A bone bruise on her right foot has forced Olympian Polina Edmunds to withdraw from the 2016 World Figure Skating Championships, scheduled to start next week at the TD Garden in Boston. Mirai Nagasu, the 2016 U.S. pewter medalist, now will be the third entry for the U.S. women’s team. The injury limited Edmunds’ ability to train at full capacity leading up to the world championships, as she was unable to perform Lutz and flip jumps. A two-time national silver medalist, she placed ninth at the Sochi 2014 Olympic Winter Games. “While the decision to withdraw is disappointing, I don’t want to compete at the world championships without performing my hardest technical elements,” Edmunds said in a U.S. Figure Skating release announcing her withdrawal. “I go to competition with the goal of representing Team USA to the best of my ability and performing my strongest programs. I will take time to recover and am looking forward to preparing for next season. I wish Team USA and all competitors at worlds the best of luck.”

The Russian figure skaters will be difficult to show the same result as in Europe-2016 championship in the World Cup in 2016. This opinion was expressed CSKA Sports School coach and personal mentor twice vice-champion of Europe (2015, 2016), bronze medalist of the World Championship (2015) Inna Goncharenko, quoted by the press service of CSKA. The World Cup will be held in Boston (USA) from 28 March to 3 April. At the European Championship 2016, which took place in January in Slovakia Bratislava, the Russians occupied the whole podium. "I think it will be very difficult, because the World Cup - a constellation of the best figure skaters of the world, - said Goncharenko -. This is the main start of the season, and it will not be easy opponents." Goncharenko also shared views on whether the size of the rink will affect the United States (4 meters less than in Russia and in Europe) on the results of competitions. "It all depends on each person individually, - she said -. We have already performed on these rollers, and CSKA Moscow, we have the so-called" Canadian box ", which are beginning to train, and I think we can handle the smallest."

The Japanese star is no longer the promising teenager who won Olympic gold at age 19 in Sochi. Now 21, he has put up dominating wins and record-breaking scores this season. Heading into this week’s world championships, his competitors seem to need a good-luck charm much more than Hanyu. The problem for the rest of the field is that Hanyu’s advantages go beyond his two quadruple jumps in the short program and three in the long. At December’s Grand Prix Final, Hanyu set a record with 330.43 points to beat reigning world champion Javier Fernandez by more than 37. He boosted his score in nearly every way: bonus points for doing a quad and two triple axels later in his free skate, top marks for his spins. And his component scores, which include choreography and musical interpretation, were higher than those of Fernandez and Patrick Chan, the other past men’s world champion who will compete in Boston this week. That stems from Hanyu’s commitment to perfecting his skating skills, enhancing his feel for the ice, Orser said. “Some kids don’t always have that patience,” Orser said. “He got it. He started seeing how everything else improved, not just technically. But the way he could develop a program when you have that balance and that sense of glide that comes along with that foundation. Then you can start really choreographing.”
