Dmitri Aliev, Arthur Danielian, Sinitsina/Katsalapov and Stepanova/Bukin withdrew from the test skates due to injuries (and also didn’t go to the closed camp in Novogorsk)
 
Rukavitsyn: Aliev is undergoing treatment in Germany

"Dima has long been bothered by pains in the lower back, moving towards the right hip joint. During one of the workouts, the pain intensified. An examination was carried out, which showed that there are inflammatory processes and some other problems in the joint. I reported this to the FFKKR, (General Director) Alexander Ilyich Kogan gave the go-ahead for treatment in Munich, for which I am very grateful to both the FFKKR and the Figure Skating Federation Petersburg, "Rukavitsyn said over the phone.

"Dima is now in Germany, he underwent additional examinations, diagnosed him, gave him two injections with a certain composition. On Monday Dima should go out on the ice, and it will be clear from his health how we will continue the training process. According to German experts, the forecasts are good. We hope that the treatment was effective. I hope that Dima will be able to prepare for the third stage of the Russian Cup in Sochi on October 23-27, where he should open his competitive season, "the coach concluded.
 
Svinin: Stepanova and Bukin should start in the Russian Cup
"Vanya and Sasha have everything ready for the season, we were preparing for the skates, but still we were afraid that Sasha would have problems, like last year. Therefore, on September 10, Sasha flies to Germany for an injection about difficulties with his back. We could give this injection earlier, but the hospital was closed due to the pandemic. If everything is okay, then according to the plan they will perform at the stages of the Russian Cup and the Grand Prix," Svinin said by phone.
 
Stepanova has a back injury. Flies to Germany on the 10th for an injection.

It seems a bit weird that one has to fly abroad to get an injection. Public transportation is not necessarily the safest way to travel during the pandemic.
 
Danielian may miss The Russian Cup due to ankle injury
"Artur has an ankle injury, we are treating and waiting for a full recovery, so performances at the stages of the Russian Cup are questionable," Buyanova said by phone.

Probably under CT or something like that. It’s quite a specialised procedure.

The doc is some kind of guru, great reputation. Treated a lot of successful athletes.
If that is worth it in these time though...🤷🏼‍♂

I wonder who is paying for this? RUS fed? This ain’t gonna be cheap.

I was thinking the same... Don't they have competent doctors in Russia? I would guess so...
I think I have walked ny that doctor's office in Munich, if that's the right place.
 
Alina Zagitova won’t take part in the test skates
I made the decision not to participate in the test skates on September 12-13, because at the moment it is very interesting for me to try myself in a new role as a host of the Ice Age. I ask you to treat my decision with understanding and agree on it
 
The skirt is pretty; the top could use some tweaking. I love that way of doing her hair. It really suits her.

Come on just say it already, won't take part of any skating competition from now on

We know Ice Age is the quiet and gracious way to say goodbye to competitive skating
 
Elizaveta Tursynbaeva is now a student at MGIMO University (Moscow State Institute of International Relations)
