what do you mean?
After today's test of FFSG, Vanessa James and Yannick Bonheur are selected to french team. Mélodie Chataignier and Medhi Bouzzine are only substitute.
In Ice dancing, Terra Findlay and Benoît Richaud replace Delobel/Schoenfelder. Zoé Blanc and Pierre-Loup Bouquet are the substitute.

I read over at FSU that DomShabs were out of Euros and I posted that here, but then the person who posted that realized that was wrong information. DomShabs are still in!

I agree with the FFSG for sending James and Bonheur to the Euros but Findlay & Richaud? Please! Blanc & Bouquet are far mora mature in their style, whereas Findlay and Richaud's FD is just another average FD.
Maybe the FFSG are worried the foreign judges won't understand Blanc & Bouquet's FD, or that the judges won't appreciate their originality.
Yes, it's a strange decision, but FFSG estimates that Findlay/Richaud have more potential as Blanc/Bouquet...
They are technically better, but artistically, they are a junior pair like the other junior pairs...
Every year FFSG make controversial selections, one time they look at the results, on time at the potential, one time at a questionable test... no transparency at all.
Findlay and Richaud have only been skating a little over a year together. They have nice lines and look nice together. They came 3rd at Nationals and outskated Zoe and Pierre at the selections. They earned their spot fair and square. Zoe and Pierre's Sr. Grand Prix results were not strong this year as well and the team that earned the spot should go. I think it is a great opportunity for Findlay and Richaud to be seen in the Senior curcuit and they are young.
2 changes :
Katherine Hadford replace Bianka Padar for Hungary. I've heard that a selection test was planned, so maybe Hadford have win this test.
And for UK, Karly Robertson is the 2nd lady. She's provisionally 2nd at the national championship, after the short program.
I'm surprised that the british team don't have change in men and ice dancing. Towler-Green/Poole are 2nd, but there are Chitwood/Hanretty (4th) who are going to Helsinki. And Elliot Hilton, 5th is selected for men competition, his only substitute is Thomas Paulson, only 4th... No Matthew Parr, the UK champion... It's a stupidity to announce selection before the national championship when the level between skaters is too similar.

)I'm so sorry. I loved Uçar's SP to Louis Armstrong's "La Vie en Rose" ('06?) and ever since I've been hoping he'd make it to the Free Skate.
But tebrikler to Eryoldas on his win.
