Lakernik's interview on Junior Nationals...
I will just include the questions that are relevant, the rest you can read here:

"In the men's figure skating picture is not so rosy.
This is because the big boys rode in Yoshkar-Ola medium, and small yet still small, and it is not known which of them will turn out. There are interesting guys - Peter Bean Goose, Eugene Semenenko, Matthew Vetlugin Daniel Bernadiner, the other shoots ... But what will happen? To understand this, it will take several years.
And the big boys, unfortunately, unstable ride. Alexander Samarin the same - like a set of technical and owns, but the elements performs somehow casually, not cleaned or something. Good skater Igor Efimchuk, but the program as such, he was not. Technically quite well trained Andrew Lazukin. But I think that was a mistake coaches include any program quadruple that hardly justified in that situation. Lazukin skated last and could choose tactics. And not for nothing, now the executive committee of the Federation will consider that at the Junior World Championships went not participate in competitions Adyan Pitkeev because he - the only one of our skaters at the junior world championships able to fight for the podium. In Estonia, can be a very strong company "singles" who own quads - the company athletes actually ride on an adult level.
I have a general impression that maybe the boys program and pairs very overwhelmed elements. And if in the future will be decided by saving time program, make one element less - in one jump, it may become easier rentals and cleaner. But such a decision this year will not be accepted, because these things can only approve ISU Congress...
But today, even at the junior level in the men's figure skating without a quad difficult to get on the podium?
How come? Petrov does no quadruple. But perhaps it is enough to hire two triple axel. Net rental with such jumps will allow to take a decent place. Provided, however, that it will be clean rental. A Pitkeev should the quad. At least one. Before the European Championship Adyan ill, that did not give him the opportunity to ride in full force. Let's see how he prepared now. I hope everything goes."
Nothing about what he said surprises me, unfortunately.

It will probably be released next week.
Event schedule for Men (in Tallinn time):
March 6 - 10:30 - 17:00 Men short program
March 7 - 18:00 - 21:50 Men free skating
Not for a costume, for a new uniform. National team equipment center is in Moscow.
Okay, thanks.
Edit:
Couldn't they just have mailed it to him? 8 hours travel time (to and fro) just for a uniform is a bit much. It's not as if he's actually grown much since the beginning of the season.

For sure, unless he skates after all his main rivals and they all bomb before him. Then there would be no need for the quad.
To be honest, I do not even know will it be good if he try the quad. First, this will be his very first quad. And it scares me a bit. He had never try this before in competition. I'm sure if he could do the quad stable, he would tried it in this season. This situation reminds me Jason's a bit. The last two Sasha's free skate were bad even without the quad. On the other hand, he must do it in the first time one day. But in the JWC? This is a strange decision by Mishin. Do a quad in the training or in the competition - this is not the same thing. Adam can prove it
hwell: Lazukin is obvious example also. But I just believe in the best as always.Why didn't he try the quad earlier? Well, you must remember that Sasha is only 15. He didn't need the quad at any of his previous competitions this season. His health has also not been good. Mishin said Sasha had Acute Respiratory Infection several times. That's a serious illness which can result in death. Sasha's bad skate at Senior Nationals was due to illness. So why try the quad when you don't need it and you're not 100% fit. He probably would have tried the quad at Senior Nats had he not fallen ill before the competition. That was also when Lazukin debuted his quad.To be honest, I do not even know will it be good if he try the quad. First, this will be his very first quad. And it scares me a bit.

Why try the quad at JWs? Well, why not? He has nothing to lose. With or without a quad, he's not one of the top 3-4 favourites. The ISU would rather have someone else on the podium. So why not go for it.

I guess even if he doesn't podium, he will go senior next year as Mishin said, but still come back to junior world as Adian. I think it will make more sense. If his health hasn't allowed him to try the quad in competition yet, I don't see why should he rush. Remember he is competing against 17 years old boys, not those that are on the same age as him.
I agree. The only one that is the same age as petrov is chen. There is no rush to do the quad now.

And Sota Yamamoto, recently he has been reported to land quad in practice (not beautiful air position though) but he couldn't put it in a competition in Japan. But Sota has also been reported to land 3A more stablely in the same competition as well. So if Sasha want to win against Sota, maybe a quad in the LP might be needed.
Nathan Chen is good but his health is questionable and his jumps aren't big.
But we know these days big jumps don't matter anymore. The judges still give huge GOE to small jump and so so landing if they like it. And Russian fed doesn't seek to politick enough for their junior men.

Is there an interview where it is stated for sure that he will be going for the quad? I don't really doubt that he would - just curious; I think there may have been an interview or so that I missed reading - I think I meant to come back later and do so, and forgot?
But I seem to remember someone saying that Petrov seemed more enthusiastic about trying the quad than Mr Mishin? And - remember that poll about whether people thought he'd go for the quad this season or not - and adelia noted that Petrov himself had voted "yes"? (I thought that was so cute!) It's possible that he actually wants to do the quad - because he likes it. Who knows?

Either way, I trust Mishin's decisions. He knows a thing or two about quads and men's champions.
I think Rus Fed perhaps let certain things slide at JGPF because they want a medal in some other competition. If that is really the case, then there could be a surprisingly favourable decision going Russia's way either at JWs or Worlds. We shall see.
Not "for sure" but that he plans to...Is there an interview where it is stated for sure that he will be going for the quad?

"Overall, I am happy with my ride on the championship of Russia, - said Alexander Petrov. - Short Program generally went right, but in the Long Program failed in the Lutz. However, despite the shortcomings, my coach Alexei Mishin said that all is well. Hope for the World Junior Championships when I come in great shape. The program will not change dramatically, but I plan to insert a quadruple jump."
Yeah, I think he likes challenges.
