2020-21 Russian Men's figure skating

[elektra blue]

I heard Gumenik got 97/100 in Chemistry exam. I cannot but congratulate him for his academic results. This are serious results that can open him the door to whatever school he likes. Best wishes for his skating season too.

He also got 98/100 in Russian language and waiting for biology results. Petr is going to enter a medical university. Our russian Nathan Chen :thumbsup:

another boy who makes mama Elektra proud :luv17:

Well done Petr! Always glad to hear of another skater balancing sports and education And as a biochemist I feel a little bit of extra happiness at his choice of subjects

Does anyone know if he plans to defer university entry (e.g. take a gap year/s), or try and do it part-time?

He plans to defer it. The exam results are valid for 4 years. His choice of subjects is related to plans to study medicine. This isn't something you can do part-time if he sticks with his plans.

Good, we have four more years to enjoy Petr's skating - a decent compromise :thumbsup:

- "Athletes will be selected in two stages. There is simply no other option this year,” Alexander Gorshkov, President of the FFKKR, confirmed in a conversation with a Sport Day by Day correspondent. - Why didn't you make exceptions for the reigning champions? "As soon as you start talking about exceptions, it's not clear where they should stop. These are general requirements. We are not talking about any exceptions yet. The mechanism for the distribution of skaters by stage has not yet been determined. If someone cannot compete at the Russian Cup, then let them not complain. No wild-cards are provided."

Also noted: In connection with the requirements of Rospotrebnadzor, admission to participate in these stages will be limited.
