Russia Names (Potential) Teams for Euros

Earlier this week, Russian head coach Valentina Rodionenko announced the teams going to the European Championships in April.


In true Valentina fashion, she was playing Russian roulette with the teams again. The announcement turned out not to be correct surprise surprise.  According to women's coach Evgeny Grebyonkin three girls have been named to the team for sure and the others in consideration will have to duke it out later for a spot:

The three locks are:

Daria Spiridonova
Maria Kharenkova
Ksenia Afanasyeva

In contention for the fourth spot are: Seda Tutkhalyan, Maria Paseka, Viktoria Komova and Alla Sosnitskaya.

(Editors note - at this point, the girls are best deciding their spot by Rock, paper scissors at this point)

The European Championships will be held in Montpellier, France April 13-19. This will be a qualifier to the European Games that will be held in Baku, Azerbaijan June 15-20.
