Anna will probably go as long as she's on the podium and I can't see her losing to Loena even without a quad.

In fact, I would have Anna's do the SP in the team event and Kamila do the FP. Anna might not have a 3A but she scores 80+ when she's clean. I'd worry about burning her out if she has to do the FP then the individual competition, particularly if she's injured. She's reliable but not indestructible.
I like it Anna doing the shorty in the team event and KV the free. There is a good chance for that to happen we have to see how Anna does at Europeans.

I would also like to see KV do the free in the men's competition in the team event only. :)
Why not whoever Russia chooses of the men is only going to-bomb that skate. ;)

Anna will mostly be competing against herself at Euros.
Liza has proven herself to be reliable over and over again.
If Anna has another poor skate at Euros, are we really sure they will send her to Beijing?...

I'm wondering if that's the reason Anna's on the Euros team and Liza isn't. They know where Liza stands. Anna, on the other hand...
That's what I'm wondering too. Is Anna's spot on the olympic team a sure thing? Of course they chose the podium girls to go to the Europeans because they earned it (at least officially) and because they want to go, but as I understood, only Kamila and Sasha are a lock for now.
Of course, if Anna manages decent scores, she'll go.
The desperation is palpable from her haters. She was literally prop up in LP just so she won't finish behind Petrosyan and Samoldekina. Even if she did not get the generous scoring she would have still been safe from Tuktamysheva anyway. I know people with agenda are just seething seeing 3 Eteri's charges go but these clamor for Tuktamysheva already failed the BS test as soon as she finish her LP. She failed both of her programs in Nationals just so you know or were you watching the competition in some alternate universe? Yeah I'm pretty sure the Russians are having second thoughts on sending the current World Champion, a PCS Queen and someone whose performance quality and skating talent is some hundred floors above Tuktamysheva to the Olympics.
 
So I guess just congratulating the winners and not trying to find conspiracies won’t happen after this event either. Wonder if that streak will ever be broken. Haha
I'm sorry to say it, but I find really difficult to congratulate Anna for her 3rd spot.
Reputational work for the Olympics denied Petrosian a well earned medal in my opinion.
Not that Anna has any responsibilities in it, but she definitely skated both days well belove her potential and the safety net they trown at her was a bit too much and not necessary at all.
She, me, any judge in the world and any skating fan know her big value and that she's an absolute top skater.
She does not need to be pushed like that: it's almost offensive to her.

The team spot in well deserved anyway, and not only because I would have placed her clearly above Liza, but because It would be crazy to leave Anya out,
She proved she deserves to be trusted in dealing with whatever was the reason behind her bad week end and get back to her skating in due time.

I want to add a personal congratulation to Samodelkina.
I found her to be extremely beautiful on the ice both in SP and FS.
By beautiful I mean that I really like her skating even when she's not doing any element and her skating engages me

And what does this opinion of yours has to do with my post exactly??
'Cause you're the one coming off as stressed.
I think it's more like irritated after reading such a ridiculous suggestion. If it had been Kostornaya or the next 3 skaters she finished above in the competition were healthy or eligible then Shcherbakova might have a cause of concern. But recommending Tuktamsyheva, a skater she deservedly finished above these Nationals and who has never been her level and you think people should consider your opinion as legitimate and well thought off.

You're free to disagree, but maybe take it down a notch when it comes to your urge to call people haters and desperate for a simple speculation or opinion you disagree with.

No problem.

I’ll just have to congratulate Anna twice then, to make up for it. Haha

The juniors will have time to show what they can do. Their careers, if effect, haven’t even started. Petrosian will have plenty of opportunities to medal at this event, so it’s not a huge catastrophe.
 

Petition get Liza to the Olympics.

The translated description alone is a reason to sign it. Haha

”The last Russian Figure Skating Championships showed all the "biasedness" of referee ratings. The right people are pulled out with points to go to Olympic Beijing. Well, how can an athlete with two falls bypass a person who has performed 2 elements of ultra-si in the program?

