I didn't during GP, but now, if he improves his TES, definitely, yes.

Kovtun...

Menshov, yay!!

He deserved that spot!

In all honesty, he has. He's skated consistently at both Russian Nationals and Euros.

It's extreme stupidity if Plushenko goes just because Kovtun skated poorly.

Send Kovtun to Plushenko's test skate!

Kovtun getting lower PCS than Voronov is .

Not a bad job from Brezina but that program is not great. It's a shame that 'skating late bonus' will probably push him over Menshov.

Congrats to Javier on another Euros title!!! :agree:

And also I'm very happy for Menshov... he's been shafted by the Russian fed for so long, so a Euros medal is definitely great for him.

I am so happy that Menshov can finish his skating career with a Europeans medal. He deserves it for his longevity and for having improved a lot post-25, Butyrskaya-style.

And how is Kovtun beating Menshov in PCS by 2 points?

I'm so happy for Menshov! The russian fed should really reconsider a desicsion between their top 4 guys. But it won't happen, Menshov and Voronov just don't have the "star power". Meh.

And Yaaaaay!! for Javi!! Welcome back Mr. Charmer, what a cute interview too.

This is something totally unexpected. What must be going on in Russian officials' head... I do not wish to know.

Javi: "yes, I think I will be sent."

Potato Medal Brezina strikes again. I'm sorry for him, but I'm so happy for Menshov!
who's the Russian going to Sochi? I don't like Voronov, Kovtun blew it, Plushenko is like Tutankhamon putting the curse on all his heirs.
Go Kostya!

Honestly, Voronov and Menshov should have shots at making the Olympic team.

The Russian fed must be scratching their heads now.

The only solution is a skate-off between Voronov, Menshov, Plushenko and Kovtun, IMO.
