Artem B. has good position in Russian federation's eyes. He is fighter, he won silver medal at Junior Worlds last year (when he broke his leg in November 2007, he started to skate in early January 2008, he started to jump only one months before Junior Worlds). He finished fourth in Cup of China (there were no big names except European Champion Verner).
It was obvious right before Russian Nats that Pisejev wants him to skate at Euros. Sure Artem B. was nervous but unfortunately I think that his triple axel is not stable jump for him yet - he will have big problems to land triple axels at Euros (and technical specialist will wait and check whether it was fully rotated).
