As for who we may see in 2026 hopefully Alina and 3a!
I'm fine with only Kamila surviving
I think anything else will be hard just like it'll be hard for 2020 for Zhenya and Alina

Come on. Sochi, PC Beijing and Italy? Next Summer games in Japan. The ioc has forgotten all about us in the good ole USA.
I think the summer olymics 2028 are in LA!

The good ole US of A has to put up the money and make a bid.
About GPF, I don’t know why they can’t just run it as a normal Grand Prix with the 12 best women skating it out. That way if someone bombs a GP but gets 1st at another one, it isn’t the end of the GP series for them...I know that the GP used to not be that prestigious, but nowadays it’s one of the most exciting parts of the figure skating season...

Yeah they decided 2028 in 2017. Basically there wnere two bidders and rather than pick one they just gave 2024 to Paris and 2028 to La

That is an interesting proposal. Money may play a part. There is also the consideration that being selected for the GP Final is more prestigious if 6 are chosen than if there are 12.
I think in the beginning the idea was that they did not want to detract from the prestige of the individual events, which were (back then) the bread and butter if the skating season. Back in the day, just being the Skate America champion was a big deal all by itself, never mind adding a cherry on top at the end of the season.
Maybe the ISU doesn't want the Grand Prix season to go the way of professional team sports, like baseball or basketball or hockey. Nobody cares about the regular season games, except for considerations of who makes the playoffs.
Apparently the 2026 Winter Olympics will be in Italy. Maybe us Europeans will get rich enough to go by then
Wanna make predictions on who are we gonna see?
Ruga is saying 2026 no 2022!!

My guess is: Trusova, Valieva and some 'dark horse' who hasn't caught our attention yet.
Trust me no one forgets the USA. With Donald Trump and for skating who could forget SLC in 2002.
I am not sure Trusova will make 2022 - she may not survive puberty along with the other 3A ladies. I am hoping I am wrong but these ladies are not built like Liza T - they are sticks and I fear their jumps are based upon throwing themselves in the air and counting on their slight builds to do these jumps. IF that is the case puberty will probably crush them. Look at the hope many people are saying or lack of for Alina and Evgenia in seeing them at the next olympics.
I disagree - Sasha and Alena are both pretty tiny for their ages. A lot of that is genetic, but we also know how fixated Eteri's training methods are on low weight = quick rotation speed.Sasha and Alena are like the opposite of sticks.
Can you imagine how crazy it will be it the 3 russians are all juniors turn seniors that year...
