You missed this post. Only Kostornaya and Panenkova are there. Well, judges can give inflated scores to ABBA just because she competed at Skate Russia, the same way as they overscored Samodurova yesterday because she won two JGP. I suspect this list of participants includes only Muscovites, but I don't think ladies from St. Pete (specifically Samodurova/Konstantinova) will compete there. So anyway Tarusina should be third or fourth.
And also you confused two Alenas! :disapp:
I didn’t miss that post, but it is not the final version of the competitors. Firstly, there are listed competitors only from Moscow, and secondly, the list is not closed - they are still able to send an email and get added on the list. The list for Russian cup 4 was quite different from the competitors who actually attended.
