Seventeen-year-old Chinese contestant Chen Yun-Sheng felt unwell during the second round of performances. He refused to continue because he was extremely tired.
The jury board, chaired by Viktor Tretyakov, then proposed that Inna Yakusheva should take his place in the competition.
She will perform the second-round programme on 24 September during the morning auditions.
Mikhail Usov, whose draw number was next, will perform in the afternoon. There will thus be four contestants performing at the end of the second round.
