Alexandr Zhulin: This is a surprise for me. I feel sorry for Mikhail. I hope everything will be fine by the Olympics. As for Mozalev, we have a good and strong team for the European Championships.

Ilia Averbukh: This is a loss. First of all for Mikhail himself. Last season he was very well prepared, obviously he would have taken the first place, but the championship was canceled.

This year, it was also one of the most likely chances. It is a pity that Kolyada will not be able to win the title.

Once again, I would like to support Misha. We wish him to prepare as well as possible for the main competitions of his life, the Olympic Games.

The main thing is that the injury doesn’t turn out to be very serious.
