Your logic is the exact same logic that I replied to. Her being so good isn't a new thing especially for Russian figure skating. When Trusova won her first junior world championships in 2018 she was not only also almost 20 points ahead of Alena Kostornaia but she outscored every single senior lady at the senior world championships and was even higher than Kamila currently is on the season's best scores at 4th. Imagine if they singled her out then and started giving her more opportunities just because of her season and her points difference. Do you see how that doesn't make any sense? Again I am not opposed to Kamila skating in test skates per se, what I am opposed to is the blatant favoritism. All the competitions that you say are remaining for Kamila in this season is the same competitions that are remaining for the rest of the age eligible junior girls so why exactly does she have to be the only one that we have to take that into consideration? Also no one can earn favoritism, that's just a justification on your part. Also if you say the test skates are to serve the national team then why is Kamila who is in the junior national team not skating with the junior team instead of the senior team which she is not a part of?
At last a sensible answer. And the idea that Kamila etc. *need* this valuable experience of a senior test-skate?? lmao. Thinking about it I don't think this will hurt or help Kamila at all. If it affects anyone it will be the seniors. If RusFed is trying to put more pressure on the seniors (although I don't see the need) then they should carry on I guess.
