- Alexander Samarin.
Unfortunately, in men's single skating, the change of generations has dragged on. The glory of Alexei Yagudin and Evgeni Plushenko has long faded, and figure skaters from Russia are not yet able to pick up the fallen banner of the undeniably best on the planet. Maxim Kovtun has more or less good prospects for qualifying for the finals, while the rest of the galaxy of athletes have a long way to go to improve.
In women's single skating, the honor of the country will be defended by Evgenia Medvedeva, Elena Radionova, Alena Leonova, Anna Pogorilaya and others. It is noteworthy that neither Adelina Sotnikova nor Yulia Lipnitskaya will take part in the Grand Prix. The reasons for the absence of champions in 2014 are not reported.
In pair skating, Russia will be represented by:
- Ksenia Stolbova / Fedor Klimov;
- Natalia Zabiyako/Alexander Enbert;
- Evgenia Tarasova/Vladimir Morozov;
- Kristina Astakhova/Alexey Rogonov and others.
In the dance discipline, Ekaterina Bobrova / Dmitry Solovyov, Victoria Sinitsyna / Nikita Katsalapov, Alla Loboda / Pavel Drozd, Alexandra Stepanova / Ivan Bukin will demonstrate their programs. In this spectacular form of the program, which combines elements of choreography and acrobatics, a number of Russians have good chances of qualifying for the final.

World junior champions Yekaterina Aleksandrovskaya (18) and Harley Windsor (21) are performing together for the second season.
Ekaterina was born on January 1, 2000 in Moscow. Until December 2011 she worked single skating in SDUSHOR CSKA (Moscow), first with Inna Goncharenko, later with Svetlana Sokolovskaya. In the spring of 2012, she moved to Dnepropetrovsk, where for the first time she paired up with Vladislav Lysov in the pair skating group of the Meteor SC with coach Vladislav Zhovnirsky.
But in 2014, the girl returns to Moscow and becomes a couple with Alexander Epifanov in the Inspiration Sports Complex of the SDYUSSHOR " Sparrow Hills". However, due to low results, the couple does not seek the right to compete at international competitions.
In the spring of 2016, Ekaterina received an offer from the Australian Federation to perform with Harley Windsor under the guidance of Russian coaches Andrey Khekalo and Nina Moser. In summer Russian Federation agreed to change Catherine's sports citizenship.
And since the 2016/17 season, Alexandrovskaya has been playing for Australia. In early September, the couple made their debut on the international arena in Ostrava at the junior stage of the Grand Prix, where they took a place at the bottom of the standings. However, a month later in Tallinn at the next junior stage of the Grand Prix, they caused a sensation and won it. This allowed them to become the first substitutes for the final itself. In doing so, they qualified for the continental and junior championships.
A week later, the skaters also made their debut among adults in Espoo at the Trophy of Finland, where they were in the middle of the table.
At the beginning of December 2016 in Melbourne, Alexandrovskaya and Windsor confidently became the champions of Australia. At the Junior Grand Prix Final in Marseille, the Australian skaters finished fifth, but managed to improve their previous achievement in the short program.
In mid-February 2017, the couple made their first debut in South Korea at the continental championship, but did not perform quite confidently, finishing at the bottom of the standings.
