? Good. Its about time. I hope Nastya is happy back in St Petersburg. Hopefully the Moscow judges won't be there.
I think the issue is she hasn't skated in any competition in so long it will be interesting to see what kind of form she has. I think that's more of an issue for Anastasia than that dubious interview was with Rodina.
I could be wrong about that, but I don't think that she has gotten a JGP assignment yet and didn't Kurakova have to wait a little bit to compete for Poland?
She was released because she, her parents and her coach decided she didn't have a chance to get into the Russian national team with her low scores. And the application was approved unanimously. Don't think her stupid remark had any effect on that decision.
ISU mandated quarantine period is 12 months; but it doesn't apply in her case.
I don't think she's going to miss the 2019/20 season since she never competed for Russia as a national team member, and 12 month "quarantine" applies to those athletes only, if I remember correctly.

So technically she's a Ukrainian skater now, and doesn't belong in this thread
