Trusova her entire career only lost to Russian women with quads or 3A. And when she was losing, it wasn't because of PCS but because of the few points she was losing on jumps. She only needed to be clean. So it isn't like despite doing all of that she was losing to anybody.And even with 8th and 9th in PCSs and jumping ability that far exceeded what the current gen of Russian women can put across two programs Trusova had a hard time winning. Her bronze was a result of Kihira's meltdown skate. Her silver in Olympics was earned by a barrage of jumps that won't be matched again. And that was when Russian officials, judges and techs were sitting in the panels. Qualifying the officials will take time after the ban is removed. Until then, Russian women will likely to see 5s and 6s in their PCS sheets.
That would be political scores.Qualifying the officials will take time after the ban is removed. Until then, Russian women will likely to see 5s and 6s in their PCS sheets.

Valieva didnt "survive" anything yet. She landed zero ultra-C this season. You mentioned she beat muravieva when muravieva had a total meltdown but ignored that valieva herself placed 4th when she took a melt down. She hasnt skated FS clean once and had cardio problems all season. Its not a good season for her at all. Can she come out on the other end? I dont know, maybe, I'm not saying anything against her. But she hasnt proven anything. Meanwhile Akateva visibly hasnt changed at all, and Petrosian's mother and grandmother are both just as small as she is.Valieva has some how survived one of the most abrupt periods of growth 15-17 that any top female skater has dealt with while maintaining many of her jumps. It's unheard of. I mean this in the best way, but she probably has the most suboptimal physique for figure skating now let alone jumping quads. She's in great shape and a great athlete, but it's a sport made for females like Petrosian, Muraviova, Bazyluk. The physics of rotating multiple times in the air favour this body shape. Even the top skaters well into their 20's or even their 30's are almost devoid of any secondary characteristics, of course there are exceptions but this is the general rule. Again, this is just an observation and is not a criticism of anyone in anyway.
Akatieva by the time she is competing again will have been out of competition 18 months, she will have grown in this time. The odds are against her, much like once Shcherbakova and Trusova grew their careers were over.
I think Petrosian has a growth spurt it will be over for her as well. The jumps are low as it is. When I say over, I mean in Russia competing for medals. Of course, anywhere else in the world they could skate for another 5 years and compete for big medals.
Maybe you misunderstand me. I'm saying Samodelkina will compete for Olympic gold.
Averbukh confirmed today [1], she will participate in his show at January, 27th (yes, this yearoh no hopefully not an injury again, she was doing so well![]()
The men's draw has just ended.is there no qualifiers for men then?
