Random questioned that occured to me with all the "Rika/Kanako" going on in the Team Japan Thread. Liza and Elena are going, but Julia is the 2nd highest ranked Russian in the ISU ranking. I know Julia said her season was over after Nationals, does that mean that the Federation was still fined for not sending her even when she said beforehand she had no intention of competing this season anymore? I know that Elena had a much better season and it's a safer bet for Team Russia, but the criteria to send them is the ranking. But if the skater does not wish to go (non injury related) and wants to end his/her season before, does it still mean they're getting fined?
