Unless one of them completely bombs at Europeans I can hardly imagine a different team.

The changing of the guard was the passing of the torch from Anna to Kamila.Is what changing of the guard?
And let's hold the talk on the goat talk. That won't do anyone any good especially KV. Her head may explode.Let's wait until after the Olympics I mean a lot can still happen and we live in a crazy world with this virus taking a toll on athletes all over the world in all sports.
I hope they all stay healthy and let the chips fall where they may.
And its certainly not premature. Kamila will face a much easier field at tbe Olympics. You thrashed the toughest field ever seen with your best skate. GOAT credentials any way you slice it.
This was the Olympics times 5.
Her killing the skaters from the Nordic countries won’t be that impressive, that won’t alter her goat status.

Congrats to the medalists, the trio is exactly as I expected, though the order at 2nd and 3rd place is slightly different. Instead of thinking about what should have been different now is the time to prepare for the Olympics without the doubts about who will be sent.
And congrats to Adeliya the little firecracker! Two clean quad loops for the first time in ladies! Yeah.
I'm sad for Maiia a little, but I hope she won't give up. She is still 5th senior and I can imagine a scenario where one, two or maybe all three olympians won't go to the worlds. And this surely is not her last season, just first senior and considering what underdog she was two years ago she is fighting with the best as their equal.

I concur. I want Maiia to continue. There is something there and I have a feeling that one day she will put it all together and take the next step.

Maya is only 15 and considerably taller than everyone else in this competition. She will need more time to develop and fill out her frame and long limbs.
If there is a world championship this year and it better be even if they have to move it from Japan I hope Maya has a chance to go as a replacement. But KV will want to go because she's never been to a worlds. They won't stop her if she's healthy.

The feeling some of us are experiencing right now.
Though I have to say, despite this being an olympic season, last year it was like 100x more emotional for me somehow. Maybe because it was the true highlight of the season while this time it is more like an episode in the struggle for the olympics.

Would you send Kamila to Euros?
Obviously they will and she will want to go and collect that gold but if it was up to you.
I'm kinda torn between the fact that she looks as muscular, fit and healthy as you can and that her confidence is growing with every outing Vs. the fear of having her get injured, burn out, become complacent or build up too much pressure to repeat "perfect" time after time before the actual Olympic competition, Lipnitskaya style.

I don‘t think 4 little letters can jinx anyone.Please don't Jinx KV with his goat stuff.
That said she is phenomenal.
The snake venom that she drinks makes her jinx proof.

Seriously Europeans are like little snack. And I remember one skater (was it even Kamila herself?) who said that competitions are actually the only moments of relax between trainings

Europeans is in a close by country Estonia yeah so I think that's to the advantage of kV and all the skaters.
Because of the pandemic and the propensity for athletes fit as can be from all over the world testing positive I would not send her. Especially since she can't win all the medals this year anyway because they killed GPF.
But her club at sambo 70 is not the play it's safe kind of people. Especially since they probably figure if something happens to the KaMissile they still have Anna or Sasha to win the olympic gold.

I will say KV has changed a lot in the last year physically and as a skater she's even better.
If that's the case it will be a first for RusFed.

Drafting Kamila with number 1, this competition lasted exacly 2 minutes and 40 seconds.The feeling some of us are experiencing right now.

There really was no pathos about who would win.
My idea of Kami scoring tonight was "Take your gold and go away girl! we have to discuss about the classification from second to last"
