2013 Russian Nationals Ladies

Then why send Gosviani to Poland if it won't make her eligible for Euros? That's even MORE short-sighted!

[let`s talk]

You can't get a Senior minimum score at a Junior competition.

Then Kovtun would be not eligible either.

The Senior competition at the Mentor Nestle Cup is Pairs and Dance only. The ladies competition is at the Junior and Novice levels. That doesn't show much confidence in Gosviani's ability to compete at the Senior level. And it won't give her any ISU Ranking points. So if she does get the minimum score (harder at the Junior level with fewer elements in the FS), she will be in the early group to skate at Euros which won't help her SP score.

Junior Ladies
29 RUS Gosviiani Nikol

but ure totally right with make a junior competition in place of senior is not a good thing for her ..........

Kovtun is eligible because he skated at the WTT last April and achieved the minimum scores there.

Just watched the videos. Big congrats to Liza. Happy for Nikol, her jump technique isn't the best but she's very pretty and so is her skating, I'm glad she's getting the chance to go to Euros. My favorites were Radinova and Pogorilaya though, they are both so expressive with the arms. Elena is such a little ham and Anna is very fierce and continues to prove herself, considering how she's skyrocketing this season and how poorly most of the other girls are skating, she might even have an outside shot to make the Sochi team next year. In any event I hope they both go to JW and kick butt.

If TES scores from junior competitions did not count, sending Nikol Gosviani to that competition would not be shortsighted - it would be utterly pointless. (no pun intended) One would think that the Rus fed would know better than that.

Also, TES scores from junior's are certainly listed here:

According to ISU Communications 1742 and 1751, for Senior ISU Championships TES scores may be obtained both at Senor and Junior (but not Novice) competitions.
For Junior Worlds - only in Junior competitions.

So I see no problem for Nilol to obtain TES.
Senior B Event would be better only because it also gives rating. But lack of time does not give a choice.
