Why is Sofia Istomina (currently) left out? Is she injured or they just bypass her? Is she not ahead of Alisa Fedichkina? "Secret" :( new rules? Which is her club?

She is indeed ranked ahead of Alisa Fedichkina.
She trains with Inna Goncharenko at CSKA, so not sure why she's passed over.
I don't think she's injured.

Probably because Fedichkina is more famous and will likely do better.

But it's kind of a heavy blow to Sofia because I imagine participating there would have been the crowning achievement for her career.

I'm absolutely sure Alisa will score higher than 161.35. She got 178 in Zagreb (and beat Liza). And I love all this faux concern for a skater nobody was talking about before.

Well, sorry for liking a newbie skater even if YOU'VE never heard of her.
I happen to enjoy her skating and much rather would have seen her at nationals.
Ever think that this isn't "faux concern" or "phoney in essentials" but actually real? Because it is.

Some people sommented that Dmitry Soloviev already has someone lined up for next season... (just to add some fuel to the fire)

I heard that as well. I cannot imagine him with anybody but Katia. And I don't want to either...:p

I'm happy to known that Evgenia is available. She is now fully recovered and she feels no pain.

#EvgeniaMedvedeva gave an interview to Russian TV-channel «Vesti» on Deс 16, 2017:
My cast was taken off almost a week ago, and then I had to recover and retrieve my leg. But now I can say that I have got almost no pain and my leg is healed well.

Sonya Istomina qualified for the event but she's passed over. Is it too late for the last vacant spot after Zenya will miss the event?
