  • One thing is sure, they cannot all play together for Russian team. Tsokur and Goncharova both have played for Ukraine NT, I don't know if Andrushko played for Belarus. But definitely only one of Tsokur and Goncharova can be in Russian team.

  • Andrushko is already in the Russian team, so there is no barrier for her. The other two, I don't see why they can not. You can play for another NT if you haven't played for your own for 2 years.

    That's true, but I think that on a NT there can be only one player who played for another country before. I remember that it was a big problem for Croatia some years ago. I don't know if the rules have changed since then.

    No, you remember well, the rules didn't change. Only one player who did play for another NT, is allowed to play in a new NT.


    For example, Aguero, Francia and Costagrande played the first two in Cuban NT, the other in Argentine NT. Only one of those three can play in Italian NT. Until Aguero plays in NT, Costagrande cannot.
    A different thing is about Rybacewski, Lozancic, Kociniewski... They always played for France, so they can be on the team together. Only Ravva played for another NT, right??


    About Goncharova, she still plays for Ukraine. At least she did in the Olympic Pre-Qualification Tournament.

  • Again, for the sake of the other teams, I hope all three can't play together :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

  • How does Andrushko play? I've never seen her (except the brief apparence in Halle).
