Alyona Shchennikova’s participation in the Voronin Cup last week and the fact that she has yet to sign her NLI for Michigan led to some speculations that she might consider a nationality switch. According to College Gym News, such a switch is not in the cards and Shchennikova plans to keep representing the U.S. internationally. She just wanted to compete in Moscow to get more international experience. Regarding her NCAA career, she’s still set on Michigan but is considering deferring.
