I think Russia should obey their usual selection policies. Use Nationals to choose who to send to Europeans. Use Europeans to choose who to send to Worlds.
It is dangerous to do anything else. Yes, Evgeni is the best skater in the world and he will most likely come out on top every time. But it is dangerous not to back your younger skaters, too. The Federation must support the younger ones else they will be stuck when Evgeni finally cannot compete anymore (although I do not wish to think about such a time!
).
If Artur should recover from this and beat Evgeni at Europeans next year...then Artur earns the spot and the right to fight for redemption. If Evgeni beats Artur Evgeni has earned the spot and the right to fight for the spaces at Worlds.
Of course, many will say, Evgeni is much more consistent than Artur, much more likely to stay strong and win. And I agree normally. But I hope that Artur can build his strength and rule the world after Evgeni.
Anyway, this is next season. Hopefully Artur can have a little holiday now and then they prepare for next season.
And there will be lots of Russian flags everywhere and lots of medals from Mishin's skaters! Liza will be Senior too!
