Last year he was somehow with Tutberidze. Dunno, that’s how I remembered it from junior nationalsHasn't he been with Mishina/Star Ice since at least 2013?
I think you are confusing Zhenya with Egor Rukhin. Zhenya has been trained by Tatiana Mishina since when he’s been doing double jumpsLast year he was somehow with Tutberidze. Dunno, that’s how I remembered it from junior nationals
Oh, okay! Sorry, Semenenko!I think you are confusing Zhenya with Egor Rukhin. Zhenya has been trained by Tatiana Mishina since when he’s been doing double jumps
Samarin was in a show iirc, saying he is well. Aliev has been quiet lately?What’s the current word on Aliev and Samarin? I assume between the two of them the one who is the most healthy is the one who goes to Nebelhorn
I can certainly understand sending Aliev, but if they're not sending him, I'd send Kondratyuk or Ignatov before Samarin. Or possibly a healthy Danielian or even Gummenik. I know Samarin's tech can be high, but so can most of the other skaters I mentioned, and I think they all have better PCS. More importantly, they deliver at least some of the time; Samarin hasn't been delivering recently.What’s the current word on Aliev and Samarin?

I’d make a series of competitions solely to decide which is the most consistent to send. We know Russian men
Oh, definitely. But I was more thinking on the lines of who to send to the Olympics, but then, we can also assume the season is going to run more smoothly this time?The only problem with that is that Nebelhorn (unless they are moving it) is at the beginning of the season, usually skaters use it as a warm up competition prior to their GP events. Issues with doing a series of competitions before that, Its going to cause athletes to shorten their off-season to recover or could affect their preparation for the upcoming season and making them have a mini-series of competitions before the season going into a long season they risk tiring out someone by the time the Games roll around

I think test skates is before Nebelhorn, so that might be the deciding factor.The only problem with that is that Nebelhorn (unless they are moving it) is at the beginning of the season, usually skaters use it as a warm up competition prior to their GP events.

One (assuming we are just talking about the guys)How many skaters can Russia send for Nebelhorn?
