The Russian national champs start 11/6, which is unusually early in the season. In recent years they have tended to be a bit later, too close to the major champs to allow the athletes to peak twice, but not close enough for them to carry their form through. This has tended to mean in competitive events like the women's 400 & 800 they haven't quite lived up to expectations in the majors. With the champs being next week this should hopefully mean we will see better performances when it counts.
The timetable doesnt really allow a womens 200/400 double, with the 200m SF being 45 mins before the 400m F.
The Znamensky Memorial is on 24/6, so you'd expect further selections for Gothenberg to be made then.
