I think she has about the same amount of a chance as Safanova. She will be invited to test skates, but will have to perform really well to get a shot, unlike some of the others, who might be given the benefit of the doubt.

hmmm I doubt they would have one of the 3A go back to juniors after they presumably will have competed on the GP, Russia usually doesn't do that (they probably won't even have free programs that are the right length for juniors, etc although theoretically that could be changed). I do think Kanysheva will be eligible though; If my calculations are right, Polina was 14 turning 15 later that year when she won. So I think a team of Sinitsyna, Kanysheva, Tarakanova might be a possibility (obviously depends on the season but that seems like a dream team) - that would probably lock in gold well enough. Hey if only Kanysheva had stayed with Panova, we could have an all Panova team haha. Can't think of anyone other than Vasilieva who could also contend (other than those who will already be senior) but I'm probably forgetting someone.

I would actually put Safonova above Shabotova in terms of who deserves the JGP spot more. Safonova is more consistent, and has had better results. I personally prefer Shabotova, but the latter half of her 2018-18 season wasn’t very good. I think the chocolate dope scandal really got to her.

Oh, it was nothing. She tried to make a joke on social media, and alluded to doping from chocolate or something. Not anything, really.
I suppose the user refers to the episode where she said on instagram that all team Eteri skaters get doping, and you got to use doping to win.

The High Witch of the Crystal Dome welcomes all her court men/women/dogs and others (except Masaru and Alina Zagitova, who're going to join later) at the first coaching camp this season.

to clarify, she went on to say something like "you just have to find the right dope. And the right dope is........ chocolate." But the articles/sites that reported on it didn't include this part of it, hence the momentary scandal.

Beautiful picture! Everyone is so tanned; they look like they have tried to accumulate all the sun out there before going back to the ice. And they are waiting not only for Alina, but possibly for Shoma as well

There are only 2 spots for the Youth Olympics. I believe the age range for singles is between January 1, 2003 and December 31, 2005.

Why is this creepy and rotten channel re-posting live streams with young (underage!) female skaters acting silly?

And then claiming another of those rotten channels steals his uploads?

So, do we have some creepy pirates drama this off season?

Oh right my bad. Well in a perfect world, all the girls would have an amazing season and they'd give the top three junior worlds and the 4th and 5th girls who are age eligible the youth olys. I think being JWorld champion is still a bit more prestigious than being Youth Olympic champion, maybe? Correct me if I'm wrong.

I don‘t think so, but I don‘t know some of the guys. Why? Is Moris expected to change coach as well?

I believe he is still in Switzerland. He was coaching at training camp there with Sergei Rozanov a couple of weeks ago. I don’t think he would switch coaches if he just helped put on a camp with his current coach.

I feel quite bad for Victoria Shabotova. Is her career ruined because of that? Was the scandal like, front page news in Russia? Will the federation stop her from getting any jgp assignments?

I don't think she will have any problems. She continued to participate in competitions as normal after that incident. If it was happened when she was 20 years old let's say, by being part of the national team then maybe, but she is young and mistakes happen.
