Chelyabinsk
Qualified based on making it to the JGP Final
Anastasia Mishina / Vladislav Mirzoev
Alina Ustimkina / Nikita Volodin
Amina Atakhanova / Ilia Spiridonov
Aleksandra Boikova / Dmitrii Kozlovskii
Ekaterina Borisova / Dmitry Sopot
Only Poluianova/Selkin has qualified for sure among those who were trying to qualify based on Russian cup events. However, I highly doubt we will see all five junior pairs from JGP final at the senior championships especially since Borisova/Sopot withdrew from there. It is difficult to say how many of these pairs want to skate at the senior championships but I would say that Ustimkina/Volodin will likely skate there and also Mishina/mirzoev could do the same. Atakhanova/Spiridonov and Boikova/Kozlovskii might do too but I would say it is more doubtful than with the other two pairs but we will have to wait and see.
Qualified skaters for the Russian Championships.
Possible invitee
Adelina Sotnikova. She will be invited here if she wants to skate here.
As expected both Ustimkina/Volodin and Mishina/mirzoev have confirmed that they are planning to skate at the senior championships. It is pretty much given that Atakhanova/Spiridonov will not skate there but I think Boikova/Kozlovskii might very well skate there.

- What will change before the championship of Russia?
Dmitry : We will add support for one, but it's a matter of, those demands. Our task is to show in Chelyabinsk worthy riding level, as we will play with the winner of the adult Grand Prix Final. This, of course, a great experience. I believe that the competition will be good, in a very positive way, as the whole team we know will be all their own, so it will be easy to ride. The more I heard, Chelyabinsk well take skaters.
Why is it given that Atakhanova/Spiridonov won't be competing at the senior nationals? Because of one messed up competition? I thought the competition was just a freaky accident. He dropped her and after that it went downhill. It can happen to anyone. Or do you know more than that? Are they splitting or anything? Or is Pavlova doing again her old tricks (e.g.restricting food to make the female partner lighter)?
You probably overslept last senior Nationals. It was without Champions of JGPF (Borisova/Sopot) and bronze medalists (Atakhanova/Spiridonov). But with other two pairs, which were lower.
Ridiculous it's your guessing about blaming Pavlova for nothing. Amina is injured. And they were bad at JGPF. In the last year they were in a good shape. If not their fall they could win that event. And now year later, in a bad shape, with injury they won't compete because evil Pavlova don't let them?No, I have been watching Russian nationals for the last approximately 5-6 years. Since Sotnikova won her first nationals. I still don't get your point though. So because Atakhanova/Spiridonov did not compete last year, it is given that they don't want to compete this year? Surely you must see that this is ridiculous. They could have had reasons for not wanting to take part last year. Thta doesn't automatically mean that the same reasons apply this year.

Nevertheless, Russian pairs field looks very weak. Except Stolbova/Klimova and Tarasova/Morozov (and maybe Zabiyako/Enbert) all other pairs can't even compete with them. That's sad. I expect Mishina/Mirzoev will take 4th ot 5th place.

It's really not a "bloodbath". I'm upset. :disapp:
