I wouldn't discount her completely. Liza in her first season managed to beat at her GP events everyone who placed that year at worlds 1-6, so I wouldn't say that Radionova can't beat Kostner. Or at least end up on the podium at senior GP event. Liza managed to be on the podium during both years of her GP, why should Radionova do any worse?

I too If I was the fed I too would not want Radionova to do senior GP,
she will just take a spot or podium potential away from Liza, Julia and Adelina who are eligible for the Olympics
I dont see any advantage of Radionova going seniors next season aside from her getting senior experience but useless since she is not eligible for Sochi
they might give Anna P. a try next season as she is eligible for Sochi.
The fact Julia is being so thoughtful about her skating is a really good sign.![]()
From protocols of Junior Nalionals 2011, 2012, 2013.
Junior Ladies
Combos in SP (included only non-URed, non-falled 3+3 Combos).
2011
3Lz+3T 1
3T+3T 3
2012 (3Lz+3T must not be at this season, Lutz is the solo jump)
3F+3T 1
3Lo+3T 1
3S+3T 2
3T+3T 6
2013
3Lz+3T 8
3S+3T 1
3T+3T 2
So we see that numbers of skaters with 3+3 Combos were 4, 10, 11.
With complicated first jump (i.e. 3Lz, 3F, 3Lo) - 1, 2, 8.
That's great that Yu-Na will be next season at GP (maybe), but that still doesn't limit Radionova's chance to medal. Yu-Na can't compete on all six events and Yu-Na can't get gold, silver and bronze medal at the event. Therefore Yu-Na competing does not mean that Radionova is unable to get medals at GP and qualify at GPF. The question is whether Russian Federation will want her there, but that's a different argument.
