Lena doesn't seem to be in a good shape, but she isn't that bad after all

Of course she is. With such skate she will lose to ABBA girl. 55 TES - only Russian PCS inflation could help her there. Even if she will skate more less clean, her spins still are very bad, you can check the protocol how many GOE she earned on them, except the last one. She is slow. StSq level 2. Clean Kurakova with kind of juniorish skating is able to beat clean Radio. If Kurakova won't be robbed, of course, and Radio won't get too high and undeserved PCS. And that's if Radio will be clean, don't remember the last time when she was.

Why is Lenas 3L< an Invalid Element? (* as written in the protocol)
 
Elena might do better with a program that had more fire? I think. This program is very meh and doesn’t go anywhere. I’m refusing to count her out. Elena can still get on the podium this week. She’s skating on Home ice so her double axel will probably receive +2 and her flip edge may be ignored. Consider that every other competitor may have a splatfest

You overrate Kurakova too much.

Did I say Kurakova is able to defeat Medvedeva or Zagitova? Because only this would be overrate. But defeat an average skater (which Radio is now, sad, but look at her results) it's not overrating, it's reality.

I'm sure Elena will show you that you were wrong. ;)

i don't know, may be thats just music, but she looks EXTREMELY slow to me, especially after watching this season's best juniors at JGP

Yes, her skating and especially step sequence are very slow. She kept this program. So we'll see this again. Maybe she became a bit faster, I'm not sure.
