Are Russians putting too much pressure on their wonderbabies?

Gracie Gold isn't faced with an Olympics in her home country two years from now. You'd better believe the RFSF is expecting their young lady stars to bring home medals. It's obvious Leonova and Makarova aren't up to the task, so all the pressure will be on Sotnikova, Tutktamisheva, Korobeinikova et al to deliver the goods.

Champions can cope with pressure. Whichever girl cannot will not become champion. You get used used to it or don't win. Russia has a lot of girls so someone should be able to skate well even with the pressure.
