If Isabeau beats her score at her next event. I don’t think she will, but it’s certainly realistic since Isabeau beat her score by a point comparing their first events.

Adelina made some mistakes on her first event.
Isabeau went clean as a whistle, I don't see space for improvement in her program unless she lands 4T.

Adeliya only made small mistakes and scores will rise regardless... I’m saying it’s a possibility, to those who say it’s impossible, and will look to be outraged later if a completely realistic scenario plays out because they didn’t consider it.

Adelia is probably out of reach by now, but Isabeau only needs to beat her previous score by roughly 3-4 points to outscore Samodelkina. So not unrealistic, certainly very doable, just if she gets 1 point more in the SP and 2 more in the FS, she’ll beat Sofia for JGPF (that’s if the qualification is done via scores).
However, Isabeau got very good scores already, GOEs were quite generous for her quality of jumping + she’ll always be at a risk of being called by tech panel, because her edge problems are too glaring. Other girls have edge problems too of course, but Isabeau’s are just too obvious to ignore because of her very peculiar jumping technique, in my opinion. So the task of beating Samodelkina might actually be harder than it looks. She only got 1 flip called ! across 2 programs, and her flip certainly isn’t her issue. However, if the caller is feeling generous, I can see her go past Sofia.
Also… I really did think Davydov would prioritize a certain path to JGPF over training that SP 3A for Sofia. FS layout also looks like still in the process of being defined, it changed in a week! Why? It could have been an easy gold medal for Sofia and a confident way to gpf. Instead of that, a skater who can do a 3A and 3 freaking quads in a program has to hang by a strand and hope Levito doesn’t score higher than her.

I'm content with less visibility for figure skating vs. visibility through a trashy thing like Maxim.

I'm so happy to see this !
I was really wish to see the final product of this program.
I'm glad that Evgenia have listen to her fans and show us this program maybe for the last time with the final product
I would have wish to see this program in a competition. I continue to hope that she comeback and show this at competition.
It's a masterpiece. I love the costume ! Great job Evgenia

I bet the skaters would disagree. More visibility and eyeballs means more money for them.
And there is no shame in looking good on and off the ice. It is nice to have a few adults in a teen sport.

You didn't bring the best performances from that event, didn't you?
Vazhnova SP
Krasnozhenova SP
Btw, I watched all three competitions (women discipline) in one day.. what a feat it was! )) And, unexpectedly, the less fan to watch among them was JGP event (watched last two groups only), Nebelhorn was better (watched last two groups only), and CoR junior event was the best (watched all). Idk how it was for others - but it was like that for me.

And what would be so terrible for Adelia "If Isabeau beats her score at her next event"? In this case, the participation of Sofia Samodelkina in the final will be under threat.
At the moment, only these seven girls have a real chance to qualify for the final:
Adelia Petrosyan (411.78 total, 1/3 places)
Sofia Samodelkina (408.06 total, 2/3 places)
Sofia Akatyeva (233.08+... , 1/.. places)
Veronika Zhilina (216.92+... , 1/.. places)
Sofia Muravyeva (208.20+... , 2/.. places)
Nastya Zinina (206.20+... , 2/.. places)
Isabeau Levito (202.35+... , 1/.. places)
Whatever criteria they choose - just total score (as it seemed to be announced), or they also somehow will take into account places too (for example, some bonus points for places) - Petrosyan is ahead of Samodelkina. Thus, Adela will not get into the top six only if two events are realized: 1) Levito will be ahead of her, and 2) also another girl not from this seven will be ahead of her. If the first event is possible (although the chances of this are not so great in my opinion), then the second event is in the "extremely unlikely" category.
Apparently there is only one candidate for such an action - Minchae Kim. If she can get higher than 219.3 points at her second stage (Baltic Cup) then she will be ahead of Adelia.** This is exactly what I consider an "unrealistic scenario".
** This is if we are talking about the total score, if the places are also will taken into account, then this is even worse for Kim, since the best set that she can have is 1/4, which is worse than Adelya's 1/3

It's a very powerful music and great program, I would love to see her perform it when she was at her best...I'm so happy to see this !

Zhilina seems to have WD from the JGP Baltic cup she will be replaced by Liza K
Oh no, she just be injured then? Otherwise why would they replace a JGPF candidate?

I know. That's what makes me wonder what was really going on with this gossip earlier on and the news now .... still, one way or another, Nika and Sofia A. will not face each other in Gdansk ....
I hope it is not any serious injury though and that we will see NIka at some later JGP stage if that turns out possible
