Hm, I'm a little bit confused. Did Vartmann split with her former partner then? It sounds like she has (obviously), but the article didn't say. Did I miss something? Did he retire?
Two German pairs split last year. Proessl/Blommaert und Vartman/Van-clever....
P/B ended their partnership because of personal differences and V/VC split because Vartman wanted to skate with Blommaert.
Nevertheless vartman/Blommaert is a nice pair,i can not imagine that they are really successful. Vartman has got nice skating skills but has been very inconsistent through the years.

I saw a youtube video of them skating, but I don't have the link at the moment. They looked good, but I'm not sure about top 5 at Euros this season.

Even though top 5 at Euros seems impossible, I still wish them the best of luck!!

And they will be competing at Cup of Nice. The field there is quite weak, and they might even win it.

Winning in Nice would be a great start indeed. They can quite easily given the SP they did in Obersdorf.
As for top five at Euros, with clean SP and a strong LP, it isn't impossible at all. Who's there ? 1,2,3 are Russia's, then, the Italians who are still quite impredictible : they can keep their position also easily but they are still a young team and sometimes, ice is slipery. Then, the french. Since last year, they aren't consistent at all and are still recycling the same LP. Depending on the performances that day, I can see the germans beatting them.

Yes their only real potential competition at Nice are Zieglet/Kiefer so I'd say they have at least a 50% chance of winning if not better... barring massive mistakes they should be able to beat the rest of the field pretty easily.
I don't know about top 5 at Euros, I think it depends how it goes. I do think top 7 at Euros is DEFINITELY obtainable though and would be a great premier. Either way I am excited for this team

that s true!!! it is possible that they can win @ Coup of Nice ...Z/K were much worser @Nebelhorn than V/B
but@ EUROS... maybe 6th oder 7th... 3russians, M/H for italy and J/C for France in front of V/B
