Kolyada withdrew. Pity they didn't add any subs.
Is Kolyada even going to make it to 2022? He was sick half of last season too and in the end it hurt him badly

I would hope someone else gets a chance in 2022 anyway. He had his opportunity and completely blew it.

Except they all tend to do well as juniors. Then they get to seniors and it all goes downhill
I highly doubt he can last that long not because he doesn't have the talent but because he's getting worse year after year. He's had one good competition in his whole career and that was that first Worlds when he finished 4th. His quad toe is hit or miss, he's had issues with the axel and popping, he doesn't have a flip jump and that three jump combo gives him issues.
Ultimately, I think, it's not going to be that he won't be skating in 2022 it's that another two or three guys will likely beat him. The talent pool in Russia is slim but there are some guys that are starting to hit quads and or have routines that maximize their scores.
Ignatov did a quad toe and a quad sal, Gumennik does quad salchows and is trying a quad lutz plus he has a triple lutz triple loop combo, Samsonov has potential and then there is the older guard Aliev, Samarin, Voronov, etc.
Well, Dmitri just did a very good SP at Nepela, so glad he landed all his stuff--after last year, that's exactly what he needed. Hopefully he's back on track. Let's see what happens in the FS.
Daniil made historical success today:

His score 250.51 is the highest among junior men, I believe.
Samsonov is the hope of russia. already making records in juniors I wont bank on Aliev or Kolyada as both are inconsistent.
Samarin only has jumps and not very stable either.
Samsonov and Gumennik
