That's what Oksana wrote in her blog:
About missing Grand Prix:
"We arrived in Moscow a week before the Grand Prix and decided that since we are at home, Maxim should visit his doctor. The doctors said that if we want to compete at the Olympics, we have to be careful now. So we decided to take a break. Maxim, of course, was disappointed. Me and our coaches thought he would say: "No! I will skate! ", as it was last year, but this time he decided to miss Grand Prix.
Of course there is nothing good about it. First, we need to show our new programs to judges, but I think we will do it at the European Championships. Second, we need to compete before the Olympics."
About new programs:
"Our original dance is very "original". The music, the costumes - everything is new and not typical for us, but we like it very much.
For the free dance we chose the music from one not well known movie. And we also used the Requiem for a Dream soundtrack, but it's not the main theme of our free dance. We will try to tell a story about love between men and women"
