Not to conspiratorial, but I doubt that Sotnikova's "injury" is the sole or even main reason for her withdrawal. Frankly, I was surprised that she opted to enter the GP. Definitely not a good start for her. Despite her maybe being the "darling of Rus. Fed. " as someone said earlier, Russia has enough talent to move on super quick! I don't think they'll be crying too much over her, it probably helps them make the Worlds decisions easier.
I was absolutely not surprised to see she withdrew. And I don't follow her so I didn't have any idea about a plaguing injury or whatnot.
