This seems about right if they're going to be undecided. I assumed the 6th would be Gubanova. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, see, 3+3 for men: Quote Men: Kovtun, Kolyada, Samarin + Lazukin, Aliev, Voronov I assumed they'd let Gubanova be 3rd alternate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They probably made a mistake there. They only have two spots in ice dance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

liv Posted February 25, 2019 Share Posted February 25, 2019 Very interesting. Feel a bit sorry for the skaters. You could go ahead and say, well, they are athletes and know to keep training just in case, but they are human and this has to play on their emotions too. it cant be easy.

So I guess one of the reps will have to WD "voluntarily". What a mess. Did they forget today was the deadline? Lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
airi Posted February 25, 2019 Share Posted February 25, 2019 That's weird, I mean if they really think the team from Euros is most likely then ok, but otherwise, uhhhh... they can change to sibstitutes and it's not decision of skaters submitted initially as competitors, but all that seems not really ok to the skaters...

I suppose so. Carmen seemed like a really good choice for him, especially after Elvis (which to me was a bit like T&M doing Candyman- just a terrible fit) but he just can’t seem to hold it together. Read comments elsewhere about his age - such a pity the Russian skaters can’t just up and change coaches - he’s about the same age as Jason Brown and might benefit from a change of approach. Those SPs show how fluid and sharp he can be. Having said that Carmen doesn’t seem to be helping anyone this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The rumour is that he wanted to change to Lambiel and even had the funds for it, but the Federation objected to it, because Lambiel wouldn’t have been the one to solve his jump problems...
