Ladies after 5 GP events

[Alba]

Bad news.
Elena Radionova may WD from GPF because of illness (flu or cold).

I emphasise - only may.

Are you kidding me? Where did you read this?

 

[MalAssada]

There's still one week, I hope it's enough time.

 

[louisinsane]

Where did u get it? Did u check this information before posting it here?

 

[FS_rrb]

Nooooo!!!! I would be really upset if she had to withdraw. Hope she recovers well and soon (very soon).

BTW, any more info about this issue? I haven't heard anything else...

Since this is in GPF threads, I'm not sure if it's the best to place to post my question but... 6 GP events are now over, I don't think I saw Valentina Marchei. Why? Is she injured? or decided to take a season off like Carolina and Mao?

She is trying out pairs with Ondrej Hotarek. They just finished 2nd at Golden Spin: http://www.croskate.hr/GS47/html/CAT003RS.HTM

So the rumor WAS true?! And just 'Wow' to their 2nd finish there!

However, so sad cause I so much love Stefania/Ondrej together and we don't see them anymore; with their musicality, intricate choreographies and better costumes, they always produce something special that I don't normally often see from other pairs.

Hope Stefania is doing fine and she's found a new partner by now. SUch gorgeous talented skater for pair field, She is one of my most favorite female pair skaters, after Aolina!

 

[FS_rrb]

I'm starting to panic after reading those rumours about Radionova being ill. Have this rumours been confirmed?

No. AlexRus just dropped the bomb and left.

 

[LRK]

Well, AlexRus' info is generally reliable. However I hope it's nothing too bad and that Elena recovers in time. Otherwise this might just start to resemble a FS version of "And Then There Were None"...

I haven't seen any news for a while, but she did Plushy's Kings on Ice show with her fiancé Rockne Brubaker:

I asked on FSU as well. The reply is "I heard that she's not going to withdraw."
So probably she was/is sick but she is not going to wd. :yes:

 

[MalAssada]

My question is, where do the posters hear these things? :scratch:

This comment above:thumbsup: But I hope Elena is well and it is only rumors!

I don't know. Some are "insiders".
The one I was talking about on FSU is generally reliable as well, about Russian skaters.

Or a GPF with lots of Japanese girls in it

Or a GPF with lots of Japanese girls in it

If the withdrawals happen in time for replacements.

same rumours about Elena being sick are on Russian forums too but nothing definite, one poster said that she was seen yesterday practising so it can't be too bad

Yep. There are news in her fanfest.
They are all traveling to Sweden on Tuesday, Elena is on the list.
