The Russian Ministry of Sports has approved the skaters nominated for Team Russia 2019-2020. The team this season will have a very different look to the previous one.
With so many ladies vying for places on the squad, there were some that missed the cut. The Russian ladies have 12 spots on the Grand Prix circuit next season, but with seven ladies on the list below, it could be that two skaters will get one each, or one person will get two — and the other will not be assigned.
With three of the seven ladies moving up from the junior ranks, it was expected that a number of the seasoned veterans who might have hoped for a place on this team would not get one. However, as in previous seasons, it is possible that some of the other ladies will be assigned to Senior B events and other competitions as the year progresses.
Anastasia Mishina and Alexander Galliamov, the reigning Junior Grand Prix and World Junior pairs champions, have also made the leap into the senior ranks and earned a place on this team.
In ice dance, Sofia Shevchenko and Igor Eremenko, the 2019 World junior bronze medalists, will compete as seniors this season. They, along with Annabelle Morozova (the daughter of coach Nikolai Morozov) and Andrei Bagin, were assigned to the reserve list.
