so will they sub Kovtun for Aliev or Lazukin ?
hes hitting the 198-220 range again in international, talk about all the hype.
If they want to keep 3 spots they have to gamble with Aliev maybe.
Kolyada is a headcase too, anyways Kolyada will be of no use once Gumennik and Samsonov hit seniors.
Gumennik will be senior next year then maybe Samsonov before 2022 Olympics.
Dang it was looking so good for the Russian men this Euros!
Congratulations to Samarin on his sliver though.
I think Sergei Vonorov should go to Worlds if healthy, I know he's not super consistent either, but I think he implodes less than the alternatives.

Too soon to say who's going to hold out until seniors. But Aliev didn't really have the best track record this season.
Samarin is the least inconsistent of all the russian men, Gumennik may fare well next year. Samsonov is defeinitely to watch out for, he is gritty like Trusova and has all the big jumps.
Kolyada seems out of Worlds too ?
Hard to know at the moment. But Samsonov is talk for three, four years from now (where's Erokhov?). Gumennik still has to prove himself in the junior field. He has one quad and some consistency, but really, we've been debating about what's going to happen when he adds more difficult jumps.
Gumennik has gotten more stable I think the pressure with Mishin to jump his triple axel was even too much, since he switched coach
and trains in a smaller group is working out well for him.
I forgot about Voronov, which placement did he got in nationals ?
if hes below top 5, I don't think they will select him
and the rus fed doesn't favor him much.
Jackie Wong said Kolyada injured his wrist and was in pain but fought thru the LP

Anybody know how bad is the injury?
He wasn't there, he was injured. And maybe the RusFed needs to start favoring some different people instead of the flops they have favored for the last several years.
Thank you for the information, hopefully he will made a speedy and complete recovery
