my predictions are the same as yours event though i would put Panfilova/Rylov in 4thThis prediction is not exactly my wish, but as the most probable standings will be:
1. B/K
2. M/G
3. T/M
4. P/K
well since most of them already had covid .. I think maybe is safe doing predictionsThis prediction is not exactly my wish, but as the most probable standings will be:

Sorry, there are so many names with the Cup of Russia...^ Just a little correction, it's not Bal’chnisky, the name is Balchenko.
B/K were not back to training yet as of 8 December. I would imagine it might affect their performance at Nationals. At the moment Mishina is the only one training on the same ice who hasn't been sick, my worry is that she may be unlucky enough to get it before Nationals (lets hope she just had a false negative test and in fact has antibodies). Tarasova had pneumonia after Kazan, which is a very different beast from just a positive coronavirus test or mild symptoms. What's up with P/K's training after missing Rostelecom I am not sure. This season is making it very difficult to predict anything at all.well since most of them already had covid .. I think maybe is safe doing predictions
SPB championships, pairs have currently the SP:
It's not unheard of, but seeing that they were training on the same ice, it's kind of hard to fathom the idea that she was the only one that might not have gotten it already. Good for her if she didn't, but it poses a problem for short-term planning. Long-term, that's a whole other thing, as we don't know yet the full scope of what the virus causes in athletes, although we're getting an inkling with some cases--Shpilevaya, Medvedeva.At the moment Mishina is the only one training on the same ice who hasn't been sick, my worry is that she may be unlucky enough to get it before Nationals (lets hope she just had a false negative test and in fact has antibodies).
