Pretty gutted for Abt. Rumour is he is injured (again) and may withdraw.

Only 7 pairs are competing at Russian Nats? My, how times have changed.

Volchkova's marks and placement are dismal. Any word on what happened?

[LTM]

I tried to follow the live feed (but it freezed very often) - so the only thing I can say, her jumps were just not there.... I saw two step-outs, one two-footed jump and only one clean. (But remember, I couldn't follow every move).

So with Soldatova finishing 2nd overall, (I'm So Happy She Didn't Leave), will she compete at world because I think she last represented Belarus at Olympics so now it should be long enough for her to represent Russia. Any any biography on this 4th place skater for the ladies?

What happened to Timchenko in senior men? Isn't he skating anymore?

[CanadianSkater]

Wow, I just saw Evgeni's marks...unbelievable. I don't think I have ever seen better.

Now why don't the Russian judges ever give those marks like 5.4. 5.5, etc to their people when they are in a national competition like they did the first pair listed on the free skate?

Soldatova?! Don't she now compete for Belarus?

Obviously she returned to Russia. But now she has to wait again until she can compete for Russia internationally....
