Totally agree. She would have been an awesome ice dance team member.Monko senior was a goddess and more worthy of TTW than her sister. That carriage. Those lines! That inability to twizzle.

The RuFed totally used the 3rd skater as fodder so they wouldn't compete against the other two. Stasia vs,
Scherbakova and Tuk (SKAM), Sima vs Med and Trusova (Skate Canada), Sotskova vs Kostornaia and Zag (France), Sofia vs Scherbakova and Tuk China (they will eliminate either Anna or Tuk from the GPF here and poor Sofia), Stasia vs Med and Trusova Russia (same here with Trusova and Med...if Med isn't on her game, she's out) and lastly Sofia vs Kostornaia and Zag Japan. None of the 3As will directly compete against each other until a possible GPF meet up. Sigh. Maybe there will be last minute changes.
I think it was absolutely intentional and I can't blame them. I'd maximize my chances at entries into the GPF as well. It was inevitable a couple of the top 7 contenders would have to compete head to head before the GPF. They're also evenly matched with the Japanese skaters with 3As in their arsenal. While I'm sad for Gubanova, I understand what they did. Buianova should have fought harder for her.You know, I may not like it but If I were them I would do the same. Smart on their part if it was intentional.
Chinese fed + Marie-France.I still dont get how Chen/Sun managed their 2nd event though.

Mishina/Gallyamov got two events: France and JapanPairs:
This is the category most hurt by lack of entries. Lots of teams only getting 1 event. Mishina & Galiamov the major ones with a top 10 SB and only 1 event but thankfully TBD seems theirs to lose. RUS of course still somehow managed to invite Ghilardi Ambrosini![]()

I'm happy Sima got an assignment!
Gubanova's SB was 5 points behind Sima, so this is fair. And Sakhanovich had much better programs last season.
Most important question, of course, is which of Samodurova, Kostornaia, or Zagitova will withdraw from NHK so Leonova gets her assignment?![]()
Pulkinen jumping already?? Well , he looks senior but compared to the rest of the US field he's still waaay behind. Not sure about that.
Chen & Sun's spot is at SA. SA probably needed a spot at COC and this was the trade. (Probably wasn't for a dance spot, though. Both the U.S. dance teams at COC had double guaranteed berths).
He ages up.
