This is where we discuss figure skating and skating related items. How did you favourite skaters perform, and so on? However we never speculate on the private lives of skaters, like who might be going out with whom, because that is poison and is not tolerated here. A good guideline is that if it's not publicly announced, in the papers etc. then it's probably best to leave it alone. Is it a gray area? Then write to me and ask.
Apparently the deadline for naming skaters for Worlds is today. The Russian Federation named the following ladies:
Konstantinova, Samodruova, Zagitova (alt: Tuktamysheva, Medvedeva)
According to Jackie Wong:
Alexander Gorshkov (head of Russian FS Fed) noted that there wasn't enough time after Russian Cup Final to meet before today's deadline, so they submitted the Euros team. Leaves the door open for the entries to be changed before Worlds - stay tuned!!
This is ridiculous if you ask me! They *knew* well in advance of this competition of the submission deadline, and should have been scheduled to meet the very second the competition was over if that was the case. This is just cruel to the athletes who have been put through the wringer and still don't know if they're going. Inhuman.....and frankly a foolish choice if they are sending Konstantinova!

You and I and pretty much everyone online is saying much the same thing! I guess "time will tell"
