Good job with the last place? That's not how it works in Russia, I'm afraid. But hope dies last, of course. And who was that woman she was there with? I don't recall seeing her before..
Anastasiya has finished her season.
Despite the fact that her leg/foot/ankle wasn't fully healed, she decided to have a go in the final competition of the season. After the result of the SP, when a place on the team was out of reach, she decided not risking a re-injury again.
Sad, though expectable. I like her skating and I truly hope her next season will be more succesful and without injuries. If she will go to seniors, let her get at least one GP.
Hopefully her place on the reserve team isn't in jeopardy. That team is getting very crowded also. But I am still worried over her chances next season.
For now let's hope Nastya will be inwited to the test skates.
How so?But lets not forget that she is still in the seasons best list
How so?
She looks to be in really good shape which makes it all the more frustrating that she can't keep going and keeps missing events. That cannot happen to Nastya next season.
Aren't they called open skates because they are open to the skaters? Nastya looks to be in good physical shape. Hopefully she still has a bright future with the Russian Federation. She's only 15 so she still has a chance. and I would think if you're on the national team or national team as a reserve as a junior or senior that you would be at test skates or open skates.But at least the seasons best list assures her a GP start next season. So I do think that she will be invited to test skates.

Finally something new! And here's Nastya's reply in the comments: "Hello, everything is fine, I will slowly prepare for the next season..."
That's a good sign!
