Question out of curiosity:
What does it mean when some people are saying that Virtue/Moir "withdrew" from Finlandia this year.
Had their names ever appeared on an official Finlandia entry list?
And/or on the Skate Canada assignment list?
Or had V/M just made an informal comment early on about Finlandia?
I know that they have an old history with Finlandia. Competed there at least once, plus they once were a late withdrawal b/c Scott tweaked his neck, IIRC.
But I apparently have missed the basis for the comments that they "withdrew" this year.
ETA:
I have stumbled across a reference to V/M and Finlandia on the IFS FB page at the time of HPC ... but did Tessa/Scott refer to Finlandia on camera at HPC? In the YT video attached to the FB post, they themselves do not mention Finlandia.
Although IFS reported them as being assigned to Finlandia at HPC, it was never confirmed anywhere else, and their names never appeared on the entry list.

Scott said during High Performance Camp that their next two competitions were Autumn Classic and Skate Canada International ...
ppl on FSo say its because they're not 100% prapared & the trip wasnt paid for by the Fed so they decided not to go waste moneyVera and Andrei are no longer listed....

Yes it is. Kovtun is not in Finland yet.https://www.instagram.com/p/BLLbymTgu8F/?taken-by=alex.petrow
I google translated Kovtun's question, and he's asking if it is the practice rink - I presume that it is?
I don't know, but I'm fairly sure he's done at least one other competition before this one?
Helsinki is literally my favorite city in the World. Followed closely by Stockholm and Valencia Spain.
Am I going to freeze in Helsinki in March? I have hearty Chicago blood, but I don't know!
We had to wear those full face beanies like this one just to walk around the city. https://ae01.alicdn.com/kf/HTB1RK_o...ool-Knitted-Beanies-for-Men-font-b-Head-b.jpg We looked like robbers.......
Thx for the info. Think I will get one of these awesome masks to wear in the arena! (not!)
