Also i wonder why they just put Ignatov on the sub list now, since last year he made it to JGPF...
He was a sub for Bratislava and then disappeared but Rukavitsyn hasn't said anything about him but did do a soundbite on Sotnikova recently

Samarin apparently is recovering from an injury (another off-season injury ) so that's probably affecting his ability to do Challenger events.hopefully he can get a JGP... he can only get 6th one though unless RusFed pulls someone out.

Artur Dmitriev is currently assigned to Nebelhorn Trophy 2018!
edit: so i look it up and only Samarin who is yet to get challenger and Kovtun but he's not doing GP. So i guess Samarin will go to Finlandia/ACI ? leaning towards Finlandia though.
I respect Mishin for his past achievements of course ,but unfortunately for him every time he mentions Mika it's just so obvious that there is some sort of personal grudge/jealousy/bias... that it makes his opinion otherwise valuable much less so...
I don't believe for a moment that Mika is not training hard enough or the training structure is lacking somehow, the quality in everything he does speaks for himself (Mishin's students with textbook jump technique, gorgeous SS & great spins combined - where are they may I ask?). His problems are entirely mental - a lack of self confidence, competitive attitude, killer instinct you name it but it is all between the ears...he is not lacking stamina either so nothing wrong with his training as such but mental preparation is an issue and I think this is what they went to Raf for (though it could not be said that Nathan has no problem in that department either)

Kovalev is such a performer, his LP at Linz was really enjoyable besides the mistake on the 3A, he just needs to work his consistency.
Oh, i really like his fire and determination. Such a lot of potential there. Even when Savosin was much better in jumps, Kovalev is the one i want to see more. Let's hope he will be injury free and won't gain a lot of height all of the sudden (he has the age when this could happen overnight). Can he jump any quads?
Who knows? If i remember correctly, Lambiel had problems a lot with his 3A but his 4T was very good. Sometimes a jump makes more problem than other.
I hope that Plushenko can help Kovalev to be more sure on his jumps. His other elements are great for his age and he has charisma, something i miss at the moment at both Savosin and Erokhov.
Plush works with him sometimes on his jumps but not continously and it seems they have agreement Volkov is Artem's main coach. They weren't in the summer camp of the Academy in Bulgaria.
