Can't believe Europeans is soon coming. I hope Slutskaya wins her 5th

I hope she finds some spark and motivation and does well. :)

Lot of luck to Irina. Will Victoria Volchkova be there? I've heard conflicting reports.

I hear Vika pulled out, i'll treat that as a rumor for now. I hope she is competing, I would be really happy for her if she won her first European title.