Let's end this lawlessness! Or at least we'll try! I'm sick of this injustice, blas and nepotism!

Support us!”

So if you don’t sign it, you support lawlessness. Hope your conscience can handle that. haha

This is absurd! If they say it for Sasha with the fall in the 3A in the short program and the 4T in the free program, they forget that Liza also fell in the 3A and did not have any combination 3-3. When Liza lands 2 4Lz and a 4F, I sign that petition. If they say it for Anna, they forget that her BV even with the fall in 4F is greater than Liza. Sasha and Anna absolutely deserve their place on the Olympic team and sadly Liza failed when it mattered most.

Sasha is a scapegoat of the FFKKR. To be "spent" for the Teams Event FP and discarded the very next second.

Liza cannot ensure a good place after the FP. Anna too, problematic.
Kamilla is the Chosen One (skating the Teams SP only to ensure a medal and be the Ladies' tournament pretender). She cannot skate Teams FP as it may interfere with her main tournament.

So, no Liza, sorry.

Didn’t you read the description? It’s either sign the petition or this lawlessness will never stop! Haha

If it wasn‘t obvious, I shared this because it’s so over the top, I couldn’t stop laughing.

And for the record, I’m certainly on Team Empress but I don’t agree with the wording or the point of the petition. Needless to say, I’m not signing it.

I lost count of how many of my posts castigate sore losers or those whining about the scores or placements. When Liza got the better of people, I called out those that tried to minimize that or tried to discredit it.

Now, that I am on the other end of the result, all I can say is congratulations to Trusova, who earned her Olympic spot fair and square, and without any controversy. And Anna earned the third spot by winning bronze.

I don’t believe you should represent your country if you don’t medal in your nations championships that season. Unless the medalists aren‘t age eligible obviously.

Anna ma have been overscored, but Liza undescored herself.
Do they realize that even if Anna would retire from FS she would have made the team anyway?
3rd spot at national has never been stated to be a lockout for the team (unless I did miss some declaration)

Exactly. Liza had it in her owns hands but she blew it. She lost 10 points in short, and no 3+3 with unclean landings in the long prevented her to score higher.
Let's not forget that judges were VERY generous to Liza too. Scoring 71 with a fall and just a 2T was a bit high. And her free skate with jump issues and lesser content was scored her best free skate of the season.

I think there will be a skate off of sorts at Europeans between Anna and Sasha for the number 2 spot behind KV.

Anya is currently number 2 because she's beaten Sasha all the time the last 3 years except at the recent Russian nationals. But it's not a solid number 2 for Anya I will admit that.
 
I am surprised anyone would at this stage doubt Trusova. She demonstrated athletic qualities second to none this season.
Trusova has been demonstrating athletic qualities second to none (until Kamila and Akatieva showed up) during her entire career.
Everyone knows that and credits her for her athleticism.
The problem is that Sasha has also shown an inconsistency and lack of competitive mental strength second to none during her entire senior career. And sadly a great athlete does not equal a champion since for that mind and body need to come together.
Her and Anna are the perfect illustrations of that - athletically Trusova is without question the much more naturally gifted of the two, but Anna is a champion's mind and with that she has clawed her way up again and again, basically winning against her own body.
BUT I agree, this season all of Sasha's showings have been promising! I'm rooting for her.

The petition is embarrassing for Liza.
She still has a chance to be on the Olympic team because of Health issues to the other girls that may arise. But the petition even if Liza has nothing to do with it will not make Anya and sasha happy.

But I'm afraid the girls won't want Liza on the team after this petition nonsense because it's like bleeping on everything they've done. Maya would probably be the alternate if KV or EG gets to make the choice. ;)

How can you not do 3 - 3s and expect to be on the Russian Olympic team?
Is the key word is Russian. ;) That would work in America but not Russia.
