Thanks for this. I hope the pairs come as they are in Bejing the previous week.

Minvera´s and Nikita´s practice location is 100m next to the arena. So they ll come for sure to get the applause after the likely GPF medal. They are rising.

Which Nikita? Are you talking about Hasse/Volodin?? Please, don't say that hey will be not at GPF!

 

[euterpe]

If Hocke/Kunkel are out then the Russo-Hungarians are in the GPF?

Yes, of course Hungarians are in.

 

[Quadjump]

They will be there and skate. But he was suffering from it the whole week.

It the result of the tight schedule they have. Nikita needs to adopt to that new life.

Sad to learn that Nicole is retiring. I will miss her lovely skating.

I haven’t seen a translation of her post, but hope she is moving on to greater things.

Hocke/Kunkel have withdrawn from German Nationals.

Ein Fallschirm gegen Rückenschmerzen

Verletzungsbedingt musste das Berliner Eiskunstlauf-Duo Hocke/Kunkel den Start bei mehreren Events absagen. Im neuen Jahr wollen sie nun schnellstmöglich wieder gemeinsam auf dem Eis stehen. Dabei hilft ein ungewöhnliches Sportgerät.

His back problems sound as if they'd need a longer rest to sustainably get back to health

 

[Miezekatze]

Roscher/Schuster still injured too (to me it looked earlier in the season as if it had been better for them not starting their season in the first place):

Don`know how things work here. Why wasn`t Jagoda chosen? I looked at their season`s scores and they are pretty even.

Sum of three best competitions (GP, Challengers and Nationals count), Starostin had 611.61 points, Jagoda 603.46.

But those 3A`s!! I don`t know either so I`m indifferent. But if Starostin messed up at Euros is it possible for Jagoda to go to Worlds?

why no Roscher/Shuster

 

[Sabine-Yuna]

why no Roscher/Shuster

Schuster is injured or has not fully recovered yet. And I think they have also not met the criteria, but maybe they would have sent them anyway.

 

[Quadjump]

I think there might be no German man or woman at worlds this year.

 

[Karen-W]

Both Starostin and Isaev already have the TES mins.

Oh yes I know. The German criteria are higher and no single skater reached them so far.

Even for Euros noone gained enough points so far. But the DEU ignored its own criteria.

The German fed cannot pay for the plane tickets to Worlds anyway.
