they need to look into more consistent skaters, I agree Kolyada, Kovtun and Aliev are flops and don't do well in big pressure cooking events.
Dang it was looking so good for the Russian men this Euros!
Congratulations to Samarin on his sliver though.
I think Sergei Vonorov should go to Worlds if healthy, I know he's not super consistent either, but I think he implodes less than the alternatives.
I honestly don't see any reason to change the team for worlds. Every option they have is exactly the same.......a pot of gold one night and suck *** the next. Knowing the Russian men they can easily have the competition of a lifetime at Universiade or Russian Cup Final and still bomb Worlds or score huge at Worlds after flopping Russian Cup Final and Universiade. No one at this moment is consistent enough enough. So besides personal bias why change it? :confused2:

Just some news, Erokhov fans can expect to see him at JrNats this coming weekend. Who he pushes out, I can only guess.
is Erokhov still JWorlds elligible?
Russian men are relentlessly criticized in the Russian media for not and relentlessly criticized in the western media for not deserving any success they get because they have no programs and no artistry and don’t deserve their PCs marks. Time to realize this has completely destroyed all the Russian men and russian mens Skating
Who says Kolyada has to artistry and bad programs?
Honestly, I have never read it. Aliev was also praised a lot in that regard...
Samarin - now thats a different story. But 'Russian Men' are all individuals and have different strenghts and weaknesses.
