Trusova explicitly said she won't participate due to her age

It says Evgenia is planning to participate.
Will someone start a predictions game?
Ladies' training groups:
Group 1
Yakovleva
Sotskova
Radionova
Mikhailova
Tarusina
Gulyakova
Group 2
Leonova
Sakhanovich
Fedichkina
Konstantinova
Tuktamysheva
Samodurova
Group 3
Gubanova
Kostornaia
Medvedeva
Panenkova
Zagitova
Tsurskaya
Medvedeva is in. Fedichkina is in instead of Istomina who is ahead of her in the qualifiers. Trusova and Tarakanova are out as expected.
It hasn't been personally confirmed by Evgenia or her coaches, but obviously they haven't withdrawn yet or she wouldn't be on the list.So is Medvedeva officially in? Like, is it confirmed?

These are just training groups. There will be a draw for start numbers.Last group will be a fire! :dev2:

Let's go Eteri's Angels: Zhenya, Alina, Polina.
Would they give Kostornaia high enough PCS/GOE? They don't need her to medal, she's not even senior-eligible next season - a waste of top placement. We'll see, I guess.My prediction of this event just for fun.
1. Medvedeva (might have a fall or a step-out, the judges will try to save her as #1 with PCS and GOEs)
2. Zagitova (minor mistakes in the short that might go unnoticed)
3. Kostornaia (clean)
4. Sotskova (clean)
5. Radionova (clean with some iffy landings, low or negative GOEs on jumps)
6. Konstantinova (a fall in the long, high PCS)
7. Panenkova (clean with low PCS and GOEs)
8. Tsurskaya (might have a fall, URs)
9. Samodurova (clean with low or negative GOEs on jumps)
10. Gubanova (might fall in the long, will get lower PCS then she deserves)
11. Leonova (clean with low PCS)
12. Gulyakova
13. Fedichkina
13. Sakhanovich (a fall, iffy landings)
14. Mikhailova
15. Tuktamysheva (falls, pops, low PCS)
16. Tarusina
17. Yakovleva
