Im suspicious of Konstantinova and Fedichkina getting a medal here. They won't repeat the same consistency and get a medal in Junior Worlds.
First two places are normally guaranteed, the third isn't. And who would you choose? Voronov had been consistent all the way up to Nationals but somehow he didn't get sent to Euros. You have to perform on the day.I mean the Federation should put on hold if Kosntantinova or Fedichkina gets a medal, they should consider a skaters whole season only the gold medalist must be guaranteed to go to Junior Worlds.
Fedichkina and Konstantinova are known to be inconsistent skaters.

But it's true. KonsTantinova and Fed aren't consistent. And Dima won but he had mistakes they are consistent in inconsistency )
I would rather send Polina to JW than Stasya but she still has to deliver here. I don't think Gubanova deserves to go when she didn't even crack the top 10 yesterday. She's not consistent either.
This will be a hard scenario if:
will they send skaters base on merits ?
Gubanova or Tsurskaya
or will they give notorious inconsistent skaters
like Konstatinova or Fedichkina a chance if they medal ?
I would take the first choice
Gubanova just fell on 3Lz during warm-up.
+1It's difficult when one can't watch, but Polina hasn't skated yet, or did I get that wrong? And if she hasn't, can we sort of see how she goes before anything else?
Konstantinova is, Fedichkina's problem is not consistency: she never makes more than one or two mistakes, her low scores are due to a low overall quality of the other elements, while for example skaters like Gubanova and Konstantinova can make up for falls/step-outs with huge GOEs/PCSI mean the Federation should put on hold if Kosntantinova or Fedichkina gets a medal, they should consider a skaters whole season only the gold medalist must be guaranteed to go to Junior Worlds.

Gubanova just fell on 3Lz during warm-up. Anna Tarusina looks tense. It's her time now.

Im still hoping for a miracle.
the thought of Konstantinova or Fedichkina going to Junior Worlds is just shocking, imo
