It has been known why they didn’t compete. They are in the USA and hoping to get Green card for Smolkin (Davis has US citizenship) so they couldn’t leave the USA. They said that the reason why they left Russia was that he didn’t want to be sent to fight in Ukraine. The gossip was that they planned changing the country they compete for, it might be USA or Israel.I take it there has been no news re Davis/Smolken or why they didn’t compete all year?
