Thanks, Adelina :) . It's never too early to open a thread for Euros ;) . I have looked over my notes, and I think that Khokhlova/Novitski have a good chance at the silver, although probably Delobel/Schoenfelder will get the gold. Their scores were so close at TEB that an upset could happen at Euros. (Delobel/Schoenfelder had 194.14 and Khokhlova/Novitski had 191.01 at TEB). At NHK, they were further apart, though; D/S had 197.54 and K/N had 186.96; so on any given day, it is not predictable for sure. Pechalat and Bourzat should do well; they had 181.84 at Skate America, and 184.38 at Cup of Russia, so I don't expect them to get the gold at Euros, but I do expect them to be on the podium. I am hoping that Maksim Shabalin will have complete recovery from his knee surgery very quickly. I think that he should make sure to get enough rest, and not push the injury, so I would be very content with Domnina/Shabalin skipping Euros, and just thinking ahead and working toward Worlds. I have been ill lately, so I never did try to post the outcome of Russian Nationals; I am sorry about that. I am still not at my best lol, so I hope there are no errors in the figures I just presented. Lina :)
