True, dynasties surely do not last forever. Whether such change started or not can be judged only after some time. As was said before, Kamila and Sofia land quads/3A in training, the highest total score for both segments belongs to Kami, the highest score for a free program belongs to Sofia from the stage 1 and then there is Adelia Petrosian landing 3A and quads, who would probably have won this stage too with her performance from Sochi.
If we look into the past, there were moments when skaters from the team of Eteri Tutberidze did not win. For instance Daria Usacheva did not win her JGP stages during the 2019/20 season, during the 2020/21 season at the Russian cup stages it was also for Plushenko. But then always the most important events came. One cannot expect the winner can be all the same in such environment amnd this kind os sport where even the tiniest thing can significantly affect the rest.
When I look at the current skaters of AoP,. they certainly are not in the position the skaters from Khrustalny were or are in the previous season or now. Titova, Zhilina or Muravieva are not consistent so far and do not deliver results that are not beatable by their competitors. Than the final result depneds on momental form and of course luck a little too.
I would just describe the situation as the more balanced and less predictable, or as you say, the more wide open. Russian nationals will be exciting, I'm sure about it.
