But it's true that compared to what it was previously, Russia now has quite a depleted field and is no longer dominating men's skating like that used to. Yes Plushenko is still competing and has been for 15 years now. And Russia seems desperate to keep him eligible exactly because of their otherwise depleted men's field. As for dance being Russia's weakest descpline, well we know for sure whoever said that has not been paying any attention to the junior circuit.
Eh, Russia has more junior circuit success than Canada or the USA in ice dance between 2000 and 2010, but I'd assert that Canada and USA now have deeper fields.
