2015 Rostelecom Cup Pairs SP

I actually feel like Ksenia's held back significantly by her pair. She is about 4 times better at the whole expression thing. Best lady in pairs currently if you ask me.

phenomenal.

And who that's realistically available would you propose that she pair with who would be better? In Russia I don't think there is anyone. Trankov is better but he's not leaving his partnership, Smirnov is also probably better but not leaving his partnership and both of them are old. Everyone else IMO is worse than her current partner, or at a minimum not better, and she'd have to get used to working with this new person which would be a significant investment of time.
