So who will take team medal instead of Russia?
:yes:

stop hyping Gachinski he isn't making the Olympics, not going to happen
It could happen. He has the talent. If he wins Russian Nationals and then finishes the highest of all the Russian Men at Europeans, then I don't see why he would be denied of trip in favor of Kovtun.

They aren't stupid. If Gachinski skates like he did at 2012 Europeans and none of the other guys deliver, then he would clearly be the best bet for Sochi to replace Plushenko.
That was almost 2 years ago and Gachinski has not shown nearly enough consistency. Gachinski would literally have to skate that well to have a shot, and I don't think he has it in him at this point. It's like saying Leonova can make the Russian team since she skated to a silver at the 2012 Worlds.

Even if Gachinski somehow happens to skate really well at Russian Nationals and Europeans, I still doubt very much that he could repeat it at the Olympics. I agree, he just does not have that in him.
Sure then you could say anyone can make the team. Haruka Imai can make the Japanese women's team, and Voronov can make it to Sochi as the Russian men's representative. Right?
I'm all for supporting skaters but then why not say Gachinski will win the Olympics since there's a possibility that all the other guys will fall.
So if the ice is slippery, all Sergei has to do is trade his see-through lingerie for Artur's beautiful costume and rock Sochi.

You better talk this way about Voronov. He's getting better and better, learned 3Lz that was missing, added second quad to the FS. He is older and he knows he won't have another Olympic chance. Tutberidze's students are all on fire now. And he placed over Gachinski twice this season.
