What jump layout will she have? She will have to do a triple loop in the short, so she either has to scratch her triple lutz or do it in combination. Is Agnes consistent with her triple loop? I know she fell on it in the long at Nationals.
And she'll have to be clean or close to clean in the long. But yes, I do think she has a chance for gold if she's clean and Sotnikova or Tuktamysheva perhaps makes a few mistakes (they will be favorites, right?), assuming they'll be there. Russian Junior Nationals is this week.
Clean Agnes. So yes, she will have a loop in the SP.
Assuming Sotnikova and Tuktamysheva will both be clean, can Agnes beat them?
Assuming Sotnikova, Tuktamysheva, Agnes, Christina, Hicks, Shoji, Li all deliver 7 triples LP. who will win?
I'd have to go with Sotnikova. But if Tuktamysheva does a triple axel then her.
Clean Agnes. So yes, she will have a loop in the SP.

Both girls are planning 7 triples LP. Adelina flutzes. Agnes' jumps look much better. I think Agnes can win on TES. The question is, can she win on PCS as well.
Agnes has a good shot at it. Why not? Her faltering days are now in the past.
Have Adelina, Christina or Agnes done a clean FS yet this year? It'd be great if one of them managed it at junior worlds.

Yes, Adelina was clean at the JGP Austria and at Russian Nationals. Christina was clean at the JGP Austria, too, but didn't do a 3+3 in the LP. Agnes hasn't in major competitions, but she was clean at the Broadmoor Open early in the season.
