not consistent at all...
how dare they let someone else win!some of them just need to get used to international competitions, it's a big pressure when everyone expects you to win, so they are always at the bigger pressure than anyone else

It was before free program. Same with Sasha.
Calm down ) Of course we are all afraid about our favorite skaters. Sometimes they fall, but most often they don't

Alena needs scored 182+ and got gold to have that 2nd assignment (if she still have that 1st assignment). but Guliakova looked strong and ready, she recently win Russian cup(?) with over 200 points... all pressure is on Panekova though, i wonder how she'll do in Poland
JGP Poland
Alena Kostornaya
Daria Panenkova

What are Nastya's T chances to get to JGPF?
Not bad chances. If other Russian girls will win their events - Nastya's in the final. Because her 1st place at previous JGP is a trump. 1+3 (26 points) is better than 2+2 (26 points).

Thanks, i'll keep my fingers crossed for Dasha and Alena.
To be able to get to JGPF, she needs two spots. Samodurova winning this event decreased Guliakova’s chances (there were three skaters fighting for two spots at the last JGP event, now Samodurova very likely secured one of those spots for herself, so there are two skaters - Guliakova and Kostornay- fighting for one remaining spot).
Now Guliakova’s chances depends on Kostornaya’s skating at this coming event. If Kostornaya wins or places second but with higher score than Guliakova, it is likely that Kostornaya will get the second spot and Guliakova’s chances to get to JGPF are zero (she can’t get there with only one spot).
If Kostornaya skates badly (second with lower score than Guliakova or worse placement), Guliakova’s chances of getting second spot are high but her chances to get to JGPF are not particularly great. She will be fighting against Japanese ladies and against Samodurova who is capable scoring more or less same as Guliakova, so it will be about who is skating better on the day. To be guaranteed to get to JGPF Guliakova needs to get at least second place. With third place she may or may not get in, and with fourth place or worse she definitely won’t get in.
ETA: sorry, I didn’t notice T. I was talking about Nastia Guliakova and not Nastia Tarakanova.
Tarakanova’s chances - she is definitely in. No doubt about it. With first and third place there is no way she wouldn’t get in, no matter how others skate now.
We all know this, dear hanca. Now we're afraid that RusFed could go mad and will replace Alena to Stanislava at JGP Gdansk. That's why we are so nervous.

most likely gulyakova will take kostornaya's place at gdansk. and probably they will send konstantinova and samodurova to italy.
poor alena, that's what i feared of
Why would they replace Alena with Stanislava?:disapp: She was third in Belarus and has slim, very, chances to be first in Poland.

anyway, thx to Sonya's nerves of steel, Russian golden fest continues! :agree:
Dear Puremagic, you could also be worried about Russian federation wanting to keep Vasilieva in... that would further reduce the number of spots!
Or you may decide not to be worried, because worrying about things you can’t change is not very productive - it doesn’t have any impact on the outcome anyway and it just gives you wrinkles and makes you look old! Just suggestion... :whack:After giving a spot to ABBA girl instead of Kurakova at Rostelecom cup, I won't be surprised at anything.

Yeah, that wouldn't be smart. I would say Stasya has chances close to zero to get into JGPF

Who is Kostornaya? And I understand that Stasya is a nickname, so which girl is she?
Alena Kostornaya is one of the three secret weapons of Eteri. Stasya - Stanislava Konstantinova.
