I so hope they get send to euros, I feel they deserve it more than either Gerbold/Enbert or Mukhortova/Blanchard, considering their good results on the GP!

+1

I honestly think M/B would be better off skating for France: with such a deep Russian field, they'll have a hard time getting out of nationals with a world team spot.

Russia won't release Maria.

I can't bare to watch their program, it's hard seeing them falter like this
It's a shame because they are a gorgeous couple.

That is simply...stupid. Let the girl skate for France, like Annisina.

I'm sure they don't want another russian girl winning olympic gold for another country!

Russia won't release Maria.

Isn't there some rule that says that if a skater doesn't compete for a country for 2 years, the skater can go and compete for any other country that they want without needing to be released?

Oh yeah, like that would happen with Maria, let's be serious, how many years she 's got left in her career?

You're absolutely right, Maria won't win an olympic gold, I just found it amusing that you mentioned Annisina since I believe the Russian federation kicked themselves for releasing her. I would love to see Maria skating for France too!(and Akiko also!)
