Unfortunately Oksana and Max have withdrawn from Russian Nationals.

I'll miss seeing them, but at the same time I'm happy they'll have more time to work on their programs to be top form at the Euros and Worlds. Although I was all excited about seeing their Finnstep on Christmas Day...

[Renee V]

Yes, would have loved to see their Finnstep too!
It's probably better though that they've decided not to compete nor skate in galas between now and Europeans. I also heard that it was on doctors advice that they decided to withdraw. Get some rest and stay healthy for Euros and Worlds.
