I have to say, I’m soooo happy for Frolova! She’s such a lovely skater, I could watch her all day. Her KnC was so happy, I almost teared up.
Or that he should have been drinking with other people and at different place - Mishin stayed in Moscow and look whose student made the team?

Well, if Mishin can pull off three spots with Kolyada and Semenenko, he is a wizard who deserves all praise. Semenenko has no international creds and is going to skate early which is going to hurt. And we know how well Kolyada handles pressure. 
Let's just hope Semenenko repeats the Russian Cup final and not Nationals. I would like for the Russian men to get 3 spots to the Olympics because they have the talent if they can just get the mental discipline to not waste that talent.
Oh, well, if any of the Russian men want to go to the Olympics, the fed is pretty clear that you'd better skate well or you stay home. They've got ladies, pairs and possible dance medals and aren't going to give any benefits of the doubt to the men. Hopefully, they'll all stay healthy, work hard over the spring and summer and for God's sake Rukaviticin give your men decent programs that make them shine.

If Russia was going to pick an unknown, I'd rather they picked Kondratiuk for his best overall performance across nationals, team event, and Russian Cup final. But there's also something to be said for going for who has the best most recent results. Oh well. Watching the Russian men's (and Canadian man's) results will be nerve-wracking.

Now we can begin the betting on who survives the pre-Worlds rounds of C19 testing and who actually makes it onto the ice! ?

Looks like the ISU is really trying to spice things up at worlds with the Men doing a 'Free Dance' on the Saturday according to the first information! ?

Maybe the men and the dance teams have to swap programs. I want to see Jon and Tiff landing those quads.

I dunno about that. With the emphasis off of quadruple jumps and on Skating Skills, Jason Brown should do very well.

But Daisuke will be completing a free skate with his ice dance partner Kana Muramoto, and Jason Brown is competing in the men's free dance, so they can both win their respective divisions as long as they aren't too far back after the short programs.

Not to spoil the fun, but I didn't think Daisuke was competing at Worlds.

Maybe he read the rules and reconsidered.

Getting named to the World team also meant that Semenenko now has a (very barebones) Wikipedia entry.

The Cheshire cat is still there, but Worlds and the potential of getting three spots there have vanished, leaving only a frown on the cat.

Nugu made it to sub status! 
world dominance status is only a matter of time folks!
Piotr and and the trainwreck wings sub too.
As much as I like him, no Mark, no Ignatov is pure bullshit.

Quote of the day goes to @rfisher 
I guess being 3rd at Nationals and being declared a Sex Symbol just don't mean what they used to.

So, #NotPolina ended up 3rd at the RCF. Not bad for their first season together. Next year, Baby! #hopedieslast
