2020-21 ISU Grand Prix season - Assignments Announced

[Dreamer57]

I'm really excited for NHK! I was hoping to see Eunsoo at an event as well.

Just wonder who will get the last spot at Rostelecom now.

GP France has been cancelled

IdF has just been cancelled. Not surprised. Considering they couldnt even afford proper medals or podium when there were ticket sales, I fear they might have only gotten a paper circle attached to a piece of string this time

OOh no But totally understandable given the situation in Europe now.

 

[TeamGubanova]

Maysuradze (GEO) and Kazakova / Reviya (GEO) have withdrwan. IDK why tho?

Unless Rika Kihira makes it back to Japan, she will be left without starts in the pseudo GP?

Wow that is interesting since for all I know the border between Estonia and Russia is very much closed. But I'm guessing her coach pulled some strings with the RusFed

I guess RusFed must have wanted that way, because 5 out of 12 spots are given to skaters who do not represent Russia.

I think with cancellation of the French GP, Rika will likely not compete until Japanese nationals. I believe that the Japanese federation is not sending its skaters to challengers.

OMG it is great news! As far i know anyone who has invitation to participate in international competition in Russia can entry to Russia!
I dont think that Rika had real chance to get this last place because RusFed probably didnt want her rivalty to local stars. Kiibus is safe option for russian.top skaters But still intresting, beautiful skaters who russians love

Sui and Han withdraw from COC due to Han's surgery in April. They are focusing on the recovery. They will also travel to Chongqing to train with their teammates before COC.
Sui said in an interview that they will keep one program from last season (short) and reuse one old program.

 

[Skatesocs]

CoC is also being held without an audience. I don't think that was announced before this.

 

[Skatesocs]

Apparently, Tang/Yang WD too, and we will be seeing the pair Daizifei Zhu/Yuhang Liu at CoC.

 

[Gia_Sesshoumaru]

- Pavlichenko and Khodkyin out
- Artem Kovalev in (replaces Maysuradze)
- Artur Danielan out (ankle surgery), replaced by Evgeni Semenko
- Anna Yanovskaya and Adam Luckas (HUN) in (replacing Kazakova / Reviya)

 

[Gia_Sesshoumaru]

Yasmina Kadryova and Ivan Balchenko have been announced as the replacements for Pavliuchenko and Khodykin.
