I hope Alina feels as you do about it if she does then she will do it if she doesn't she will not.

she should do it only if she can do it without injuries. She spent this season all taped up and has that chronic condition (I don't recall the name). So I hope she does not go training the more risky elements if it should cause her pain and problems. No medals are worth it. She is at place where she could more on from competitive skating to doing shows and getting big buck for it.
I think my winning the worlds Alina secured her Olympic champion PCS and so she may be able to medal if she skates clean without quads.
I feel with this "quad" revolutions that we may see a rule change, it ladies event turn into one big splat fest of girls trying quads and landing like 25% of them (I am not talking just about the Russians here... others may try as well and I am kinda not exited about ten underrotated splatquads at every event).
Also... I feel bit irritated about Alëna jumping despite being advised not to. I want to see her develop and grow, not get reinjured pointless for nothing.
Alena is so good I only want her to skate if she's feeling good. skating in a major championship like the Olympics or World championship or european championship or Russian Nationals with a minor injury is one thing but certainly not in the off-season.

I watched this over and over and over again. It's so beautiful I can't stop.
She had more time to train and she is in great shape now. If she beat zhenia maybe she would medal at worlds.

Wow and she's so young !
It seems that she is the first to be able to jump a 3A and a quad right ? (of which we have the videos at least)

She would have scored much lower at Worlds. I mean WTT is where Zhenya miraculously scored a 160

Seems like Eteri has found out the advantages of Instagram. Well, good for her and good for us, it means we‘ll find out directly when one of the 3A first lands a 3A.
Technically Kostornaia already did.
We just haven't seen it in a while (or ever in competition).https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ot1rtjvAGo0

Right, how could I forget Alena‘s famous 3A?
But we‘ll see which of them will be the first to land it this off-season... I would have said Alena if it wasn‘t for the injury. Now I‘m betting on Sasha.

Ngl, Alena Kostornaia has the best axel technique in the Eteri group.

Then she should be able to master a triple axel in a year or two when she's done with puberty when she's 16 or 17.

This does not sound good for Evgenia, not just the fact she is not able to train, but the fact she is injured again in such a short time.

We knew she was injured already - it's the hip/thigh injury that she was dealing with at Worlds.

What exactly is her injury and what do you mean by injured again in such a short time? Did she get injured after worlds too?

That‘s the same injury from Worlds. She skated her FS on painkillers. There is no new injury, but this one turned out to be more serious.
