All the ice dance teams are moving to Toronto as it’s the only path to success so no Moscow team is going to do well! Lol!
But why wasn’t bukin invited to the Pyeongchang Olympics? No success at all until that is explained. They almost lost to zahoroski and Guerrero at worlds because of fear over his being a huge doper. Plus they are trained by total no name losers with no success in modern ijs ice dance.
IMO Russia should have been banned from the 2018 Winter Olympics period. For all their cheating at the 2014 Games (doping, riggage, cover ups, etc..in all sports). By letting the country compete, but randomly banning certain athletes without a justifiable individual reason- Klimov/Stolbova, Stepanova/Bukin, it unfairly harms those athletes and their reputation much more than if the country were banned. There was no justification to banning Stepanova & Bukin from the Games if they were going to allow Russia to compete, and this probably did unjustifiably hurt how they got scored at worlds.
