Excellent, another skating weekend!
Not that I mind, but... does it say why? *curious*Tarasova/Morozov are planning to go to the Challenge Cup in The Hague instead
Didn't they say that none of the National Champions will attend the Cup Final, so that they can focus on preparing for worlds?Not that I mind, but... does it say why? *curious*

It doesn't say in the article, but it would make sense to prepare for Worlds.Didn't they say that none of the National Champions will attend the Cup Final, so that they can focus on preparing for worlds?
Now I remember, someone saw it on twitter and we discussed it in the RMT. No-one was sure if the information was accurate though, but it seems now that there was some truth to it.It doesn't say in the article, but it would make sense to prepare for Worlds.
I'm not really surprised as this is a common occurrence that leading skaters don't turn up for the final. It's right, some things are just taken for granted and are not really news. I don't usually relay 'news' that everyone is expecting anyway. Must be the lockdown, sorry.Now I remember, someone saw it on twitter and we discussed it in the RMT.

Lol, same. Pre-pandemic I only ever used to lurk on here, but since lockdown I feel like I'm spending half my days discussing minor figure skating tidbits on GSF. It's fun, but I'm still looking forward to life returning back to normal. It will be better in summer, less skating ( ) and more warm evenings for outdoor activities.I'm not really surprised as this is a common occurrence that leading skaters don't turn up for the final.

Well, so much for taking it slow and preparing for worlds.I have just now found out that Mikhail Kolyada is on the latest update for entrees at the Challenge Cup.
Perhaps it is part of the preparation: it's an international competition with no spectators, just as Worlds is going to be. Smaller scale maybe, but having no audience at all is different from what he's used to for now.Well, so much for taking it slow and preparing for worlds.
Was thinking the same. It is mentally better preparation for these Worlds to travel somewhere and perform for empty stands, than crowded Megasport in Moscow.Perhaps it is part of the preparation: it's an international competition with no spectators, just as Worlds is going to be.
