Grand Prix updates: Weir out of Paris, Nagasu added to NHK, and more
UPDATE 11/15/12: And another one (possibly). Twitter is abuzz today with the news that Julia Lipnitskaia is questionable for Trophee Eric Bompard because of an injured right ankle. There is no withdrawal at this point, however.
UPDATE 11/14/12: Aliona Savchenko and Robin Szolkowy have withdrawn from Trophee Eric Bompard this week, ending their chances to qualify for the Grand Prix Final. As a result, the anticipated showdown between them and Tatiana Volosozhar and Maxim Trankov at the Final will have to wait at least another month until Europeans.
UPDATE 11/14/12: American Alissa Czisny, who underwent surgery for her left hip over the summer, has withdrawn from NHK Trophy. Czisny had originally requested to be assigned to the last Grand Prix event of the series in order to give herself as much time as possible to recover and train.
With the final two Grand Prix events of the season coming up there have been a few additions, subtractions, and a status-uncertain from the original lineups. The International Skating Union released an updated entrants list today that reflects the changes
Trophee Eric Bompard
After an aggravated ACL injury forced Johnny Weir to withdraw midway through competition at Rostelecom Cup over the weekend, Weir has officially scratched from this week's Trophee Eric Bompard in Paris as well. In ice dance, Azerbaijan's Julia Zlobina and Alexei Sitnikov have been added to the lineup.
In the ladies' competition, a few withdrawals announced earlier in the series - Yretha Silete, Carolina Kostner, and Miki Ando - opened up spots for Elena Glebova, Joshi Helgesson, and Christina Gao.
In pairs, pre-competition favorites Aliona Savchenko and Robin Szolkowy are uncertain for the competition. Savchenko has been dealing with the flu since winning Skate Canada and has not been fully training. If they do end up withdrawing, it opens up a spot for the Grand Prix Final that they would likely qualify for.
NHK Trophy
At NHK Trophy, American Mirai Nagasu has been added to the ladies' competition after Polina Shelepen withdrew due to an ankle injury. Nagasu was fourth at Cup of China, and her entry into NHK keeps her hopes alive for the Grand Prix Final, which is still within reach, especially given the ups and downs of some of the ladies this season. Nagasu joins teammates Alissa Czisny and Agnes Zawadzki on the American ladies' squad at NHK.
In pairs, Germany's Mari Vartmann and Aaron Van Cleave withdrew and Americans Alexa Scimeca and Chris Knierim are in.

经过了前四站女单的结果，本来就已经心中没底了，小小卡亚如果退了话，我肯定直接估计前三是瓦格纳、ET、小高。另外6位就是黑马的代表。
