Valieva will get 2 spots, GP events want crowd-drawing/premiere talent - look at it this way going into her first international senior season, Shcherbakova was ranked #74 because the only season she competed was the 2018-2019 junior season (she was too young in 16/17 season, and injured for the 17/18 season).
I reacted the same as you. Eteri was scary there for a bit. Someone has to correct me here, but as I understand it, Eteri said something like Adelia was focusing too much on the technical and that she was losing the program overall.

Yeah, it's the same scenario. Daria will also get two spots. (Maiia will get at least one and potentially the host spot depending on how she does.)

Technically, any skater in top 24 world standings and seasons best is "guaranteed" a GP - however, with the depth in Russian ladies, often some of the ladies further down the seasons best list don't get to go. For example, Sima Sakhanovich and Anastasia Gubanova were all in the top 24 for seasons best in the 18/19 season but none of them got GPs. From the limited knowledge I know of FS, I think world standings skaters who are "guaranteed" a spot are more likely to get a GP than seasons best skaters who are "guaranteed" a spot. For example, Sotskova in the 19/20 season got a GP even though she was rather far off the SB list and it probably would have made more sense to give the spot to someone like Gubanova or Sakhanovich.

Liza Beretovskaya has left Davydov's camp for Eteri.
@nussnacker had only just expressed concern for her jumps in the RCF thread. Let's see where Sofia Samodelkina moves next. And hope it opens up spots for someone like Agneta Latushkina.

I'm actually kind of surprised! Well, anyways it was a very kind and sweet message! I hope that Eteri camp can help Liza get bigger and more consistent jumps and hopefully some better skating skills as well.

I honestly don't see Samodelkina moving from Davydov soon. It seems like she's doing great there, all she really needs is to continuing building consistency and hopefully working in another 3A into her free skate. And I also don't really see any other big name coach that really suits her? Perhaps Mishin?
But then again I wouldn't have guessed Liza B would go to Eteri either (I also would've guessed Mishin probably).

Perfectly on schedule to make sure Sofia A and Adeliya don't get complacent and continue facing competition in their own rink lol.
I think it's a good move (potentially) for her jumps though.

Hasn't she been injured already? They will push her too quickly and she will be the next Kaynesheva. Eteri doesn't even need her if/when it doesn't work out. Shes got plenty of juniors. I wonder if Eteri is doubting Petrosian.
Great artistic potential to develop, but can Dudakov raise the height of her jumps?

That's my main issue too. I mean they haven't been able to really fix the height on Adeliya's jumps yet either.Great artistic potential to develop, but can Dudakov raise the height of her jumps?
I also do hope they let Liza recover from her injury first before pushing her to do any quads.

Is Eteri really the place we see artistry being nutured and developed? They focus on cranking out formulaic programs that get lots of points.

I don't think anyone will give up their worlds spot, even if one wins the Olympics and/or they all podium. If the team is Anna/Sasha/Kamila, at least one of Anna and Sasha would not have a world title. And Kamila definitely wouldn't. If Alena is on the team, she wouldn't have a world title either.
Assuming that whoever makes the Olympic team is also guaranteed worlds spots, I don't see any of them giving up their chance considering the year after will be a bloodbath. 1 mistake at nationals could cost them the world team in any year, who would give up a guaranteed spot?
Maria's coach is her mother Anna Tsareva, she also coached Anna Pogorilaya.Is she the girl that finished 4th? Her personality in the kiss and cry was joyful.
Who are her coaches? They look like models.

Probably the best, yes. Can't think of any other place that does it better.

Oh wow, not sure about this move. Not sure Dudakov can even help that situation, those jumps and SS need a TON of work.
Plus Davydov already helped to improve Frolova’s jumps, with Panova they were so tiny and Davydov really did help to increase the height and consistency.
I thought he can rework Liza’s jumps too.
Well, let’s see what happens, but I’m not convinced this move will necessarily solve all her problems.

Well, her primary motivation for going there is probably to get lots of points... Davydov, Tutberidze, Buianova etc. could all be said to produce formulaic programmes, TBH. And from their POV, why not, since they (well, Tutberidze mainly) dominate Junior girls.
On that note it's interesting how boys' coaches are such a mixed bag compared to girls (Junior/senior national team hail from Teams Rukavitsyn, Mishin, Davydenko, Daineko, Sokolovskaya, Butsaeva... Tutberidze/Davydov/Buianova contribute just one or two guys each). Boys' programmes seem fairly stylistically diverse (Queen plethora aside), although the level of artistry (and consistency) varies wildly across the board.

I think they might - that is the World's after the Olympics. Most do actually. (The olympics are A LOT.) (Kamila might not because it would be her first worlds but she also might if she wins an OGM - because what is World's when you have an OGM.) But Anna or Sasha might if they win here (and make it to the Olympics but that decreases exponentially if they win OGM.) And a lot will depend on injuries anyway. And regardless the year after will be a similar team anyway - assuming no injuries and no one retires which is unlikely. (Sofia A doesn't turn senior until 2023-2024 so she would still be a year away.)
