Meanwhile, I still think that Elena is capable of getting a score around 190. Julia never scored more than 180 this season(except for Finlandia Trophy) even with ChSq which Elena did not have in her program because she's a junior. I don't think Julia would skate better than her CoC or TEB performances at Jr.Worlds.
I think Courtney will give the two Russians a lot of problem. She has huge jumps, correct technique. Her presentation isn't bad. She can definitely out TES all Russians at this event. As for PCS, if they judge them correctly, the Russian girls shouldn't get any higher PCS than Courtney. Samantha should smoke them all in PCS.
I think Pogorilaya could surprise some people and come away with the bronze. She's been skating very well this season and is quite the little fierce competitor. She's usually pretty consistent with her jumps too, and her PCS are not bad at all, she was 3rd at JGPF where 5 of the 6 ladies all skated lights out in the FS, and she was only a point or two behind Hannah Miller in the total scores. She's my darkhorse for this event. I mean, with a few mistakes she beat Julia in the FS at Russian Junior Nats, so who knows, perhaps silver is not entirely out of the question either.
Are you serious? Or just trolling?I think Courtney will give the two Russians a lot of problem. She has huge jumps, correct technique. Her presentation isn't bad.
