The 'latest novelties & agrave; respect for & ograve; dance as the couple Azerbaijani Zlobina / Sitnikov (pictured), for reasons known at the time, gave up both Skate America and the Rostelecom Cup. Moreover, we must not forget that the Russians Bobrova / Soloviev, gi & agrave; retired from the stage in the United States, are still enrolled in Troph & egrave, and Eric Bompard, but are unlikely to be ready for the second half & agrave; November.
The 'current alternate list & egrave; the following
144.78 (ITA) - Guignard / Fabbri (gi & agrave are enrolled at Skate America) 137,20 (SVK) - Head / Csolley137,60 (CAN) - Orford / Williams (gi & agrave are enrolled at Skate America) 133.35 (KOR ) - Kim / Minov (gi & agrave; enrolled in Troph & egrave, and Eric Bompard) 131.66 (EST) & ndash; Shtork / Rand
The 'invitation to Skate America remains in runoff between Head / Csolley, Kim / Minov and Shtork / Rand.
After the American federation avr & agrave; made his choice, the Russians Kosigina / Moroshkin will go in the top five dell''alternate list and will be taken into consideration for a possible repechage (but not for the stage house which counts among members gi & agrave, three Russian couples). In light of the current situation, increase perci & ograve; the chances of Italian Guiganrd / Fabbri to get the coveted second stage.
Behind Kosigina / Moroshkin are positioned Turks Agafonova / Ucar
127.96 (TUR) & ndash; Agafonova / Ucar127,51 (DEN) & ndash; Fournier Beaudry / Sorensen127,40 (CAN) - Paradis / Oullette124,33 (FIN) & ndash; Lindholm / Kanervo122,92 (USA) & ndash; Pogrebinsky / Gudis121,01 (GBR) & ndash; Smart / Buckland119,34 (USA) - Cannuscio / Mcmanus118,66 (GEO) & ndash; Telegina / Japaridze116,67 (UKR) - Korotitskia / Spodirev116,38 (GER) & ndash; Schiffner / Salatzki116,34 (CHN) - Zhang / Wu (gi & agrave; enrolled in the Cup of China) 115,66 (CHN) - Wang / Liu (gi & agrave; enrolled in the Cup of China) 114.18 (BLR) & ndash; Kavialiova / Bieliaiev113,89 (FIN) - Karmi / Lindholm113,49 (ISR) - Reed / Rogov113,30 (CAN) & ndash; Soucisse / Tanguay
& Nbsp;
Regarding the pairs of artistic, the problems are greater. At the time, the vacancies are four (1 Skate America, NHK Trophy 1 and 2 Cup of China), but could become even six perch & egrave; expect news on the conditions of Kayne / O''Shea.
A brief should be the official 'invto at Skate America Vanessa Grenier / Maxime Deschamps, who will occupy the box freed from lump sum of Volosozhar / Trankov. Moreover, the students of Richard Gauthier should have concrete chance to participate in the Cup of China, which currently faces two waivers (three if you pull back even Kayne / O''Shea).
The 'current alternate list & egrave; the following:
144.23 (RUS) - Cherniavskaia / Souza-Kordyeru 139.95 (CHN) - Wang / Zhang130,46 (BLR) - Paliakova / Bochkov123,54 (PRK) - Pak / I Song157,06 (CAN) - Grenier / Deschamps (score in the season 2014-2015)
To follow, ready to enter in the top five of the list, there are Americans Calalang / Sidhu (156.18 in the current season), last pair to be in compliance with the requirements of stand as a candidate & agrave ;.
In these ores moment, the scenario pi & ugrave; plausible & egrave; that, in addition to all''invito Grenier / Deschamps at the Cup of China, see Calalang / Sidhu selected for both the Chinese stage for the Japanese.
In fact, it seems that the Russian Federation is skeptical in allowing the couple Cherniavskaia / Souza-Kordyeru to take part in the Grand Prix because it does not yet considered all''altezza. In addition, the Chinese Wang / Zhang left the lap of the national team, despite still being in business & agrave ;. If to all this we add that the North Korean federation & egrave; always been reluctant to make their athletes to compete in international competitions that were not the Olympics and Olympic qualifying, we understand how the solutions to cover any other waivers are reduced all''osso.
However, especially for the stages that will take place in late November, could looming possibility un''altra & agrave ;, which could "clip the wings" of both Grenier / Deschamps that Calalang / Sidhu. The organizing committees could wait a few weeks in the names of the substitutes nell''attesa other couples who fail to meet the minimum scores to stand as a candidate & agrave; dall''ISU fixed. At this point, they could return to the game, for example, the Russians Davankova / Enbert enrolled all''Autumn Classic & agrave met; October.
& Nbsp;
As regards, finally, the sector male and female, filed the 'invitation Zhan Bush at Skate Canada, there have been no novelty & agrave; in the last hour.
