At this point, Trusova-Kostornaia-Gubanova looks like the trio they are setting up for, considering the very clear PCS separation between them and the rest of the field. Although Konstantinova somehow still has more PCS than any of them even though they're JGP top 2 and one's a national bronze medalist. So if she has a good FS they just might feel like sending her.
And for Konstantinova, "a good FS" means only 2 or so pops / falls, because it's not like she skates clean programs.
They seem to recognize how badly she needs the junior worlds spot! Hopefully they stick to it during the FS as well. The margins are still very low and mistakes are going to cost a lot.

3Lz-3Lo from Vasilieva :reye: Was not expecting that.

Vasilieva gets so much speed out of her edges. Feel bad she didn't get a JGP in the end, but there's just so many talents and not enough room for them all.
was 3F-3Lo.

I'd like to remind you with the protocols of RusNats 2018 that, even with two mistakes, Konstantinova still managed to place 3rd in the free and 4th overall.

At Moscow cup, she attempted it but ended up popping. Good to see her succeeding with it.
Yes but seniors usually have much more room for PCS manipulation. Even in a domestic competition, I don't think quite such inflation is going to happen in juniors.
Of course, if she did end up skating clean clean she probably would take it no matter what but ...

Whoops
Mine do too, I just knew it couldn't be 3Lz-3Lo because solo jump for juniors is 3Lz

Oh dear...
I really wish I could get more excited about the best comp of the season but I can't
A well deserved lead for Sasha!!
I really don't see what's so special about Gubanova. Everyone loves her on here but her jump technique looks awful and her skating skills aren't all they're chalked up to be. I'd give the advantage to Kostornaya or Tarakanova any day.
So sad about Alena's fall. This really is an important comp and she needs to do well here. Still, she has the free ahead of her.
Why is Panenkova always so underscored?? And Tarakanova here as well, yes, she stumbled but still, this is ridiculous.
Konstantinova should have withdrawn here by the looks of that short. Of course she'll get Medvedeva-level PCS in the free :disapp: and somehow end up on the podium :dev2:
Was Anna clean?

Sotnikova was also loved domestically, but I don't think she even had this level of inflation. :scratch3:

I don't care how badly she needs the JWC spot. She has to earn it. She hasn't so far this season and they don't have a BOW criteria.
If Tarakanova, Panenkova, or Shcherbakova are randomly placed behind her, I will be FURIOUS, ABSOLUTELY FURIOUS

At this age, she already was an olympic gold medalist, however. And she had some actual, much stronger international achievements even before that, like an Euro silver. Another difference is that in Sotnikova's time, the competition just wasn't there so it's easy to see why she would be pushed.
Now, though? It makes no sense at all to invest so heavily on someone like Konstantinova.

Let's compare PCS from the short programme:
Gubanova: 33.18(Sr), 32.57(Jr) ==> -0.61
Kostornaia: 32.63(Sr), 32.26(Jr) ==> -0.37
Guliakova: 30.45(Sr), 30.31(Jr) ==> -0.14
Panenkova: 30.68(Sr), 30.02(Jr) ==> -0.64
Konstantinova: 33.78(Sr), 33.08(Jr) ==> -0.70
For all junior skaters who participated in the Russian Nationals, the scaling of PCS are quite consistent. Therefore, I believe that if Konstantinova was able to get 74PCS in the RusNats, there is high probability that she would be able to get a similar PCS with around 1 point less (but still way over 70 PCS) as according to the Sr-Jr scale.
