sad for Polina K. we may not see her competing in Worlds for a while again
Tukt, Adelina and Alena for 2013 , but what about Julia ? she will be eligible by 2014
Alena depending on the wunderbabies progress maybe phased out but it will be a tough battle
That's for sure..But having such a deep field right now has it's perks - the stronger the competition within the country, the better for the international skating. The skaters push each other and improve fs, increase difficulty in the competitions.It's good for sport. The best will win)
Goodness me - when I was watching Ksenia Makarova this evening, I was getting really worried! I thought that 3rd spot was slipping away. Now that Russia has secured the 3rd spot, that means that Alena, Adelina, and Tuk can all go to next years Worlds, and that one of them won't miss out. I think that Ksenia will find it next to impossible to qualify for Worlds again (or the Olympics) as in the 2013/14 season, Julia L will be eligible to compete as a full time senior.
Julia is eligible for 2014 Olympics but not for 2013 senior world championships
I doubt they will use Makarova again, they have Shelepen as 2nd tier back up, lol
but I fear they will never trust Polina K. again in big competitions

Next year I look forward to seeing Gracie and Russian girls' debut. Gracie vs Tukt = very intriguing haha))
