Did Italy announce their world entries. It would seem alot are I medal contention ?
Did Great Britain and Australia? I would assume the Great Britain dance team of Lilah Fear and Lewis Gibson us going?

What about the Georgia tem ? Anastasia Gubanova and Niks Egda and their dance team?

There is still almost a couple of weeks left until the entry deadline. Many federations has not made the decisions yet.

Vanesa Selmekova received the nomination in women. Interestingly she is the only one who got a limit to fulfill in Montreal, 30 pcs TES and 53 pcs total in SP, otherwise she will have to pay for the air ticket. Apparently the committee was not unanimous in her nomination, which I find interesting as she won the skate off and also fulfilled all the criteria, the only reasonable explanation for this limit could be her underperformance at Europeans.

That surprises me given that Lea won the event she competed in at the weekend.

Edit: Misunderstood something.

Full entries are up.

I'm really surprised that Mark Gorodnitsky is only a reserve. His season's best is over 70 marks above Lev Vinokur's. PBs are over 50 marks apart... Mark would have had the 14th highest SB among those competing, so would have had a chance of placing top ten (there will be some who make mistakes) and earning two spots for Israel for next year. Lev Vinokour may well struggle to progress to the free programme.

I really don't understand why Mark is not going.

I really don't understand why Mark is not going.

He could be dealing with an injury or planning a country switch (he was born in and trains in Canada, and honestly he could be no. 2 in Canada right now with the state of the men)

That surprised me. The only things I can think of:

1 - Lev has a 4T while Mark doesn't have a quad. They may see Mark as hitting his ceiling, while Lev has higher potential.

2 - I don't think Mark's remarks in the mixed zone at Euros would have endeared him to the judges

Still, Mark would have been the choice that made sense since he has the better body of work. I don't think he would've hit his SB here and made top ten, but he would have a better chance of making the free at least.

Sticking with Israel would be better, he's getting more international competitions than he would as the number 2 man in Canada.
