I am not sure, can you just go to the Russian Cup Final without participating in any competitions that lead up to it (Russian Cup stages or Senior/Junior Nationals)?Well, Kudriavtseva/simeneko couldn't qualify for the junior nationals because a half of the season they both skated with different partners. A few weeks ago they did a competition together and got a pretty decent score- 161.96. Not bad for their first competition, which took place just a few months after they paired up. So to me it would make a sense to compete in as many competitions as possible, to make the federation invite them for the nationals of Elder Age, and then hopefully get some decent result to get two JGP events next season. After all, at their competition they did beat Pavliuschenko/Khodykin, who placed 5th at the junior nationals, and they also beat Atakhanova/Spiridonov who placed second at the junior nationals. Not sure why are they not doing the Russian cup final. If they were ready to compete a few weeks ago (and have done so well), they are very likely ready to compete now too.
