Since Russia has already qualified a team to Tokyo so performance at Worlds is not critical.

The women’s team, according to Rodionenko, will be Angelina Melnikova, Lilia Akhaimova, Aleksandra Shchekoldina, Daria Spiridonova, and Angelina Simakova, while Anastasia Agafonova will likely be the reserve.

Aliya did not compete at the trial but will continue training for 2020.

Maria Paseka had a bad meet and was very disappointed. She says she wants to change everything about her training.
