No, "candidates" is the official name for members of Russian National Team.
See list of 2014/2015 Season http://fsrussia.ru/files/docs/RUteam1415.pdf
We see the title "List of candidates to sports united teams of Russian Federation on Figure Skating".
It means that teams for Euro, Worlds etc will be formed of these candidates at most.
In fact http://fsrussia.ru/news/1080-sostav-sbornoj-rossii-po-figurnomu-kataniyu-na-sezon-2015-2016.html - only Senor part of Team Russia (both main part and reserve), also will be Junior Team and "Boys, Girls" Team.

Everything looks about right but no Alexander Petrov? He has 2 senior GPs this season, colour me surprised, he did well this past season didn't he? Won 2 CS events and a JGP medal
Petrov is in Junior team.
Looks about right, now that there's a differential between main and reserve teams. Maybe a bit generous for Sinitsina/Katsalapov to be on the main team, but everything else makes sense.
Sinitsina/Katsalapov (4th at Nats) are better than Kosygina/Moroshkin (6) and Sosnitskaia/Golovishnikov (7), so why not?
They could include in Reserve team Tiffany ZAHORSKI / Jonathan GUERREIRO (really nice skating, 5th at Nats), but did not do it.

They are waiting for Zahorski's release, I suppose? I really liked them at Russian Nationals.
Of course they are waiting.
But I can't understand how it may prevent to be in Reserve National team.
Lipnitskaia and Radionova were in Main Senior National Team being not age eligible for Senior Internationals.
More skaters are eligible now than previously.
Reserve team does not mean any funding.
It may be or may be not.
Not so many in Russian Senior Ice Dance.

And where was that taking into consideration the fact that Z/G were not allowed to perform internationally yet?
Oh, and I didn't know you can try get minimum TES just once.
Poor S/K are doomed - they will never get it because you told so.

Poor Leonova. No wonder Makarova didn't return; really no room for the elder statesmen so to speak. Maybe Alena can pull a Maria B but it really isn't looking great - mind you a lot of the competitors ahead of her have to deal with growth spurts
It is not about her age, it is about her not being able to deliver. When did she last time get to GPF? And that's not the fault of her federation that she doesn't deliver at her GP events...

Also Makarova had a hip injury.

S/k failed twice at gp events and russian nationals which doesn't cout but they didn't get minimum from the international technical panel there either but z/g did the first time. Z/g have much more potential for success than s/k could ever dream even if s/k even get the sd minimum and zahorski is released.
