Completely boarded the B / K train. They are simply amazing !!
Looking ahead already to IdF, I'm exciting to see how Mishina/Galliamov and Pavliuchenko/Khodykin stack up against each other. I think one of them will win and, if both teams skate the way they have been so far, then we have a real competition among the younger teams for spots at Euros and Worlds.
My expectations are M/G first, P/K second, which will be enough for the latter to get into the GPF. It will be interresting to see who will be appointed to Worlds and Euros, but I think that represenation will depend more on rusnats than on GP. But oner way or the other, Russian pairs will soon experience nearly the same competitive environment as in ladies, becaue many of the young teams (B/K, M/G, P/K, P/R, A/K) are super strong already or have the chance to be super strong soon.

At this point, I'm not sure about P/K's power to reach the top, and I hope M/G can do it, because it would be pretty interesting to have a super young trio of teams leading Russia, especially seeing that the Olympics are still a couple of years away.

I had my doubts about P/K too, but I have to say that they improved a lot. At US skate they were very close to gold. Their interpretaton side is lagging behid the tech a little, but it is much better than during the last season and if they will continue, I'm sure they will erase the gap soon.
Though I'm interrested whether we will see Zabiiako/Enbert this season. They have vastly improved last season and the bronze at worlds as well as great performances there and at WTT were putting them among the strongest current pairs.

Some health issues. It is still unknown whether they are going to compete at the Nationals or sit out the whole season.Where are Zabiiako/Enbert? How long are they out for?

I'm really curious about that. Sasha Enbert currently gives lessons in a figure skating camp for children in Moscow, together with Sergei Komolov, Maria Kasumova, Max Kovtun and Fedor Klimov.
What a great progress you have admitted for B/K from tier B team to number 2 candidate in Russia. But still sure that M/G are secure # 1 and others are going to fight for vacant positions.I'm more interested on how T/M will rank this season in russian ranking
can they fight B/K for the second position ?
I dont think they are coming back, they're done.
Russia have many young new pairs etem now with better tech.

We know starla16 ...M/G are your first team ... even if B/K beat difficult teams in her home ice .. they will never be your number one team (but they are progressing they are now a number 2 in two weeks) ... and poor T/M faill once and are almost dead .. even I .. that like all teams and have a soft spot for B/K .. don't think they are yet the number one .. in best cases they are making there case for a number 2 ... because T/M only need to skate clean to beat everyone else
And I hope Z/E comeback they don't have any reason for not to .. and if I recall was Enbert that was hurt
And I consider myself big M/G fan and still don't think they are No. 1...
