[ladyjane]

Ha, ha, I was just going to post them. You beat me to it @GoneWithTheWind . Thank you!

 

[Amei]

Wow no Medvedeva - though there is theRostelecom host spot open, interesting that Sinistaya got 2 GP assignments but Nugumanova didn't get any and she's on the national team (reserve).

 

[nussnacker]

That was to be expected.
National team tag - only about money, not assignments. Ksenia has an international SB and rating, Liza N. doesn‘t, she last was on international competition probably during her jgp days.
Besides, Ksenia trying 4Ts last season probably put her as higher priority on Rusfed‘s list.

 

[Laid-Back Enthusiast]

Tursinbaeva will participate in Rostelecom

 

[Sensation]

Looking forward to Skate Canada with that Ladies field.

 

[Colonel Green]

Stepanova & Bukin got thrown to the wolves by RusFed. Likely to miss the Final with those assignments. Conversely, congratulations to Guignard & Fabbri, who unexpectedly got two easy silver medal assignments despite being the sixth seed.

 

[Arbitrary]

Russia has 16 slots in Ladies. Is it an allowed maximum or they decided not to send some participants?

 

[AlexBreeze]

The most of my favourite skaters are going to Rostelecom

 

[el henry]

I am hoping some kind soul is able to write out the men, but... (ETA2: and now they're there, @GoneWithTheWind)

Nathan, Jason and Tomoki at Skate Canada. What a lineup. (ETA: for the Americans. And Keegan and Romsky too)

I'm shocked that Nathan is doing two in a row, I don't know why

And to no one's surprise, Yuzu gets NHK.

 

[Colonel Green]

They have 17, counting the TBD at Rostelecom.

A nation is allowed a maximum of 3 entrants per event. Russia hit that everywhere but at NHK, where they have only two. I'm not sure what happened there, to be honest, I would have thought they'd have had other skaters who qualified.

 

[bostonskaterguy86]

Nathan, Jason and Tomoki at Skate Canada. What a lineup. (ETA: for the Americans. And Keegan and Romsky too)

I must admit I was hoping Nathan and Jason would be separate, to give Jason an easier pathway to the final

nathan 2 in a row : probably for school reasons...

Also, very convenient that both NA GP are "west"

I hear you I'm less concerned about the GP final, TBH, Jason has been there, done that, than that Jason skates those wonderful programs the way he can.

And also Nathan and Jason at the same GP has not turned out too badly for Jason (yes I'm looking at you, 2019 IdF)

 

[el henry]

Didn't see this until I posted. I thought Nathan was taking a sabbatical this year, but "staying west" certainly makes sense.

 

[Greengemmonster]

I think Bradie did two in a row before the plague and it worked out fine for her. Someone told me the flights were better so it made up for the two in a row issue.

 

[Seven Sisters]

Happy to see Han Yan—glad he didn’t retire after all!
Also, no Calalang/Johnson in US Pairs. I guess they’re done?
No Medvedeva or Zagitova, as expected.

 

[4everchan]

yes i noticed that too HANEEEEEE

sad not to see Gabby at all... i was hoping for her to get a host spot... but nope...

 

[readernick]

Yes, the two biggest surprises for me were also Han Yan (a wonderful surprise) and no C/J ( very sad). I wonder what happened with C/J.

 

[TeamGubanova]

I am surprised Boyang Jin got only 1 spot
