wasnt there a new introduced rule
that skaters competing in seniors Worlds can no longer back competing in juniors/compete in junior worlds
As far as I know, for the current season there is no such rule that prevents previous senior GP or senior Worlds participants from competing at Junior Worlds. It is not stated in the latest version of ISU rules, published this summer. I vaguely recall seeing people talking about this "new rule" at some point —— maybe it came up in the proposals for this year's ISU Congress or it was pure hearsay. It might be adopted by the ISU in the future, but not now.wasnt there a new introduced rule

So currently, Sasha's competition schedule looks like this?
Volvo Open 5-9 November (based on their website, Senior Mens comp shld end on the 6th)
Warsaw Cup 20-23 November (he should win both Volvo Open and this comfortably IMO, the rest of the competitors are not in the same league)
JGPF, Barcelona 11-14 December
Russian Nationals 24-28 December
Russian Junior Nationals 4-7 February
Junior Worlds, Tallinn Est 2-8 March
Mishin has a winter camp in Tartu Est from 4th to 14th Jan, do you think he will be there?
Last season he had too long a break between events so maybe Mishin's intention is to prevent him from losing momentum? Also, chalking up all these Senior B/Challenger wins will help him build his reputation among the judges I feel. But I do worry more about injury. I'll trust Mishin though, he above all knows how to develop a mens singles champion.
Yes, I think so too. But we shall see.Maybe he'll try the quad in the Senior B's, and if it works out for him, he'll bring it to JGP/Nationals/Junior Worlds?
I hope so. It would be great to see a good quad from him at Junior Worlds next year. I really want him to medal there!Maybe he'll try the quad in the Senior B's, and if it works out for him, he'll bring it to JGP/Nationals/Junior Worlds?
Yes, I think so too. But we shall see.

Maybe they loved each other when young, but fell apart when competition started get in between their way.If Sasha and Adian end up having a great rivalry, maybe they could be the equivalent of "what if Plushy and Yags actually loved each other".
That would be very cute! (For some reason, it brings to mind the Hanyu vs. Fernandez thread, which was all about hugs and weddings!)If Sasha and Adian end up having a great rivalry, maybe they could be the equivalent of "what if Plushy and Yags actually loved each other".
