Euros - 3, Olympics - 2.Does russia have 2 spot in Olys and Euro? If yes then Kolyada and Samarin will go, unless Samarin is out from podium and Dima/Sergei is in podium

Mishin was telling him in the K&C: "If you feel ready, skate, if you don't, don't." He obviously went with the latter.Tajana Flade says Alex Petrov has WD :C

Totally missed this competition! Surprising results. Samarin, a new dark horse for OGM? Poor Kovtun, 16th? And Voronov only 4th but a 90's score? Seems like I missed something really special.
Yes, the Fed normally waits till after Euros.Wow! I think Kolyada will power through to first but Voronov has alot to make up to grab second. Am I correct that the Russian federation waits until the European championship to name the team? Of course, this is all skewed by the IOC's ruling to ban Russia. Still, I think 2 men will represent the country in whatever capacity they are allowed. Despite his GP wins, I think Voronov will have to position himself well at Nationals and Europeans to get that designation.
An Olympic podium threat with a PB of 253.13?Samarin looks to win Rus Championship. He has more consistent 4Lz and stronger mindset over Kolyada. Better SS than Boyang. Maybe an Olympic podium threat at Pyeongchang.

Given it's his senior debut that score is not unexpected. But his will to land jumps at competitions and improved presentation. It would not be a surprise he goes over 270 at the European and over 280 at the Olympics, especially as Russia #1.
