Bazarova's jumps are HORRIBLE. GOEs should be all -3s
Third spot is decided by federation. And 1st and 2nd spots based on Europeans.Is the third spot to be decided at Nationals or Europeans?
Sure. ;-) I talked to a Federation official this morning. He said he doesn't think they'd be ready for Europeans. They train and do the pair elements, but he doesn't jump yet. He thinks they probably could be considered for Worlds. For Olympic Games - probably not. The top two teams from Nationals go to Europeans, the third spot at Euros will be given to Volosozhar/Trankov.

Thanks. But I thought neither V&T nor K&S were going to Europeans?
Argh thanks. I didn't know K&S are out of the Olympics.
That means both B&L and S&K will make Sochi with V&T? That just makes this whole Nationals very unexciting! Glad I am only reading about this after the event.
(still, I am glad the right team won Nationals)
Euros is a qualifying event to the Olympics and K/S wont be there. They haven't competed all season and its not like they are vastly superior to Russia's 3rd team S/K. Tough decisions but I hope S/K get to go to the Olympics.
Vera Bazarova/Yuri Larionov
3T - she fell (before he had taken off)
S/K should be far ahead in PCS, too. This whole program looked labored and it totally lacked intepretation, flow and determination
Will the Russian Federation consider K and S or is it over for them. I think it would be a miracle and I would be against it if it were not for what I saw the JSF did with Daisuke at the expense of Kozuka and Oda - poor Oda was so upset he just retired . B and L need to sort out those jumps and V and T must be scared now that the Germans have beaten them at the GPF and could do it again at the Olympics especially if the Germans do the throw triple axel.
