The Russian pair, who are the reigning World and Olympic Silver medalists, announced their decision today, saying they're focusing on next season's competitions.
Whaaa? Why the heck would they do that?
They are coming off a decent season, and had a great shot at the podium, I thought. They don't have a throw quad and probably no chance of beating their compatriots Yuko Kavaguti and Alexander Smirnov.
Doesn't seem like they're injured. And it's only extra month of training. Will it really make the difference? Maybe...
But it smells like fear to me.
I hope they can rally for next year, they're solid skaters.
