It is worth to stress that we are talking about the tournament in Stockholm. Question to the composition of the March World Championships in Shanghai, according to the president Alexander Gorshkov FFKKR, was not discussed.
At the same time, it is obvious that it will choose from the list. This explains the presence there of the double Olympic champion Tatiana Volosozhar and Maxim Trankov, which is not exactly going to Stockholm. Partner only a few weeks before the tournament complete rehabilitation after shoulder surgery and will be allowed to fully exercise.
According to the existing selection rules, a Shanghai-2015 accurately send the winners and silver medalists of the tournament in Sochi. A question from the third number (three vacancies on the World Cup-2015 Russia, we recall, is in all forms, except the men’s figure skating) appear in all the circumstances, will be decided after the European Championship. According to the selection rules, the definition of the owner of the job remains at the discretion of the federation.
At this the time finally resolve the issue about the composition of the European Championship is scheduled for mid-January. Especially because according to tradition the first replacement is still always prepare for the tournament for the case of force majeure.
On the 15th day appointed control rental with Adelina Sotnikova and Ekaterina Bobrova – Dmitry Solovyov, the results of which will determine their readiness to start. And 16 January can announce the final list of the team. Substitutions in other species, except for dance and women’s figure skating, is not expected to Stockholm.
It is possible that the list will remain unchanged at all. Since no one can say with certainty whether skaters named to the end of January to get fit enough to compete and to roll out its complex programs.
None of them currently has not yet resumed full training process . After all, it is clear that Adeline and Catherine with Dmitry, subject to status and titles, to keep a certain level. Otherwise they just do not understand.
In While the current third rooms are very well on the national championship and ready to act in Stockholm without any reservations. And as said Alexander Gorshkov, just change the team for the European Championship, no one will.
It is quite likely option, in which Sotnikov Bobrova and Soloviev to not go to Stockholm and get extra time to recover from had their health problems. Given the post-Olympic status of the current season and the coming of the whole Olympic cycle to survive, this option has its advantages.
But they will certainly be considered a part of the World Cup. And here a very large role to play results of the European Championship. So all in Stockholm, whose position in the first part can be considered relatively weak, you will need to show maximum.
