Well I must say this is a bit shocking .. I am not sure what the point of having Evgenia and Liza in this Russian Cup Finals event was if they were not going to select them.. Placing gold and silver with quite solid scores.. They both are left off the world team??. I figured Samodurova was a lock but not Alina and Stanislava..Here is what the selection currently is. I thought Evgenias Cup Final performance definitely puts her on the world team..shes clearly much stronger than she was at start of the year and I figured Liza would likely be on that team too since she was at GP Final and has been pretty consistent all year.
